Visit Mohenjo-Daro without stepping out of your home. Beautiful slideshow by Jonathan Kenoyer.

Mohenjo Daro, or "Mound of the Dead" is an ancient Indus Valley Civilization city that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BCE. It was one of the first world and ancient Indian cities. The site was discovered in the 1920s and lies in Pakistan's Sindh province. Only a handful of archaeologists have excavated here, described in the introduction and illustrated essay Mohenjodaro: An Ancient Indus Valley Metropolis.

These 103 indexed images were taken over 30 years. Most have not been published before.
