>>17410683BMAC literally had some of largest cities in the world in the world at the time. They had extensive trade with IVC and Sumerians as well.
Victor Sariandi and Michael Witzel barely scratched the surface with BMAC. The terrible political climate did not allow them to excavate it completely.
Also, I remember there being a theory that BMAC is the Aratta that is mentioned in Sumerian sources. Aratta is the wealthy civilization to the East.
BMAC definitely fits the criteria of a civilization which is why most scholars literally call it the “Oxus Civilization” lol
