Welcome to the Indus River ValleyEst 3000 BC - 2800 BC
Mohenjo Daro
Housing in the Indus River Valley was a big deal, because shelter is necessary. The houses were made of mud bricks that were dried in a kiln or under the sun. The roads in Mohenjo-Daro were layed out in a grid, such as modern cities.
Shower Room
Instead of showers, Indus people would stand in a brick tray or tub and pour water on themselves from a jar.
Drain pipes would then carry the excess water to the sewer.
