Mohenjo Daro

                        Mohenjo Daro

The article we read talked about the ancient city of Mohenjo Daro. Throughout the article the author mentioned that the people of Mohenjo Daro were skilled at city planning. They had a well plan city, with an advanced drainage system.  Compared to the other cities Mohenjo Daro lacked palaces, temples and monuments, this lead archeologist into questioning whether the people of Mohenjo Daro had a form of government. Some archeologist believe that it was governed as a city state and that each section of the city had their own representative who would govern that area. The city was one of the most important ones in the Indus river valley because of its size it spreads over 250 hectares, for that time a city that size was huge.

Unfortunately not much is known about Mohenjo Daro, therefore there is a lot of information on the internet, but I hope that further research will help historian learn more about this amazing city.
