Ruins of Mahen-jo-daro civilization...
 

Mohenjo-daro is an archeological site in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. Built around 2600 BCE, it was one of the largest settlements of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization , and one of the world's earliest major urban settlements, existing at the same time as the civilizations
of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Crete. Mohenjo-daro was abandoned in the 19th
century BCE, and was not rediscovered until
1922. Significant excavation has since been
conducted at the site of the city, which was
designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. However, the site is currently threatened by erosion and improper restoration.
