New York: According to a study done by a scientist of Indian origin, the change in the form of monsoon due to climate change can be the reason for the rise and fall of ancient Indus Valley civilization. The study analyzed 5,700 years of data from North India.

Nishant Malik of, US-based Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), in his analysis used a new mathematical method to study the nature of the climate in ancient India. The research report published in ‘Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science’ states that the presence of special chemical conditions in the mineral deposits deposited in caves in South Asia, records the last 5,700 years of monsoon rainfall in the scientific field. Could.

However, Malik said that studying ancient climate with mathematical methods uniquely used to understand the climate is a challenging task. Malik said that there are many beliefs about why the Indus Valley Civilization fell. However, he said that no mathematical system has done this till now.
