Moen Jo dare is the site of the great Indus civilization which flourished as the
earliest Urban culture in 3000 - 1700 BC. We have a large No. of detailed sites well laid
by the expert archeologists. Indus civilization was probably the most advanced urban
culture in the past , From the sites we can see the complete planning of the city, a
separate area for Administration/ state, a rich residential area, Industrial area and an
area for poor or workers. All the streets present an excellent grid system and were
maintained with covered drainage , Dustbins and Market places. It is also proved that they
had binary system of weights. The state was very strict. We don't see any difference in
weights found from different sites. Taxes were collected in form of wheat, Barley 0r same,
and mud pots were sealed to prove the clearance of dues. The used a language with 300
Different semipictographic characters, which are not read yet. Further details can be read
or had from us at any time.
