By 2600 BCE hundreds of cities and towns had been founded and the Indus Valley Civilization was at its peak between 2500 and 2000 BCE. Two towns, in particular, were excavated at the Mohenjo-Daro sites on the lower Indus, and further upstream at Harappa. Around 1800 BCE the civilization of the Indus Valley saw the beginning of its decline period. Writing began to vanish, uniform weights and measures used for the purposes of trade and taxes were abolished, the link with the Near East was broken, and some cities were phased out.
