What are the limits of our knowledge of Harappan civilizations? Choose two correct answers.         Answers: Since the Harappan script has not been deciphered we know little about the social and political organization of the Harappan state and the Harappan belief system.   There are no buildings that can clearly be identified as palaces. Hence, we do not know if there were Harappan rulers.   The Harappan script does not mention rulers, thus we do know who was in charge of the central planning of cities, such as Mohenjo-daro.   Since massive floods destroyed ancient Harappan cities, we do not know much about their layout.
