Explanations
Religion
Religion based on the image, I believe they had religion because that is the “Great Baths” which are believed that priest bathed in them before events like ceremonies. Also there might have been animal sacrifices , they worshiped cattle and they had at least one god or goddess. This is why I believe they had religion. Writing I believe this image shows a characteristic of civilization because they look like symbols meant to represent words like Chinese and Japanese writing. Also the writing was put on seals which I think describes the picture tells what the picture means like a symbol. An example today would be like a dove meaning peace. That is why I believe that had writing. Art Based in this picture, I believe they had the characteristic of art because is shows how they made an animal of material like clay or wood and painted it. They also carved pictures like this animal on soap stone and carve other sculptures. Today we make sculptures like they did and like Romans and Greeks too. That is why I believe they had art. Government This pictures shows that they had government because it shows weights. These weights were used to weigh wheat to pay as taxes. I do not know the exact form of government but with taxes comes government. That is why I believe they had government. Technology I believe this picture shows characteristics of technology because it shows metal objects that look like they were used in their work like art sculpting or in farm work like shovels. Also they made clay toys with wheels. Today we use technology of wheels and metal tools like shovels. That is why I believe they had characteristics of technology. Social Structure There is no information on what people know today or evidence that shows that Mohenjodaro. Though there might of been one, we have no evidence for one. Stable Food Supply I believe they had a stable food supple because in the picture shows a granary, which has lots of wheat and grain they farmed. They herded sheep, goat and cattle. They also ate fish, vegetables and other non animal products. And because cattle give milk they could have that as well. That is why I believe they had a stable food supply. ( they were not nomadic) |
