Rig ved only knows abt copper also indicate its antiquity We have bactrian camels in Indus seals but word for it only comes in later vedic period or later books when language is very different and evolved Some king named Tirindera parsua is gifting bactrian camels (Ustra or ushta ) to vedic rishis And it also shows where persians lived at that time somewhere near bactria

Very good narrationbrPost Vedic period it was a barter systembrAlso it has been recorded that there were proto coins/primitive money post Vedic period, but still there are lack of evidences of this Primitive money were similar to celtic rings made of lead material or sometimes lead rings coated with goldbrAround 600 BC there was Acheamenid Empire, Cyrus the great, Darius and from Gandhara region there was a king Pushkarsin The very first coin of India was Bent Bar, futher it was classified into 1/8, 1/16 Shatamanas, manasbrLater Nanda/Maurya introduced Karshapanas/Panas, Mashakas (smallest unit of currency of that time) Mashakas was a weekly salary of labourers during that time and it has been recorded in Arthshastra Kautilya

Thanks for sincerely making videos on such obscure topics only few might be interested in with such enthusiasm and consistency I feel hopeful about the future generation when they have role models like you to look up to Your level of detail and thoroughness is really commendable I’m learning how someone with training in history questions the data they have from multiple sources and gleans information from them and keeps an open mind Hopefully your channel reaches more people I’m not a Hindi speaker myself but since you seem to be one, I’m wondering why don’t you make these videos in Hindi or provide subtitles in Hindi They will reach so many more people Also I’m glad you are venturing south of Vindhyas these days

Comment from : Tathagat Quandalius Ganesh

Very interesting, I really enjoy your videos Quick question: do you not think the miniature artifacts found in the Indus Valley Civilization could have been coins of that age?

1:30 - another evidence supporting early Vedic period was before Harappa and Mohenjodaro Silver is not found in early Vedic literature (Rigveda) but silver is definitely found in Indus cities (in small quantities) As well as bronze, etcbrbrYajurveda, Atharvaveda etc do mention silver, bronze, lead, tin, etc

Comment from : Shekhar B

Very interesting! What I find most remarkable is that the Harappan civilization was so oriented towards trade and even conducted international trade all on the barter system Any idea what they got in return when selling goods?
