Welcome to the Ancient India Site. This web page is designed

In this page, we will tell you a little bit about the history of Ancient India. India is divided
into two seperate civilization, the Indus, and the Aryan. The Indus Valley civilization is one of the oldest civilizations
in the world. It dates back at least 5,000 years ago.

**Population in India is approximately 10 to 1 compared to that of the United States.
**The average temperature is 90 degrees
There are no painted walls nor covering the floors and no floors with carpeting due to the high humidity causing a lot
of mold.
**Residents of rural areas rely on each other because they are in villages.
**The decoration of the home has a lot to do with religious beliefs . Something you may not believe is how the cows share
the houses. Shrines (which are places to worship their gods) may be the only decoration or focal point in the house.

| Picture of the plumbing/water they use. |
**In India, running water and indoor plumbing just aren't a part of life.
**India pretty much has no more forest left because of the fact that fire is still the main source of heat and the main
burning substance is poop.
