Which of the following sentences is incorrect about Indus Civilization?

  1. There is a proper drain system
  2. Business and trading is in good condition
  3. Mother goddess was worshipped
  4. People are known to Iron

Answer:

Option D: People are known to Iron

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “People are known to Iron”.

The Indus Valley Civilization, one of the earliest urban civilizations, flourished around 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE. While they were advanced in many ways, including urban planning, sanitation, and trade, they did not have knowledge of iron. Iron metallurgy was developed later, around 1500 BCE, in regions outside the Indus Valley.
