Ancient India: Bricks, Beads and Bones

Question:

Select a proof that archaeologists presented as a symbol of an organized state in Harappa.

Options:

large constructions and the planned city which requires large-scale labour mobilization.

The stone scriptures from the Harappan remnants.

The scripture found in Egypt mentions the ruler of Harappa.

The statue of Pries King.

Correct Answer:

large constructions and the planned city which requires large-scale labour mobilization.

Explanation:

Archaeologists argue that there was a single state, given the the similarity in artefacts, the evidence for planned settlements, the standardised ratio of brick size, and the establishment of settlements near sources of raw material. As of now, the last theory seems the most plausible, as it is unlikely that entire communities could have collectively made and implemented such complex decisions.
