It remained invisible for almost four thousand years, until its ruins were discovered in the 1920s by British and Indian archaeologists. Today, after almost a century of excavation, it is regarded as the beginning of Indian civilization and possibly the origin of Hinduism. \u003ci\u003eThe Indus: Lost Civilizations\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible introduction to every significant aspect of an extraordinary and tantalizing \"lost\" civilization, which combined artistic excellence, technological sophistication, and economic vigor with social egalitarianism, political freedom, and religious moderation.
