The 4500 year old water drainage system of Mohenjo-Daro is still functioning today. (Pakistan)

 

 Director General of Antiquities and Archeology Manzoor Ahmad said that he realized this during the mid-August rains when the protective wall outside the stupa at Mohenjo-Daro collapsed after 1,400 mm of rain fell.  So it fell, but they did not see the water standing anywhere.  There is no water here.  We reached here while running and found that the water has flowed out of this 4500-year-old drain.  There was no intervention of my team in extracting water from this place, it happened automatically.  Yes, it must have happened that when the water left here, it went out and collected in a compound built a few years ago, which took us three weeks to remove.

 

 According to Manzoor Ahmed, very little excavation has been done at Mohenjo-Daro since 1922, 90% remains.  Many secrets related to the ancient civilization are still buried under this earth.
