Published: Aug. 7, 2021, 3:01 a.m.

b'(Lucy) Mohenjo Daro was a vast metropolis, with elaborate urban infrastructure\\u2026 and largely mysterious urban organization. It was a center of the Indus Valley civilization. Located in what is now Pakistan and northwestern India, the cities of this civilization covered territory roughly the size of western Europe. Because its language still hasn\\u2019t been deciphered by modern scholars, there\\u2019s still a lot we don\\u2019t know about it. But this hasn\\u2019t stopped modern scholars, writers, politicians, and artists from engaging with and fantasizing about it. This episode looks at what history can tell us about the art and culture \\u2014 and water management \\u2014 of this ancient civilization.\\n\\xa0\\nWe are now on\\xa0Youtube with accessible captions\\xa0checked by members of our team!\\nAnd you can find out how to support us through our\\xa0FH Patreon to help keep our content open access!'
