Around 2600 BC, Indus Valley created a mineral, ernstite for drilling carnelian and agate. Only recently people realized that it's not a natural mineral but it's made out of heating sandstone and laterite to 1100 degrees. You know how important is that for human technological evolution? There are only two other items in the whole of human history before Industrial Revolution which are near to it in hardness(7.5-8 on Moh's Scale) - Wootz Steel(again, Indian) and porcelain. Just think. For more than 4000 years, humans weren't able to match that technology. 4000 years!!

Ever-increasing like the crescent-moon, the kingdom of Shivaji, son of Shahaji, will always seek the welfare of the people...
शिवराज्याभिषेक दिनी मी अभिमानाने सांगू इच्छितो की, आम्ही इस्रायमध्ये छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांचा पुतळा स्थापित करणार आहोत.
स्मारक महाराजांच्या कार्याला साजेसे होण्यासाठी आम्ही मुख्यमंत्री @Dev_Fadnavis यांच्याकडे सहकार्य मागितले आणि त्यांनी ते तात्काळ देऊ केले.
जय भवानी जय शिवाजी!

This 4,500-year-old terracotta dice from the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is a powerful reminder of India’s living heritage. Dicing is also mentioned as a popular game in Rig and Atharva Vedas (two of the four sacred Vedic scriptures).
From symbols and craftsmanship to rituals, yogic practices, and collective memory, numerous elements of ancient Indian civilization continue to thrive in the daily social and religious life of Indian society across regions and communities.
Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins, it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.
