The discovery in the 1920s of the ancient cities of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in Pakistan provided insight into the existence of a civilization in the Indus Valley more than 4,000 years ago, competing with those known in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Later, Mohenjo-Daro was overgrown with a significant layer of secrecy, since the terrible death of the inhabitants indicated the use of nuclear weapons.
The strange riddle of Mohenjo-Daro still holds attention, slowly revealing the secrets of the past. The ancient cities demonstrated an exceptionally high level of civil planning and population comfort. The houses were equipped with brick bathrooms and many had toilets.
The wastewater was diverted into well-built brick sewer pipes that ran along the center of streets covered with bricks or stone slabs. Pools and wells made of wedge-shaped bricks contained the public supply of drinking water.
Mohenjo Daro is also famous for its large pool on a high hill (citadel) overlooking the residential area of the city. Constructed from layers of carefully fitted bricks, plaster mortar and waterproof bitumen, this pool is believed to have been used for ritual ablutions. Although, of course, we will never know the whole truth about the ancient culture and the city.
However, unlike the well-stocked houses and clean streets, some levels in Mohenjo-Daro contained squalid homemade dwellings. It has a casual mix of residential and industrial activities. It was in this area that more than 40 skeletons were found scattered along the streets (some were in houses).
Paul Bahn (2002) describes the scene
In one area of the city, the skeletons of two people were found desperately trying to crawl up the stairs leading from the room to the street. People were obviously crawling with their last strength, the remains of the other two lay next to each other. Elsewhere, the "strangely broken" and incomplete remains of nine people were found.

In an alley between two houses, six more skeletons were found covered with earth. Numerous skeletons have been found under layers of debris, or lying in broken bodies in the streets, revealing gruesome views of the agony of death.

SLAUGHTER IN MOHENJO-DARO
The remains of people led the archaeologists of that time to the conclusion of the terrible death of the townspeople from the violence inherent in military operations. Mortimer Wheeler, who worked in Mohenjo-Daro in the 1950s, justified the deaths as victims of a terrible massacre.
He suggested that the Indus civilization, whose demise is inexplicable, met an armed invasion of Indo-Aryans, aggressors from the northwest, who are believed to have settled in India in the second millennium BC.
Wheeler saw in the remains of the last defenders left to fight for the city, and was so convincing that the theory became the accepted version of the fate of the Indus civilization. However, many of his statements do not add up to a single picture, many researchers were convinced closer to our time.
There was no evidence of the last battle of the "defenders of the city" as no weapons were found. And the remains themselves did not contain evidence of war injuries. Some archaeologists have suggested that the influx of Indo-Aryan people occurred after the decline of the Indus civilization. While others doubted that the Indo-Aryan invasion of the subcontinent had occurred at all.
FLOOD AND DISEASES OF MOHENJO-DARO
An alternative theory was put forward, according to which the city suffered extensive flooding and people died as a result of diseases such as cholera. Recent studies have shown strong evidence of flooding in Mohenjo-Daro in the form of a mass of silt layers.
The Indus River was inclined to change its course, and through the centuries it moved gradually to the east, periodically invading the urban area with floods. Indeed, the huge brick platforms on which the city was built and the fortifications around it seemed to be designed to protect against flooding.
Conditions would be ideal for the spread of waterborne diseases, especially cholera, although cholera epidemics cannot be proven. The conclusion drawn by many mainstream archaeologists is that the Mohenjo-Daro "massacres" were victims of natural flood tragedy and fatal disease, not human aggression.
But there are also many holes in this conclusion - why are the remains of people in broken positions, frozen at the very moment of death? It looks like they were suddenly startled, as if the inhabitants of the city were taken by surprise. It is logical to assume that if people died from the disease, their bodies would be properly buried, and not found scattered throughout the city.
MOHENJO-DARO, PROOF OF NUCLEAR WAR?
There are a large number of "alternative archaeologists" and researchers who did not stop at the proposed theories. These versions do not satisfactorily explain the appearance of the skeletal remains, so many looked for other explanations.
One such archaeologist is David Davenport, who spent 12 years studying ancient Hindu stories and evidence at the site where the great city once stood.
In his book "Atomic Destruction" in 2000 BC. era, he brings amazing results: objects found on site were fused, having experienced temperatures up to 1500 C, after which there was a cooling.
Inside the city itself is the "epicenter of the explosion" up to a hundred meters in diameter, within which everything was crystallized, melted and fused into glazed fragments. Farther from the center, the bricks melted on one side, pointing towards the center of the explosion.
A. Gorbovsky, in his book "Mysteries of Ancient History", reported on skeletons in this area with a radioactivity level of about 50 times higher than natural radiation. Davenport argued that what was discovered at Mohenjo-Daro exactly matched the aftermath of a nuclear strike on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Davenport's theory was met with great interest from the scientific community, including criticism. Renowned expert William Sturm said: The melting of bricks in Mohenjo-Daro could not have been caused by fire from fires. Professor Antonio Castellani, a space engineer in Rome, remarked: “Perhaps what happened at Mohenjo Daro was not a natural occurrence.
Since there is no indication of a volcanic eruption in Mohenjo-Daro, the proposed answer to the events that happened here is to irradiate the ancient city with an atomic explosion.
True, this leads us to the impossibility of ignoring the conclusion: some ancient civilization possessed atomic technologies. Or the city has become a "witness" of the war of the gods, about which so much is mentioned in ancient mythology.
If Mohenjo-Daro was really destroyed by nuclear technology, then who created this terrible weapon and used it? If not, what could have generated enough heat to melt stones and bricks and glaze? Also, what can explain the high level of radioactive traces in this area?
The inhabitants of the city did not just die in an instant: some of the skeletons on the street lay with their hands closed, as if they were hiding their eyes from the intolerably bright light. And we don't have a good explanation for that. It may be time to stop blindly accepting the view of the past from mainstream science and start digging a little deeper into history.
