The Indus Valley civilization was at its peak from the 3rd till middle of the 2nd millennium BC.

Moehenjodaro is considered one of the most spectacular Asian cities of the world. It had mud and baked brick buildings, an elaborately covered drainage system, a large state granary, a spacious pillared hall, a college of priest, a palace and a citadel. Harapa, another major city of the Indus Valley Civilization, was surrounded by a massive brick wall fortification. Other futures and plan of the city were similar to that of Moehenjodaro. The Kot Diji culture is marked by well made poetry and houses built of mud-brick and stone foundations. Mehr Garh, the oldest civilization (7000 BC), remains of which were found in district Kacchi of Balouchistan recently, was the pioneer of the Indus Valley Civilization. The evidences of crop cultivation, animal husbandry and human settlements have been found here. The inhabitants of Mehr Garh were living in mud brick houses and learned to make pottery around 6000 BC.
