Record rainfall has damaged several ancient walls at the 5,000-year-old Mohenjo-daro archaeological site in Pakistan’s southern Sindh province, the curator of the ruins said on September 6, 2022. Discovered in 1922, the historic city was built mostly with baked bricks and is featured in Unesco’s list of World Heritage sites.

Bro what is wrong with some people. I understand that there are some tensions between Pakistan and India but that doesn't mean that we have to bully each other over such things. Sure, Pakistan has not taken care of it YET but hopefully they will. There are many more things the government has to focus on like the loss of housing for so many people. I think right now we should focus on the present and when that has been taken care of, we can focus on the past. Seriously no one asked for clarification on who built it or why it's not being taken care of right now so just be patient.

Most people didn't see the megafloods coming, and even if they did, they are more concerned with spending money to help people, homes and businesses affected by the floods. Damage to cultural heritage may seem like a huge issue, but Pakistan is a country with hundreds of larger issues, and often times only the top few get the most attention. This a country where the military is rich, the government is bankrupt and most of the people are poor, so it's unlikely to happen. Instead of building hangars to protect historical sites, they build hangars for air bases. Instead of making drinking water accessible, generals are busy playing on lush golf courses. Instead of countering external threats, the military is busy pitting our own people against each other.
