Maybe that’s why the civilization died-off? Their collective gut couldn’t simply digest it.
Latest finding for Inca and Maya civilizations is that the mud they coated temples, homes, roads etc with, contained LIME, which poisoned their food growing fields, with so much rain, and they starved or left for other cities.
Maybe.
Would add something to how there are sudden mass deaths in certain indus valley cities.
A disease spreads through the populace, panic arises followed by violence, city rulers lose control.
Maybe some rivalry, “THEY cursed us” claims.
One group punishes the other for existing.
The remains that have been found appear to have been hasty, which of course doesn’t rule out mass graves by their killers. If memory serves, the early literature describing the time of the inward migration of the Aryans (now anachronistically denied by political hacks) said Harappan cities were filled with dead.
