What we know:
In 1925 while building a railroad archeologists found urban ruins which were unknown up to that point. They were the remains of two cities: Mohenjo-daro and Harappa. One thing they noticed was that although they had the ability to make sharp tools such as knives, whose size indicates that they were probably for cooking, there wasn't the typical additional application of this technology for warfare.
There was a steady decline and people continued living in the cities, but we do know that around 1500 b.c. the invading Aryans destroyed the city of Mohen-Jordaro. However, what happened to Harappa is uncertain.
