Neolithic Mehrgarh
7,000-3,300 BCEAmong the world's earliest farming communities on the Kachi plain of Balochistan.
Chapter I
The Story of Ancient South Asia
Long before empires, before the great cities, before the sacred texts were written, humans had already called this land home for millennia.
The first South Asian farmers were Neolithic pioneers at Mehrgarh, one of the earliest farming communities in the world, cultivating wheat and barley on the Kachi plain of Balochistan. Their world laid the foundation for one of the great urban civilizations of the ancient world: the Indus Valley Civilization.
Harappa and Mohenjo-daro became sprawling cities with advanced drainage, standardized weights, and a still-undeciphered script. To the north, the BMAC (Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex) flourished in Central Asia, while Gandhara became a crucible of Hellenistic, Persian, and Indian traditions.
The Kushan Empire connected South Asia to the Silk Road, while the Himalayan kingdoms developed in mountain isolation. Population genetics shows strong continuity between many of these ancient groups and the modern peoples of South Asia.
