Mohenjo-daro
ASTER VNIR Level 1B

Mohenjo-daro is the largest archaeological ruins of the urban culture in the Indus civilization, one of the four major ancient civilizations in the world. It was a city located in the southern part of Pakistan in the Sindh Province, on the right bank of the Indus River. The city was built under orderly urban planning with planned city streets and blocks laid out in a grid pattern, complete with an extensive drainage system. Those fine details regrettably are reduced too small to be detected in the ASTER data.

Many bodies of the dead were discovered from the ruins. However, they were not found concentrated in one location, rather, the bodies were excavated from the sites where they had been abandoned dead. Mohenjo-daro means "mound of the dead", which reflects the scene of the ancient times.
