Detailed explanation-1: -From the city’s ruins, we can see that the city was carefully planned. To the west, the citadel rose up on a platform of mud and brick. Below the citadel, nine streets divided the lower city into blocks, like those of a modern city. The streets were lined with houses and workshops made of mud bricks.
