Latest Discovery City Wall at Mohenjo-daro – A Major Breakthrough!

We are excited to share an important new discovery from the ongoing Pak–US Joint Archaeological Mission Collaborated by Culture, Tourism, Antiquities and Archives Department Government of Sindh and Sindh Exploration and adventure Society SEAS Pakistan at Mohenjo-daro, Under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Mark Kenoyer Asma Ibrahim including Team members Ali Lashari Field Director Faraz Ali , Danish A Sheikh Mehar Khan Abid Hussain Ansari Zahid Hussain Detho Nawazish Ali , Abid Ali Mahar
Our team has unearthed a mudbrick city wall surrounding the main city of Mohenjo-daro, which was previously reported by Sir Mortimer Wheeler (1950–51) as a large mudbrick protective Bund against the Indus River. Based on new excavations and stratigraphic evidence, we now interpret this structure as a city wall, likely constructed to regulate trade, manage access, and serve broader administrative and urban planning purposes.
This discovery offers fresh insight into the urban organization, planning strategies, and socio-economic control systems of the Indus Valley Civilization and represents a significant step forward in understanding one of the world’s earliest cities.
