Detailed explanation-1: -Mohenjo Daro, or “Mound of the Dead” is an ancient Indus Valley Civilization city that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BCE. The site was discovered in the 1920s and lies in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: During the archaeological investigations, archaeologists discovered several human bones and other skeletal remains on this mound. To refer to it as the “Mound of Dead, ‘’ they gave it the names Mohen which means Mound, and jodaro which means of the Dead.
Detailed explanation-3: -The meaning of Lothal (a combination of Loth and (s) thal) in Gujarati is “the mound of the dead". This is not unusual, as the name of the city of Mohenjo-daro in Sindhi translates to the same. People in villages neighbouring to Lothal had known of the presence of an ancient town and human remains.
