Описание: Imagine a civilization that thrived without wheels, yet built one of the world's first urban wonders: the Indus Valley, around 2600 BCE. No chariots or carts here—instead, pure brilliance in boats, bricks, and beyond.First, boats. The Indus people mastered maritime trade, sailing from Lothal's massive dockyard to Mesopotamia. Their ships, sealed with bitumen and rigged for long voyages, carried cotton, beads, and ivory across stormy seas. Proof? Archaeologists found a 4,500-year-old shipyard dock—still the largest of its kind.Then, bricks. Standardized fired bricks formed waterproof sewers, multi-story homes, and the grand citadel of Mohenjo-Daro. These weren't crude mud lumps; they were precision-engineered, baked for durability, creating cities that handled floods and waste like modern plumbing.And the brilliance? Advanced tech everywhere: the world's first known toothbrush from neem twigs, standardized weights for fair trade, even a "pastry cutter" for uniform seals. They planned grid cities with public baths, granaries, and toilets—flushing sanitation 4,000 years before your apartment.Wheel-less? Sure. But the Indus proved tech isn't about rolling—it's about smart, sustainable innovation that stood the test of time. What ancient tech blows your mind most?
