Indus
The name Indus comes from ancient India where around five thousand years ago (2600 B.C. to 1700 B.C), a civilization developed on the Indus River known as Indus Valley. The cities of the Indus Valley Civilization were well-organised and solidly built out of brick and stone. Their drainage systems, wells and water storage systems were the most sophisticated in the ancient world. They also developed systems of weights and trade.
