These cultures have diffused together and give the oldest and first settlement in the shape of Mehrgarh civilization at Subcontinent. This region has been the cradle of civilizations for thousands of years. The archaeological sites could be found everywhere in Balochistan. Balochistan remained the gateway between the civilizations of West and East and this continued till the arrival of Arab in Sub-continent. The present culture of Balochistan is same as it was before thousands of years, except few cities. The harsh and rough land of Balochistan still has same village type culture and these cultures are unique in the World. As the geographical condition of Balochistan is very rough and harsh, but despite this characteristic, this land witnessed the rise and fall different civilizations throughout the World. This is the reason that every time new archaeological material of Balochistan compels the scholars to give new theories or previous one revised.
