Source A: A Visit to Mohenjo-Daro
"When I visited Mohenjo-Daro, I was struck by the sophistication of the city’s layout. The streets were laid out in a grid pattern, with many houses built from baked bricks. I saw large public baths and a complex drainage system, which shows the importance of hygiene. The people seemed organized and peaceful, engaged in trade and daily chores. The city’s artifacts suggest they had a written language and a thriving economy. The planning of Mohenjo-Daro indicates a highly advanced society for its time."* Provenance: Jane Doe, 1925, travel report written after her archaeological expedition.
