Open topic

Topics citing it and claims using it

Supporting citation for public claim

Regional environmental and archaeological sources support a multicausal Harappan transformation, but they do not establish one precise local abandonment sequence for Mohenjo-Daro.

Answer / theory: Likely part of broader Indus deurbanization involving environmental, river, economic, and social pressures. What supports it: Site stratigraphy, environmental research, and regional Late Harappan transformation. What is weak or disputed: Exact local sequence and weighting of causes. Evidence level: Mixed Evidence.
