Mohenjo Daro's Radical Experiment in Equality The discovery of Mohenjo daro, the largest city of the Indus civilization, has provided evidence that this 4,000 year old metropolis defied conventional wisdom about the relationship between wealth and power.
Researchers at the University of York have unearthed findings that suggest Mohenjo daro was a bastion of equality in an era when monarchies and elite classes were the norm.
Historians often argue that as societies grow and prosper, inequality increases. However, this assumption is challenged by Mohenjo daro's story.
