The rise of the great Indian cities of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa.

The rise of the great Indian cities of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa represents a monumental achievement in the ancient world, showcasing the ingenuity and complexity of the Indus Valley Civilization. These cities emerged around 2600 BCE along the banks of the Indus River and became thriving urban centers characterized by meticulous planning and advanced infrastructure. Mohenjo Daro and Harappa were laid out in a grid-like pattern, complete with sophisticated drainage systems, standardized bricks, and multi-storied buildings, which suggest an organized society with efficient governance and civic planning. The presence of large public baths, granaries, and well-planned streets reflects a high level of social coordination and technological know-how. Economically and culturally vibrant, both cities served as hubs for trade, artisanship, and possibly even administration. Artifacts such as pottery, tools, ornaments, and seals found in excavations indicate that these cities maintained wide-reaching trade links, including with Mesopotamia. The script found on seals and tablets, though still undeciphered, hints at a literate and administratively capable society. The rise of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa signifies not just the dawn of urban civilization in South Asia but also the birth of one of the world’s earliest and most enigmatic cultures—an enduring symbol of ancient Indian excellence. \#MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife #MohenjoDaro #Harappa #IndusValley #AncientIndia #UrbanCivilization #HistoryUncovered
