Vague Myths About Moen-Jo-Daro: A Qualitative Research Study

Abstract

Mohenjo-Daro, also known as Moenjodaro, is a collection of monuments and artefacts found in southern Pakistan's northern Sindh region on the Indus River's right bank. Mohenjo-Daro is a town in the Larkana District of Sindh, Pakistan, located off the right (west) bank of the lower Indus River, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Sukkur on the level Indus tidal plain. One of the two major Indus civilization centers, Harappa, which is located 640 kilometers (400 miles) away in Pakistan's Punjab state, is still visible today. It was active from about 2500-1700 BCE. According to a myth, Mohenjo-Daro's name translates to "the mound of the dead." A thorough interview with a Mohenjo Daro tour guide was done in order to achieve the objective and historical perspective of the site. The interview and its contents were meticulously recorded and analyzed. Mohenjo-Daro was the second site of the Indus Valley Civilization that R.D. Banerjee found in 1922, and it is one of the earliest and largest metropolises in that civilization, according to analysis. The city was established around 2600 BC. At the same time as Mohenjo-Daro, ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greek civilizations all coexisted. Mohenjo Daro's town design consists of a citadel in the west and a lower city in the east. Furthermore, the findings suggested that a detailed context about the people of Mohenjo Daro should be added to the history curriculum because it is important for students to learn about inventions and their curiosity about creating something new for their civilization and to give them a sense of comfort at the time. To conserve the Mohenjo-Daro museum and archaeological site, stakeholders must meet their responsibilities
