Mohenjo Daro is an ancient archaeological site located in the province of Sindh in Pakistan. It was one of the largest settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization, which was one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, flourishing between 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE.
The name "Mohenjo Daro" means "Mound of the Dead" in the local language, and the site was first discovered in the 1920s. It is believed to have been inhabited between 2500 BCE and 1900 BCE and was one of the most advanced cities of its time, with sophisticated systems of water management, public baths, and sewage.
The city was laid out in a grid pattern, with large public buildings, houses, and streets. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the city had a complex social and economic system, with evidence of trade and craft specialization.
Despite its advanced features, the city was abandoned around 1900 BCE, and the reasons for its decline are still unclear. Today, Mohenjo Daro is a UNESCO World Heritage site and an important archaeological site that provides valuable insights into the early development of human civilization.
