Kot Diji: The Fortified Town That Came Before the Indus Cities — Factsmatic

What existed before the great planned cities of the Indus Valley Civilization? At Kot Diji in Sindh, archaeologists uncovered evidence of an earlier settlement, revealing a distinct culture known as the Kot Dijian, dating back roughly 5,000 years. Its people built fortified structures, made distinctive pottery and lived in a settlement marked by a mysterious layer of ash and burned debris. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown. Not to be confused with the much later Kot Diji Fort, this ancient site offers a fascinating glimpse into the communities that came before the rise of the great Indus cities. #KotDiji #KotDijianCulture #IndusValleyCivilisation #SindhHistory #AncientCivilisations #Archaeology #PakistanHistory #MohenjoDaro #AncientHistory #Factsmatic Kot Diji explained, Kot Dijian culture, ancient Kot Diji settlement, Indus Valley Civilisation origins, early Indus civilisation, Kot Diji archaeological site, F A Khan archaeologist, ancient Sindh history, prehistoric settlements in Pakistan, Factsmatic
