Lets tour Mohenjo Daro

The name of Mohenjo-daro is widely recognized as one of the largest and most important early cities of South Asia and the Indus Civilization. Mohenjo-daro means 'Mound of the dead' and  was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.  Mohenjo-daro is located in the Larkana District of Sindh, Pakistan. 

Mohenjo-Daro was the first city in the world to build streets in a grid fashion. 

Mohenjo-Daro is also the first city to have built a fully functioning drainage system as well 

This street has rocks to cover the drains

Many important buildings surround the stupa. This includes the 'Assembly Hall' and the 'Great Bath'. Each structures looks meaningful!

This stupa is a Buddhist building, from the Kushan period, much later than the underlying ruins

This ancient site is truly a wonder and is worth visiting, even for people who are not archaeologists by profession :)

My next blog will be about something very philanthropic in nature. You have to wait for it!
