Overview

Mohenjo-daro, meaning "Mound of the Dead," is one of the best-preserved urban settlements of the Bronze Age Indus Valley Civilization, dating to around 2500 BCE. Its grid-planned streets, sophisticated drainage system and the famous Great Bath make it one of the most important archaeological sites in South Asia.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980, the ruins sit near Larkana in Sindh and include an on-site museum displaying artefacts recovered from the excavation, including the well-known "Priest-King" sculpture and Indus seals.

History

Mohenjo-daro flourished from roughly 2500 to 1900 BCE as one of the largest settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization, alongside Harappa in present-day Punjab. It was rediscovered and excavated beginning in the 1920s, revealing an advanced urban culture with standardised brick sizes, covered drains and multi-storey buildings that predates much of the ancient world's known urban planning.
