A map outlining historical sites in Pakistan
The history of Pakistan encompasses the history of the region constituting modern-day Pakistan. For over three millennia, the region has witnessed human activity[1] and one of the world's major civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilisation. The trade routes which traverse the Indus Valley linking Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Orient have attracted people from as far as Greece and Mongolia and several imperial powers, the last being the British Empire.
