The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about $15$ decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive $_{6}^{14}C$ present with the stable carbon isotope $_{6}^{12}C$. When the organism is dead,its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life ($5730$ years) of $_{6}^{14}C$,and the measured activity,the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of $_{6}^{14}C$ dating used in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of $9$ decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age (in years) of the Indus-Valley civilisation.
