Objet : [INDOLOGY] Question

 

This question occurred to me recently. Does the massive flooding that Pakistan recently experienced give us some possibilities about the demise of the Indus Civilization? Are there any indications of such massive floods in Indus archaeology? I would appreciate any suggestions for reading on this topic. Best regards,
