Inside Mohenjo-Daro - Earliest Urban Settlements in the World

The Lost City of Mohenjo-Daro, Larkana Sindh.
Earliest Urban Settlements in the World

The city of Mohenjo-Daro, or Moen Jo Daro, was built around 2900 or 2600 BC, and was one of the earliest urban settlements in the world.

Mohenjo-daro 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, contemporaneous with the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Minoan Crete, and Norte Chico. 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 UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.
