Allow your readers to step back in time to ancient India, where the people's contributions to art, architecture, religion, and more shaped a unique culture that can still be seen today. This narrative presents the region's archaeological finds chronologically, allowing readers to trace the civilization's development. Readers learn about life in the early Indus Valley through ancient India's Golden Age of the Gupta period, up until the Muslim Invasion. Detailed photographs of fascinating art, objects, and architecture bring this culture into splendid focus, while fact boxes, a timeline, and a simple map encourage readers to visualize the breadth of ancient India's civilization.
