Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus Valley Civilisation Cradle
Gazette reporter John G. Morgan visits Mohenjo-Daro near Dokri Pakistan to study a city buried by floods and destroyed by invasions. He notes Great Bath ruins, roofless houses with drains, and evidence of multi layered cities with early metallurgy and jewelry. Archaeologist R E M Wheeler explains inhabitants varied in build and appearance as a camel caravan from Afghanistan and Iran arrives with lapis and turquoise. The article imagines a violent destruction around 1500 B C and ends by urging departure from the ruined site.
