_ What is the topic? What does it cover?

The study of ancient India is mainly the study of a mystery. Little is known about the civilizations that inhabited the area now known as India. The excavation of the city of Harappa revealed a highly evolved civilization that vanished about 1500 B.C. What is known about ancient India is fascinating to study.
