Скачать или смотреть How Mohenjo-daro Beat the Floods That Sank Modern Pakistan | This 4,500-Year-Old City Still Amazes

Modern cities drowned — but a 4,500-year-old one stayed dry. Here’s why Mohenjo-daro still outperforms us today.

When record-breaking floods hit Pakistan in 2022, millions were displaced and entire towns submerged. Yet one ancient city — Mohenjo-daro — remained remarkably dry. It wasn’t luck. It was brilliant urban planning and a drainage system engineered over 4,500 years ago that still functions better than many modern systems today.

In this episode of Beyond 5000, we explore:

The science behind Mohenjo-daro’s flood-proof street grid

How private homes had connected drainage to large-scale public systems

Why their precisely cut bricks and sloped drains were engineering masterpieces

The role of the Great Bath and sacred water management

And how this ancient city outlasted 21st-century infrastructure failures

UNESCO reports confirm: this Indus Valley Civilization marvel was not just well-built — it was built to last. Discover how thoughtful design, daily maintenance, and reverence for water helped create one of history’s most sustainable cities.
