It has been claimed to represent the easternmost manifestation of a 3rd millennium interregional urbanization and trade network that included the Nile Valley and the area expanding from the Mediterranean Sea to the East throughout the Iranian plateau to the wider Indus region. Masterpieces of these cultures including jewelry and fine vessels share a corpus of common forms and imagery, demonstrating not only the breadth but also the depth of intercultural exchange along the vast trading network that stretched between the Mediterranean and the Indus river. On the basis of archaeological evidence, the existence of indirect contacts between the Aegean and the Indus Valley civilization can validly be inferred. The two civilizations flourished in this first early cosmopolitan context, taking advantage of achievements made in distant places. date: 2021 type: Book type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeumdokhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeumdok/5495/1/Konidar%C4%93s_Indus_2022.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/propylaeumdok.00005495 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-propylaeumdok-54952 identifier: Konidarēs, Dēmētrios (2021) O Πολιτισμος του ινδου και το Αιγαιο: Ομοιότητες και Συγγένειες. relation: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeumdok/5495/ rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess rights: Please see front page of the work (Sorry, Dublin Core plugin does not recognise license id) language: gre
