This 4,000-year-old city defied the rules of history
✦AI Summary
New archaeological research indicates that the ancient Indus civilization city of Mohenjo-daro became more socially equal as it grew. Unlike other ancient societies that saw wealth concentrate among elites, Mohenjo-daro focused on public infrastructure and equitable resource distribution.
New research suggests that Mohenjo-daro followed a very different path from many other early cities. As the 4,000-year-old urban center became larger, more productive, and more successful, its society appears to have grown more equal rather than less.
