Built around 2600 BCE, it was one of the largest settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization, and one of the world&#8217;s earliest major urban settlements, contemporaneous with the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Crete.<\/p>\n<p>The site was abandoned in the 19th century BCE, and was not rediscovered until 1922. Excavations have revealed a well-planned city with a grid pattern of streets, public buildings, and houses. The city was also home to a number of large public baths, which are some of the earliest known examples of public sanitation.<\/p>\n<p>Mohenjo-daro is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Option A: 2500 BC is too early. The Indus Valley Civilization is thought to have emerged around 2600 BCE.<\/p>\n<p>Option B: 2500-2000 BC is too broad. The Indus Valley Civilization lasted for over 1000 years, so it is impossible to say exactly when Mohenjo-daro was built within this time period.<\/p>\n<p>Option C: 2300 BC is the correct answer. Mohenjo-daro is thought to have been built around 2300 BCE.<\/p>\n<p>Option D: 2200 BC is too late. The Indus Valley Civilization began to decline around 1900 BCE, so it is unlikely that Mohenjo-daro was built after this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;2500 BC&#8221;
