The Citadel of Mohenjo-daro
“Indus floodplain, c. 2200 BCE. Brick-paved streets line a grid baked under monsoon sun. Foreground shows traders haggling over carnelian beads beside the Great Bath; midground reveals women drawing water from terracotta wells and oxcarts piled with cotton; granaries and a fortified citadel rise against the green wash of the river.”
