The major cities of the [[Indus Valley Civilisation]], such as [[Harappa]] and [[Mohenjo-daro]], date back to around 3300&nbsp;BC, and represent some of the largest human habitations of the ancient world. The Indus Valley Civilisation extended from across northeast Afghanistan to Pakistan and northwest India,<ref>{{cite book|title=Daily Life in the Indus Valley Civilization|page=6|first=Brian|last=Williams|publisher=Raintree|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ArReCgAAQBAJ|year=2016|isbn=978-1406298574}}</ref> with an upward reach from east of [[Jhelum River]] to [[Ropar]] on the upper Sutlej. The coastal settlements extended from [[Sutkagan Dor]] at the Pakistan, [[Iran]] border to [[Kutch]] in modern [[Gujarat]], India. There is an Indus site on the [[Amu Darya]] at Shortughai in northern Afghanistan, and the Indus site [[Alamgirpur]] at the [[Hindon River]] is located only {{convert|28|km|0|abbr=on}} from [[Delhi]]. To date, over 1,052 cities and settlements have been found, mainly in the general region of the [[Ghaggar-Hakra River]] and its tributaries. Among the settlements were the major urban centres of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, as well as [[Lothal]], [[Dholavira]], [[Ganeriwala]], and [[Rakhigarhi]]. Only 90–96 of more than 800 known Indus Valley sites have been discovered on the Indus and its tributaries.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} The [[Sutlej]], now a tributary of the Indus, in Harappan times flowed into the Ghaggar-Hakra River, in the watershed of which were more Harappan sites than along the Indus.
