Mohenjo-daro

Mohenjo-daro meaning 'Mound of the Dead Men'  is an archaeological site in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Built around 2500 BCE, it was one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation, and one of the world's earliest major cities. Mohenjo-daro was abandoned in the 19th century BCE as the Indus Valley Civilization declined, and the site was not rediscovered until the 1920s. Significant excavation has since been conducted at the site of the city, which was designated a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site in 1980. The site is currently threatened by erosion and improper restoration.
