What were the achievements of Mohenjo-Daro?

It is
probably best not to talk about Mohenjo-Daro specifically, but the larger Indus Valley
civilization of which it was an example. Archaeological finds at Mohenjo-Daro indicate that it
had a highly organized, though not necessarily stratified society that had a bureaucratic
mechanism for exacting grain tributes from area peoples. The buildings at Mohenjo-Daro, and its
contemporary sites throughout the region, show remarkable precision in brick cutting and
architecture. They also seem to have a high degree of division of labor, extensive trade
relations with neighboring peoples, precise systems of weights and measures, and some kind of
writing and numeric systems. All of these are hallmarks of an advanced
civilization.
