The two ancient Metropolises that found in West Punjab and in Sind by the two brothers- James and William Burton.
Archeologists states that two metropolises are Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Archeologists Says that two metropolises are nearly 5000- years-old.
Introduction:
The Harappan civilization, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization, flourished in the northwestern regions of South Asia from the 33rd to the 13th centuries BCE. This ancient civilization was notable for its well-planned cities, advanced drainage and sanitation systems, intricate pottery, and sophisticated craftsmanship.
Two of the most prominent cities of the Harappan civilization were Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Both cities showcase the remarkable urban planning and architectural achievements of this ancient culture. Harappa, located in present-day Pakistan, was one of the first cities of the Indus Valley Civilization to be discovered, giving the civilization its name. Mohenjo-daro, also in Pakistan, is considered to be one of the best-preserved and most extensive urban settlements of the ancient world.
The discovery of these two cities in the early 20th century revolutionized our understanding of ancient South Asia, revealing a sophisticated and complex civilization that predated many other ancient cultures. The Harappan civilization’s legacy continues to fascinate and intrigue archaeologists and historians alike, offering valuable insights into the early development of human civilization.
Now I would like explain about Archaeology. About what is Archaeology?. Who are this Archeologists?.
What’s Archaeology?
Scholars who have made a wisdom of digging up old spots in the form of mounds and remains to discover the history, everyday lives and occupations of our ancestors are called Archeologists.
Archeology is the work that made by the Archeologists. They Discover Objects that several hundred and thousand times of mortal progress. Excavation have brought to light a mass of objects. These includes tools and munitions, monuments and bones, trades and crafts of ancient people.
Archeologists are always tries to show the lives, tools, Things of our ancestors to us. The homes in which they lived, the tabernacles in which they worshipped and the setting in which they spent their lives. In short, archeologists have supplied accoutrements to chroniclers for a social and artistic history, the kind of history that could noway have been written before.
Discovery of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro
History always introduced unfortunately to us.
It always surprise us with a new content or Incidents.
Discoveries of great societies of the history have been made by accident. In the same way one of the accident is the discovery of the two ancient metropolises Harappa & Mohenjo-daro.
In 1856, two brothers named James & William Burton are laying out the railroad line form Karachi to Lahore.
They tried to get some bricks for their near mounds. This digging for bricks led to the discovery of two ancient metropolises Harappa in west punjab and Mohenjodaro in Sind. But its wasn’t until 70 ages latterly, with the labours of R.D. Banerji working under joe John Marshall andN.G. Majumdar, that the fact about these 5000- years-old metropolises were came to light.
To archeologists, further, we owe our knowledge of the civilization of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa in India, and of the Sumerians, the Babylonians, and the Assyrians in west Asia. Before the excavations were made, nothing indeed guessed that there had been a great civilization on the Mediterranean islet of Crete.
