This Bronze Age fortified city was part of the Indus Valley Civilization. The city, dating to 2600 BC, had a population up to 23,500. Along with Mohenjo-daro to the south, Harappa was one of the largest cities on earth.
The site was largely destroyed under the British Raj, when bricks from the ruins were reused building the Lahore-Multan Railroad.
Note: Bones kill myth of happy Harappa - Study shows gender discrimination, violence. See comment.
