Mohenjo-daro means City of Dead in Sindhi language, is an archaeological site in Pakistani province of Sindh. It is believed to be one of the earliest urban settlement of the human history. Mohinjo-daro was built around 2600-2500 BC and nearly 1800 BC this ancient settlement of Indus valley was ruined.
Mohenjo-daro was rediscoverd from the sands of time in 1922. The site when fully recovered showed some amazing facts about the city and its citizens. The archaeological tests proved that this city was existed in same age when Egyption civilization was at its peak. The system of the city is very advance as compared to that times. The sanitation system of the city is very impressive and even can be seen in the ruins of the city.
After its discovery many Indian, Pakistanis and foreign archaeologists worked on the site but its still a very much unsolved mystery. As till date no body has been able to properly understand the language of Mohenjo-daro, most of the knowledge is derived from artifacts and archaeological diggings.
It is believed that this city could just survived for some centuries because of the peacefulness of its citizens as archaeologists have hardly found any weapons on the site. Its large food storage halls, its water system, its sanitation system is somewhat that has amazed most of the archaeologists because of it advanced nature as compare to that time.
Its a UNESCO Heritage Site, where still experts are working under the umbrella of UNESCO, who know we may be closed to discovering an other great civilization, where people were very civilized and peaceful and had the best facilities available to them during that age on inconvenience.
