Humanity has always wanted to compare its personal situation with that of others in order to take the necessary measures in order to avoid having problems. We are doing something similar now with respect to climate change. We want to know how ancient cultures adapted to the different changes that have occurred in the climate in order to know what we have to do, and how.
As well. Indus Valley culture, a civilization that lived from 3000 to 1300 BC in northwestern present-day India, He resisted climate change adapting as best he could and knew the new circumstances that were presented to him.
Formerly human settlements were near water sources; not in vain, the precious liquid is very necessary, not only to stay hydrated, but also to be able to cultivate. Thus, in the early Holocene, the Indus civilization was located in the vicinity of Kotla Dahar, a deep lake that allowed them to have a regular and constant entry of rainfall, which due to its location would have been above all monsoon.
During the period 2200-2000 a. C., the level of the waters of the Kotla Dahar decreased progressively as a result of the weakening of the monsoon as revealed by records of speleothems (mineral deposits in caves) in Oman and northeastern India. However, they continued there.

Dr Cameron Petrie, from the Division of Archeology at the University of Cambridge, said:
Rather than being forced to intensify or diversify livelihood practices in response to climate change, we have evidence of the use of millet, rice, and tropical legumes in the pre-urban and urban phases of the Indus civilization. This evidence suggests that local populations were already well adapted to living in varied and variable environmental conditions prior to the development of urban centers and that these adaptations were beneficial when faced with changes in the local environment.
