Pretty models!

The Mohenjo-Daro still looks like it could be ancient Egypt too.
Iirc the IVC had trade and cultural connections extending all the way into Turkey and Egypt.

Yup, espicially with the Sumerians and the natives of the Persian gulf.

....

Honestly, their clothing looks distinctly South Asian, and really, Pakistanis and Indians trace large percentage of their genes from these ancient peoples. We can see their cultural continuity in today's South Asians as well.

Yeah, even by Herodotus who stated that the Indians of the North(Indo-Aryans) are like the Egyptians similar in their appearances while he compared the Southern Indians(Dravidians) to the Ethiopians in terms of skin coloration only.

An example is that this dancing girl of Lakshimi that was brought to Pompeii, Italy looks very similar to the dancing girls of the Indus Valley civilization.

You can't help but say that there is a cultural continuity between the Indus Valley civilization and the later civilizations of South Asia.

Three big schools of Art at Gandhara, Madhura & Amaravati played major role in arts & architecture of ancient times. Even today most statues were from those period, showcase daily lives, royal lives etc...
