Some scholars, such as R L Rex, S Wilpat, etc. It has been explained from the perspective of geology and ecology, and it is considered that the "Death Hill Event" may be due to the diversion of riverbed, river flooding, earthquake and the resulting floods in ancient India. The great flood destroyed the ancient city on the island in the middle of the river, and the residents in the city were drowned at the same time.

However, some scholars do not agree with the above statement. They think that if it is really because of the devastating flood, the bodies of the residents in the city will drift away with the flood, so many skeletons will not be preserved in the city. Archaeologists have not found any evidence of catastrophic floods in the ruins of this ancient city.

Moreover, geographically, Mohenjo's heroes are located in the lower reaches of the Indus River. It is unlikely that the downstream diversion will affect the middle and upper reaches. Harappa is located in the upper reaches of the Indus River. Therefore, this hypothesis faces the same problem as the "flying saucer theory", that is, although it can well explain the destruction of Mohenjo's legal heroes, it cannot explain the overall destruction of indus valley civilization.

According to "several bones were found in the well on the street ... some limbs were struggling painfully ...", it seems impossible from this angle.

If it is a sudden flood, how can you leave the bones on the street? According to common sense, outdoor bones should be washed downstream and should not be left in the street.

2, the spread of the plague:

Some scholars speculate that it may be because of an acute infectious disease in ancient times that led to the death of residents in the city. However, this statement also has its loopholes, because no matter how serious the infectious disease is, it is impossible for the people of the city to die almost at the same time on the same day.

Judging from the distribution of ruins and bones, it seems that someone was walking in the street or working in the house at that time and did not suffer from illness. After careful study, paleontologists and medical scientists also denied the statement that the spread of diseases led to death.

Introduction:

Mohenjo-the hero of the legal world is one of the earliest ancient cities in the world and is known as the metropolis of ancient Indian valley civilization. Other ancient civilizations of this period include ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Crete.

Mohenjo's archaeological site is located in Lacana County, Sindh Province in southern Pakistan, near the right bank of the Indus River. 1980 UNESCO listed the archaeological site of Yinghao in Mohenjo as a cultural heritage in the World Heritage List.

Today, the earliest civilization in Pakistan developed in the fertile Indus Valley. Around 2500 BC, big cities appeared here, one of which was Mohenjo, a hero in the legal field.
