Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One seal from Mohenjo-daro shows a half-human, half-buffalo monster attacking a tiger. This may be a reference to the Sumerian myth of a monster created by Aruru-the Sumerian earth and fertility goddess-to fight Gilgamesh, the hero of an ancient Mesopotamian epic poem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Harappa and Mohenjo-daro can be considered as two of the greatest civilizations of the Indus valley between which a key difference can be identified in terms of the geographical positioning. While the site of Mohenjo-daro is located in the Punjab region, Harappa is located in the Sindh province.
