4,500-Year-Old Mohenjo-daro Site Risks Losing UNESCO Heritage Status Over Floods in Pakistan - Media

The ruins of the Mohenjo-daro civilization's settlement in Pakistan were discovered in 1922 by Rakhal Das Banerjee. The civilization mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the second millennium BC (2000 BC to 1001 BC); it is believed one of the main reasons for the disappearance was catastrophic climate change.
