Moen-Jo-Daro Sindh Pakistan:The City Of Deads

We had a memorable trip to Moen-jo-Daro.Moen-jo Daro means the city of Dead. It is located in the District of Larkana,Sindh.The city depicts a picture of ruins however the remnants of the city verifies that once it was a remarkable city with outstanding planning and infra-structure. These historical remnants are about 4000 years old. The inhabitants were very intelligent planners. A time period of approximately 4000 years ago when the technological development was zero they managed to sort out a well planned city.
Each house was made of large baked bricks and had a bathroom and servant quarter too. Covered drain ran beside the streets. Even these were built of baked bricks. This showed how well organized those people were in those times. Carts and other forms of transport could come right to the centre of the town.
If you have an opportunity to visit this place you can still see the great hall where the grains were stored. There is a wide road in the middle of which was the shopping centre with shops on both sides. The city of Moen-Jo-Daro was found when a team of excavators under the leadership of Sir Mortimer Wheeler reached to the place.
During the excavation process, some objects were found that provided guidance about the city. These interesting historical objects are placed in Museum. These include seals of various animals, terra cota figurines,designed ornaments, toys and painted pottery. A metal statue of a dancing girl has also been discovered. It is because of these metal objects the probable age of these historical ruins have been estimated. There is no proof of how the city got destroyed however some objects indicate them to met their destiny by the attack of Aryans, who plundered their for food and shelter.
