#Mohenjodaro was once a metropolitan city, trade hub and largest city of #Indus_Valley_Civilization that was ruined 1500 BC. Reason of its ruination is still unknown however the city was discovered in 1912 by the archaeologists of sub continent and first excavation to further explore the ruins was started after 1920 by Sir John Marshal and later by Khan sb siddiqi, BL drama, Rai Bahadur kashinath and some other European archaeologists. After discovery, this city was enlisted in the world's prestigious heritages.
During various excavations at site of ruins near Larkana interior Singh, lot of artifacts were recovered including human skeletons, the idols of gods they worshipped, things under their usage like utensils, tools, weapons, ornaments, storage vessels and many more things that are placed in the museum near actual site. Many objects were shifted to New Delhi, London and France before partition of the sub continent.
Only 20% of the ruined city is excavated, rest of 80% is still under earth. It was the largest, modern and well planned city of the era of indus valley civilization. Infact, we learnt so many civilized things from them and practise in our daily life. Their construction norms, welcoming the guests, great bath, drainage network and innovative technical ways to fulfill the requirement of daily life were just as awesome and marvelous as in the modern world.
During 2nd century, the highest mound of ruined city wad taken over by Buddhas and built Buddhist stupa there that is another marvel of old ages.
For the first time in life, I happened to be there and really enjoyed knowing the history of our ancestors. Here I'm uploading the video as well. Like and share to promote rich history and culture of Pakistan and indo pak.
