Hi Majid Abbasi im living in larkana city and when i was visit Moen Jo Daro i thinked that the culture of Moen jo daro is one of the best culture in all over the world in antiant times this civilization is more antiant in the history on historical places its about 2600 B.C
i had visited this place about 5 to 6 times but when i see there work which done by people of Moen jo Daro i think that if they are present nowadays im sure they will be the best and most powerfull people in the world in this time means

Hello/Bonjour/Bhaley karey Aayaa!!I am khalil and I belong to Larkana SIndh Pakistan.Moen Jo Daro is about 22 KM away from my native city.It is one of finest remains of the world and proof of the human greatness and history we all are proud of.It is window to our glorious past and hope for shining future.Mohenjo-daro is a remarkable construction, considering its antiquity. It has a planned layout based on a grid of streets, with structures constructed of bricks of baked mud, sun dried bricks and burned wood. At its height the city probably had around 35,000 residents. It had an advanced drainage system, a variety of buildings up to two stories high and an elaborate bath area. The bath area was very well built and had a layer of natural tar, to keep it from leaking, in center they had swimming pool. Being an agricultural city, it also featured a large well, granary, and central marketplace.

It also had a building with an underground furnace (hypocaust), possibly for heated bathing.
The city was divided into two parts, the Citadel and the Lower City. Most of the Lower City is yet uncovered, but the Citadel is known to have the public bath, a large residential structure designed to house 5,000 citizens and two large assembly halls.

I always get inspiration,visiting Moen jo daro but it is really heartening to note that It is NOT better preserved,even due to rain the upper part of tomb is destroyed and Government of Pakistan nneds to do more to preserve it, many other part of moen-jo-daro city are under severe condition and not much focused on it, during this Eid-ul-fitar 2006 some of motor bicycle boys ride on walls of city and other sensitive part which on virtue being destroyed soon.

We all need to join our hands to preserve the remains and The language of the Indus Civilization has yet to be deciphered by collective research.

Long Live Moen Jo Daro! Long Live Glorious and PEACEFUL World!

I did'nt go there ever.But as far as my knowledge is concerned.I have read hundreds of articles and watched different documentries about that ancient and well developed civilization of the subcontinent.I dreamt about it since I was a kid.But it is very shameful to know the fact that it was among those civilization who introduced the game of chess;furthermore,it exported cloth to ancient Egyptians through Indus river.Very few know about that.But this heritage of Pakistan is destroying.Do some thing;otherwise stop making people fool to tour that place.We are among those nations ,who don't deserve respect.Because we don't work hard.It is very sorry to say that we are damn lazy,we are too illetrate and we simply don't deserve something that special.

Amber Ejaz Alexander (Pakistan):
I visited the site with my college (Notre Dame Institute) and it was the most rememberable experience I had. Witnessing one of the most oldest archeological ruins was an experience words can not express. According to the time period the people seemed highly civilized and having enough knowledge of an orgnised urban structure. But there was no information provided to us about the medical facilities they used, neither any medical artifacts was seen in the museum. Allover not a place to be missed by tourist.
 
Peter Groot (Holland):
It was hot,dusty, and our guide didn't speak any English. So it were 2 lost days for us.
Luckely the motel was very nice!
