Indus Valley
Despite not hearing of the Indus Valley in any of your history books it was still quite a happening place. It first had a united civilization at the beginning of the Bronze Age. This civilization was not really that powerful but they still were quite influential and made some historic cave paintings. Still their civilization collapsed at the beginning of the iron age. This ushered in a new leader called the Iron Age Verdic period. this was not a combined civilization but more of a common culture that was shared by many city-states. This culture traveled farther than it did before and the warfare was grand. Later this area was ruled over by other people such as the Persians and also Alexander the Great. Finally there was the Mauyra Empire that took back the Indus Valley. This did not last long with the Mughal Empire coming back from the middle east attacked the Indians and they eventually took over for a long time before the Indians finally returned.
