First of all the very idea of an "indus valley civilization" has been debunked. The center of the civilization has now been discovered to be the now dried up Saraswati river which was the holiest river of the Rig Vedic Aryans. The river flowed parallel to the Indus, slightly to its east. The civilization which is now properly termed the Vedic civilization or the Indus-Saraswati civilization covered most of present Pakistan, the Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat states of India and even parts of Afghanistan, Uttar Pradesh and coastal Maharashtra. Mesopotamia and Egypt are just a fraction of this size.
Most historians no longer accept the theory of an Aryan invasion of India. Aryans are indigenous to India and the Indus-Saraswati civilization was founded by Aryans.
