Discovery of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro

In 1922, archeologist Howard Carter stunned the world by discovering King Tut’s tomb in Egypt.

Two years later, his contemporary John Marshall published the results of his excavations of the Indus Valley. 

Marshall’s findings reconstructed the timeline of urban civilization in South Asia, revealing cities with overlapping, sophisticated planning and sanitation systems.

Although it lacked golden artifacts, the discovery demonstrated that ancient South Asia was as advanced and complex as Egypt.
