Scientist Reveals Possible Reason Behind Mysterious Fall of Indus Valley Civilisation:
In an article published in Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, Nishant Malik, Assistant Professor at the School of Mathematical Studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology revealed a new technique he developed to show how shifting monsoon patterns potentially triggered the fall of the Indus Valley Civilisation, a contemporary civilisation to Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt in the Bronze Age.
Malik worked out a method to study paleoclimate time series, sets of data that shed a light on past climates through indirect observations. Researchers were able to develop a record of monsoon rainfall in the region for the past 5,700 years by measuring the presence of a certain isotope in stalagmites from a cave in South Asia.
Until he came up with his approach there was no mathematical proof, however, his research showed that just before the Indus Valley Civilisation's decline there was a significant shift in monsoon patterns. The pattern subsequently reversed course right before decline, which, according to the scientist, lilely[sic] means that the civilisation's ultimate fall was caused by climate change.

Was it Runaway1956? More and more I am convinced, if anything can take down a whole civilization, it is Runaway and the collabration of the Ed squad.
But, you know, you do you. You don't need me, and god knows I don't need you. But it is fun to correct just a little at times. Saltmines for Soylentils? Really, it is the only way to be sure.

Of course the lefties, conditioned to see all climate change as antropogenic, will have a bit of a problem to come to terms with this. Come on guys, stuff happens. It's not always fault of the white man. When it is, it's a good exercise to go looking at what variety of white we are talking about.

Could any non-English speaker please get into the illogical foreign mind of whoever wrote this garbage and explain it?
1. Shift in Monsoon "just before"
2. Civilization declines.
3. Reverse in Monsoon "right before"
4. Civilization declines.
Sometimes you just need a group of white men to sort things out then you can go back to hiring bottom-shelf decrepit imbeciles from 3rd world shitholes to maintain the churn.

See? Harapan guys didn't burn coal and shit, and they still got fucked over.
So why bother? Let's burn shit.

The Indus valley civilization had to leave when their streets became submerged under human shit. They evolved into modern-day Indians.
