Three possible reasons why the Harappan civilizations mysteriously declined from the Indus river valley:1. Conquest- They could have been overthrown by other civilizations
2. Environmental disaster- Could have destroyed their environment
3. Earthquake- An Earthquake could have changed the course of the river so much that a lot of the tributaries dried up.
