138 PK - Archaeological Ruins at Moenjodaro (1980)

Brief Description

"The ruins of the huge city of Moenjodaro – built entirely of unbaked brick in the 3rd millennium B.C. – lie in the Indus valley. The acropolis, set on high embankments, the ramparts, and the lower town, which is laid out according to strict rules, provide evidence of an early system of town planning."

摩亨佐达罗考古遗迹

"这座规模宏大的城市坐落在印度河河谷中,它建于公元前3000年,建筑材料完全是毛坯砖。此地包括一座卫城,建在巨大的路基上,周围建有壁垒,这座底矮的城市遵循着严格的标准,从这些遗迹中我们可以看出早期城市规划的雏形。"
