The Ancient City of Mohenjo-daro

Mohenjo-daro was one of the most important cities of the Indus Valley Civilization.

It was built around 2500 BCE in what is now Pakistan.

The city had advanced urban planning, with straight streets and a drainage system.

Archaeologists believe it was a center of trade and culture.

The houses were made of baked bricks, and some even had multiple floors.

Mohenjo-daro was mysteriously abandoned around 1900 BCE.

The exact reason for its decline is still unknown, but theories include floods or changes in the river.

Today, Mohenjo-daro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts researchers and tourists from around the world.
