Jacob: The Indus Valley Civilization game gave valuable information about the ancient Middle East. It shows the process of archeologists. It also shows different artifacts that would be found there.
This game summarizes lots of information into an interactive game. It is highly educational. This exposed me to different elements of archeology.
