The discovery of Mohenjo-daro led to tremendous excitement in the archaeological and historical worlds. The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300\u20131700 B.C.E., flowered 2600\u20131900 B.C.E.), abbreviated IVC, had been an ancient riverine civilization that flourished in the Indus river valley in Pakistan and north-west India. Although the beginning of the Indus Valley Civilization predated the founding of Mohenjo-daro, and thousands of villages and towns had been discovered throughout the region occupied by the Indus Valley people, Mohenjo-daro represented the largest, most sophisticated city discovered. Archaelogists believe that they have discovered the key city in the civilization, existing during the flowering of the Indus Valley Civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohenjo-daro had been a remarkable construction, considering its antiquity. It has a planned layout based on a grid of streets, laid out in perfect patterns. The buildings of the city had advanced designs, and structures constructed of sun dried bricks of baked mud and burned wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholars suggest from the study of remains, that Mohenjo-daro had been successively destroyed and rebuilt at least seven times. Each time, the new cities built directly on top of the old ones. The city divided into two parts, the Citadel and the Lower City. Most of the Lower City is yet a mystery to be unrevealed, but that the Citadel had the public bath, known as the Great Bath, which is considered as one of the best-known remarkable structures excavated from the ruins of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
