Indus Valley was only discovered for the west in
1921 and excavations didn't begin till 1926 and
never on the scale of Ancient Egypt, even though
they existed at the same point in time, only a
few thousand kilometres apart. Indus have been
found to have been the earliest users of
polychrome paints,
surpassing the Mesopotamians who were thought to
be the first, they now are believed to be the
earliest practitioners of dentistry, were advanced in
town planning, sewerage and water.
