Naukot Fort the historical place of sindh

Naukot Fort

Some 63km south of Mirpur Khas, Naukot town lies at the edge of the desert. Another 3km on the road to Mithi an awe-inspiring fort attracts the eye in the wilderness. It is said to have been constructed by Mir Karam Ali Khan in 1814 to consolidate his power in the desert and to subdue the Than and make effective and forceful arrangements to collect dhal, revenue.

The fort is built of burnt-bricks in mud mortar and measures about 1 13m in length and 98m in width. Another squarish construction on the southern side of the fort, measuring 15m x 13m has in it the only entrance and narrow access to the interior of the fort. All the walls and bastions give tapering look. The narrow entrance is approached through ~a crooked passage formed by two heavy and semi-circular bastions. The bastion close to the doorway, and making a part of the squarish construction, is about 9.5m high with a diameter of about 42m at the base.

The arched entrance is around 7m in height and about 4m in width. The approach to the interior of the fort is through causeway type hall and room, which make part of the squarish construction, itself a fortress. The fort has nine semi-circular bastions, two of them guarding the main entrance, four at the corners and one each in the middle of the northern, southern and western walls. A 4m wide wall runs on the four sides of the fort. It has two burnt-brick stairs to climb the wall top, from the interior of the fort.

Inside the fort there are a few remains of rooms etc., which may go to suggest that these were the residential quarters. A small construction like a dungeon could have been the barood khana, or the place to store ammunition. The water seems to have been easily accessible by digging wells inside the fort. Even now a hand-pump serves the visitors well.

Historical Place Mohen Jo Daro

Mohen Jo Daro

5000 years old ancient site of Mohenjo-Daro near the city of Larkana district of Sindh province of Pakistan, The city was one of the most developed cities in South Asia, which was discovered in 1922.Mohenjo-daro was a flourishing town on the bank of the Indus River, built before 2600 BCE; Mohenjo-daro was very well planned city. Its original purpose was to serve as a major trading spot. The local area was used for farming. Mohenjo-daro is a remarkable construction, considering its antiquity. It has a planned layout based on a grid of streets, with structures constructed of bricks of baked mud and burned wood. At its height the city probably had around 35,000-40,000 residents. It had an advanced drainage system, a variety of buildings up to three stories high, and an elaborate bath area. Being an agricultural city, it also featured a large well, granary, and central marketplace. Perhaps most unexpected, it even had a building with an underground furnace (hypocaust), possibly for heated bathing. Another important unit discovered at Mohenjo-daro is the granary that is located in the southwest direction of the Great Bath. This complex was made of 27 mud-brick blocks with passages between them for smooth air-flow. Built integrally with it in the north was a loading platform made of burnt-bricks. In the southern sector of the western mound is the Assembly Hall. Almost square in shape, this hall has 20 rectangular brick piers arranged in rows of five each and dividing the hall from east to west into five aisles or corridors. This Indus valley city stands out amongst the other cities because of such non-residential buildings that also include the collegiate building and the complex with eight bathrooms besides the residential complexes. Mohenjo-daro is also well known for its well-planned roads. In the eastern section of the city one main north-south street has been discovered. Excavations at the western edge of the HR area in 1964-65 revealed massive and solid mud-brick embankments with a series of at least 6 m high retaining walls of burnt-brick. This indicates the possibility of such surrounding walls around the entire periphery of the eastern mound. Besides these, drains made of burnt-bricks and covered with stone slabs or burnt-bricks are fairly common in this area as elsewhere in the excavated parts of the city. Interestingly, two brick-built cress-pits in the First Street had a connecting brick drain between them to carry the surplus water of the northern pit to the southern one, which had in addition a series of brick-steps on one side so that somebody could go down and clean it. This regular cleaning arrangement of drains (general width 23 cm and depth 45-60 cm) is also clear from the little deposits of sand found along them. A row of sixteen houses at this site throws ample light on the kinds of houses that were built in those days. These houses have single rooms in front and one or two smaller rooms at the back. The latter were probably used as shops or workingmen’s quarters. The houses at Mohenjodaro are standardized. Apart from these several artifacts have been excavated from this ancient site. The Dancing Girl is a bronze statue that was discovered at Mohenjodaro. This statue speaks volumes about the artistry of the bygone days. Several statues like that of the `Priest King also suggest a lot about the appearance of the Indus Valley people.

Mohenjo-Daro was successively destroyed and rebuilt at least seven times. Each time, the new cities were built directly on top of the old ones. Flooding by the Indus is thought to have been the cause of destruction.
