The Lost City of Mohenjo Daro


Mohenjo Doro
     Mohenjo Daro was a well-planned and rich city. Much evidence shows that it was one of the richest and most successful towns in the subcontinent of India, having a population of 35,000 for numerous years.




    One of the most signifact reasons for the town's success was the way that it was engineered. The whole town was above ground level, protected from the floods. It also had a sewer system that was very sophisticated for the time. Every house had a sewer system and even an indoor bathroom. The town was split into two halves, a residential one, and a  more public one where structures such as the citadel were located. Both of these sides included canals to drain surplus water.





       The life in the town was simple and organized. The town had very sophisticated trading systems, and an extremely successful cotton production.They also had a strong army that included their fast charriots. Altogether, the people of Mohenjo Daro created a very strong civilization. This had enabled them to survive for numerous years.
