The Mystery of Dholavira
#Thread
A lot remains untold about Dholavira, 5000 years old city..Remarkably well planned with spacious dwelling and sophisticated water harvesting system. Our Ancients were well capable of planning the city with great amenities

The studies further show that the city was divided into 3 parts and each part had an underground water tank which further connected to the water channels. And this was the only reason why Dholavirians not only thrived but harvested
Trade flourished during Dholavirian times and they were experts terracotta pottery, beads, gold and copper ornaments, animal figurines, tools, urns, and vessels. The most interesting aspect of Dholavira is the inscriptions, mainly, ten large signs that are the
the first ever evidence of a written Signboard. The mystery of the oldest Signboard in the world or what it suggests still remains unsolved. But despite having such brilliant techniques the city also faced its collapse. Some theories suggest that it was due to climate change
caused by tectonic movements that destroyed this beautiful town.

Did the place turn dryer day by day and the residents were left with no other choice than to move??

Where did those Dholavirians move into...
A question that remains unanswered. Sadly our tourism is so badly sold or explored
