Lost City of Mohenjo Daro

Located, in the nowadays Pakistan, lays the lost city of Mohenjo Daro. Mohenjo Daro stood from about 2500 to 1900 B.C., But then at 1900 B.C. it was abandoned completely and was left as a 'Ghost City'. Scientists claim it was abandoned because the people were in jeopardy of starvation because of Earthquakes that occurred, leaving them without an ability to grow their foods.

The city was found in the year 1911, and many excavations were done in the 1920's through the 1940's. Scientists have found that this was an extremely advanced city. It was a fairly large city, and very advanced. It was built on a hill to prevent floods from the nearby Indus river, and it was one of the only cities of its time to have a sewerage system. It was obvious by the artifacts found that it was a fairly wealthy city, thriving in wealth and trade. Many scientists, archaeologists, and historians have studied every inch of this city, and we still have no idea what happened to make the majority of the cities population leave. It reaches some kind of obvious archaeological fruition about 1900 B.C.," Said Jonathan Mark Kenoyer. "What drives that, nobody knows."

Unlike most religions and beliefs their one was based on something else. The closest found to a temple in the town of Mohenjo Daro was a building that somewhat represented a temple. It is believed that this ancient civilization believed in cleanness every house had a well and a bathroom.
