New research suggests the Indus Valley Civilization didn’t collapse suddenly but declined gradually under decades-long droughts and shifting water sources. Fresh climate simulations and archaeological evidence now point to repeated extreme droughts lasting more than 85 years, including one catastrophic 100-year event that reshaped settlement patterns. As rivers dried and landscapes changed, populations were forced to move, leading to massive deurbanisation across Harappa, Mohenjo-Daro and nearby regions. This new analysis sheds light on how climate stress, not conflict, triggered one of history’s most mysterious declines. In this episode, we break down the science, the discoveries and what truly ended this ancient civilisation.
