Where was Mohenjo-daro?



Mohenjo-daro was the capital city of the civilization that flourished in the basin of the River Indus (Sindhu). Built around 2500 BC, it was fully planned and so advanced, that it is comparable to a modern developed country! It covered an area of about 10 sq kms and the population was over 50,000 – a large number for those days. The buildings were made from bricks, held together by mortar.
