Back to Mohenjo Daro

Pakistan / India
Although Mohenjo Daro is located in modern-day Pakistan, I always add India on the header since Mohenjo Daro was always in India until the recent partition. Mohenjo Daro is more about Indian history than Pakistan’s; the Indus Valley civilisation was without doubt the engine behind the country and its powerful expansion.
If I was a multi-millionaire, of all the places that require funding this is where I would funnel my money. Mohenjo Daro is without doubt the most important archaeological site in the world in my opinion, mainly because I am convinced civilisation began here. Forget Mesopotamia, Sumer and Egypt – the Indus Valley is where it all began. Can I prove that statement? Not yet, but it won’t be long before it is proven. At least it will if it gets the funding it deserves. Walls recently found in Harappa have been dated to 8,000 years ago, which already puts the Indus Valley civilisation at the top of the list. And you can forget what that stupid site Wikipedia tells you – it’s full of errors and written by people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Unfortunately Pakistan appears to be slipping towards a near civil war. Bombings are increasing and the death toll with it. Naturally this puts people off travelling, although the location of Mohenjo Daro is relatively safe.
Mohenjo Daro was a massive city, built with incredible technology including running water and toilets – the first civilisation to create such luxuries. The irrigation methods adopted there have not changed in that area since they were invented, since no one has been able to create a better system.
I could go on but I’ve said many similar things in previous posts. I shall on the odd occasion buy a lottery ticket, and hope that one day I can not only help to preserve this site, but to allow excavations to continue. But UNESCO have done very little to funnel funds towards Mohenjo Daro, and that in itself is criminal. The Indus Valley is where we all come from – our civilisation was born here, perhaps as long ago as 10,000 years. We all owe everything to these people. And although we constantly search for Plato’s fabled city of Atlantis, here we have one that is right in front of our eyes. Somehow we seem to be blind to what is right in front of us. No, Mohenjo Daro, nor Harappa, are Atlantis, but they are so old that they date to a similar time period. So, surely, the Indus Valley civilisation is already proof of the existence of Atlantis.
