Brief History of Indus Valley (Harappan) Civilization | 5 MINUTES

The Indus Valley Civilization, also called the Harappan Civilization, was one of the world’s first ancient civilizations. Emerging in 2500 BCE in the western part of South Asia, it spanned an area that stretched from what is now eastern Iran to Pakistan and included much of modern-day India, Afghanistan and Nepal. Since its discovery in the 1920s, archaeologists have been fascinated by this ancient culture and are still unearthing new discoveries about it today. Here’s an overview of this fascinating civilization and how it came to be so advanced for its time period.

This brief video will take you on a tour of the Indus Valley Civilization.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: URGENT REQUEST FOR SUPPORT FOR THE CHANNEL FANS BEFORE HAVING TO PUT AN END TO THE PROJECT!

We have been striving to work on this channel (5 Minutes), producing high quality content that is also concise in as little as Minutes. We thought that this could be interesting to learn curated information in a very short period of time, especially given the quick pace of today's world.

However, unfortunately, after 1 year of consistent and patient work and regular posting of at least 1 video every 2 weeks, we have been disappointed to see that the channel has not really taken off on Youtube. With Less than 1, 000 subs and as little as 300 views per video, we see no other choice but having to halt and put an end to this project we really loved and enjoyed!
We involved different Youtube experts to help us propagate the knowledge offered by this channel but the results have been modest. We understood that such low traction so far may be due to changes done by Youtube on its ranking algorithms to compete with platforms such as TikTok in entertainment videos (dance, music, fun, cooking, sports...).
Although this is a hypothesis and is definitely not verified, we are unable to pursue this project for more than this past year given that it didn't really achieve its number 1 goal, which was reaching as much people as possible around the world and disseminating knowledge in a compelling way.

We will still be publishing our last 3-4 videos over the next couple months.


If not, then no worries, we thank you very much for liking our content and for following it!
All the best!
