Mohenjo Daro

Mohenjo-Daro, located in the Sindh province of Pakistan, is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, dating back to around 2500 BCE. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, it showcases advanced urban planning, sophisticated drainage systems, and remarkable brick architecture. The site’s layout reveals a grid-like city structure, with homes built from standardized fired bricks, reflecting an impressive understanding of urban design. Mohenjo-Daro also features significant artifacts, including seals, pottery, and tools, which provide insights into the daily life, economy, and culture of its inhabitants. Despite facing threats from climate change and neglect, efforts are ongoing to preserve this invaluable testament to early human civilization and its contributions to history.
