The Harappan civilization thrived between 2500 BCE and 1900 BCE, lasting six centuries, existing 4,000 years ago. In these cities, we find seals with images that give a tantalising glimpse of a mythology that may thrived in those cities before the arrival of Indo-European myths 500 years later, around 1500 BCE.

We really do not know what the myths of the Harappans were; but we can speculate, based on the seals and also using certain peculiar measurements and orientations of architecture found in the cities. For eg, most cities are aligned in the East-West direction, while burials took place in north south direction, revealing directions had meaning.
