CW: Photo GeoLocation Project
72% complete. Sitting on the roof of a bus, 16 kilometres from Larkana in Pakistan, returning from a couple of days exploring Mohenjo-daro. 1 Nov 2007. Locations in this leg are very vague, and I may well have pinned the wrong spot, but it's the best I can do. There is no StreetView to help. I could well have misread the road sign; it could be 12 km to Larkana.
But I enjoyed the ride!

"A century ago, when the ancient ruins of the lost city of Mohenjo-Daro were rediscovered, archaeologists hadn’t anticipated that their discovery would reveal evidence of a thriving hub of the ancient world, which had remained hidden for nearly 3,700 years.
(. . .)
Part of what made Mohenjo-Daro so fascinating was its age: the city, eventually revealed to have been among the most expansive settlements ever seen during the time of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, was also one of the oldest major cities in the region, with an estimated age of around 4,500 years.

(. . .)
Mohenjo-Daro has captivated archaeologists since its discovery due in part to the remarkable level of sophistication exhibited by its ancient builders.
From its structural elements, which, in many ways, resemble urban planning for modern cities, to its remarkably advanced water infrastructure, which includes sewers, baths, and wells, many elements of Mohenjo-Daro set it apart from other cities of its era."

Ancient Hindu texts describe catastrophic weapons, and mysterious desert glass formations require extreme heat. While some speculate ancient nuclear war, scientists favor meteorite airbursts. The debate remains unresolved.

Mohenjo Daro: a flawless 5,000-year-old city with perfect sewers, no kings, and 44 skeletons scattered in the streets.
For decades people swore it was wiped out in an ancient nuclear explosion.
Others blamed bloodthirsty Aryan invaders.
The truth is far stranger… and scarier.

Nothing easy about this one
I'm sitting in a semi-dark room, the electricity has just cut out, and there's a slight chill in the air. I love being in MohenjoDaro (Sindh, Pakistan) in December. It's cold at night and it's hot during the day, unlike the summer, where there is nowhere to

#mohenjodaro review:
The plot kind of falls apart half way through, but the visuals are still fun even when they make no sense.
This is not a great movie. Or even a good movie. But it’s got silly hats, and alligator wrestling, and do we really need more than that from a history film?
