HEADLINE: IS THE ‘CURSE OF THE INDUS’ REPEATING? History Buffs Draw Eerie Parallels Between Pakistan’s 2025 Floods and the Fall of Mohenjo-Daro

ISLAMABAD – As record-breaking floods submerge a third of Pakistan, internet historians are pointing to a chilling pattern they’re calling the “Curse of the Indus.” According to viral threads, the simultaneous collapse of the country’s power grid, political instability, and mass displacement mirrors the exact sequence of events that preceded the sudden decline of the Harappan Civilization on the very same riverbanks 4,000 years ago.

“Sumerian tablets described a ‘year of the great river turning black’ before their trade with Meluhha vanished. We are seeing the same: water-logged salt flats destroying agriculture, just like the geological evidence shows for 1900 BCE,” argues Dr. Amina Khalid, whose comparative timeline has been shared over 500,000 times on X.

Conspiracy theorists are running wild, noting that the ancient civilization collapsed after a 200-year drought that forced mass migration. “Back then, they fled to the Ganges. Today? The visa lines at the Afghan border are the longest they’ve been since partition,” one post reads. “History doesn’t repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes.”

#IndusCurse is now trending, with users overlaying satellite imagery of the 2025 floodplains onto archaeological maps of the lost cities. The government has dismissed the comparisons as “emotional pseudoscience,” but the people of Sindh know a bad omen when the water turns the color of clay potsherds.
