I wonder if the river dried up 4,000 years ago as a result of events that resulted in a 2 mile wide impact crater now visible in the dried up Iraq marshes. There could have been other impacts in the Indian Ocean, much closer to the Indus Valley.
Not sure about "continuation", I'm not seeing that, but I'll keep looking. Regarding the impact, not bad, not bad at all... there are some topics around here about that, I'm sure, let's see..
An Impact Event in 3114BC? The beginning of a Turbulent Millennium.
