Ancient Indian Sub-Continent
Mohenjo
and Daro are twin cities that are situated near the indus
river in India. These two cities have been virtually unkown in modern
times due to the limite excavations there. The cities are as old
as those of Mesopotamia (some scholars say they may be even older).
The level of sophistication in construction and surveying techniques baffle
archaeologist today. The civilization that built these cities was
very advanced and must have had a strong central government in order to
organize such professional and pre-planned building projects. The
ruins to the left look suprisingly like the ruins of ancient Sumeria and
ancient Palestine. They even look similar to Anasazi ruins found
in America. This historian finds it fascinating that even as these
cities reside on different continents, they look identical in nature.
The adaptation to similar surroundings is phenomenal.
