Question

Which of the following serves as proof of the interactions between the Indus Valley Civilisation and the Mesopotamian Civilisation?

• A. The presence of each other's seals at the other's excavation sites
• B. Both civilisations unfolded simultaneously
• C. Harappan scripts pertaining to the Mesopotamian civilisation were deciphered
• D. The same causes brought about the end of both civilisations

Answer 1

The correct option is A The presence of each other's seals at the other's excavation sites

A seal was considered to be a mark of quality. Traders used these seals as an assurance of the same. Identifying them has been a useful exercise in mapping trade between civilisations. In this respect, Sumerian seals have been discovered at Indus Valley sites, while Indus Valley seals have also been found at excavation sites in Sumer.
