What is Early Silk Evidence in Indus Civilization about?
New evidence suggests that the Indus Civilization had knowledge of silkworking as early as the mid-third millennium BCE, challenging the belief that sericulture was exclusively a Chinese invention. Microscopic analysis of thread fragments from Harappa and Chanudaro revealed silk fibers from indigenous wild silkmoth species, indicating an independent development of silk production in South Asia. This discovery pushes back the timeline for silk use outside of China by approximately a millennium.
