Mohenjo Daro
sat beneath the soil for thousands of years, a preserved relic of the ancient Indus Valley civilization. But excavation exposed the city to elements, and now, says the Telegraph, the ruins may have as little as 20 years left.
Evidences was published some 30 years ago suggesting that Mohenjo-daro,
the southernmost of the two major cities of the Harappans, was destroyed by armed invaders and that the hapless victims–including a large percentage of women and children–were massacred on the spot. 
The excavators of Mohenjo-daro were content at least at first to put the blame for the “massacres” on several disassociated causes and incidents. The “massacre” idea immediately ignited and has been used as a torch up to the present day by some historians, linguists, and archaeologists as visible, awful proof of the invasion of the subcontinent by the Aryan
. It provided a seemingly pat answer to one of the most vexing questions in South Asian history. The arrival into northern India of the Aryans the eastern branch of the vast Indo-European language family are heralded the beginning of the historical era in South Asia. The social and religious life of the times is described in detail in the hymns of the Sanskrit Veda, the earliest book known in India.
seals and weights from the remains of the layout presuppose the presence of a tightly standardized trade system. The construction made of baked bricks and the artifacts made of ivory, lapis, carnelian and gold beads are a proof of a prosperous and advanced civilization
