The Indus valley had what type of government, and how was their power passed through generations

The Indus Valley civilization had a form of government that is believed to be centralized and possibly led by a priest-king or a group of priest-kings. The precise details of their government system are not fully known due to a lack of written records.

The power in the Indus Valley civilization is thought to have been passed down through generations, possibly through a hereditary system. It is believed that the ruler or rulers would pass on their power and position to their offspring, ensuring a continuation of leadership within the same family or dynasty. This dynastic succession would have given the ruling elite a sense of continuity and stability over time. However, the exact mechanisms and rules of succession in the Indus Valley are not fully understood due to the limited amount of evidence available.
