1. Government

Evidence
1. Government explanation
This artifact shows evidence for
government in Mohenjodaro
because it shows a picture of the
excavation of the ruins of
Mohenjodaro. The ruins might not
show it but after the excavation of
this city, there was no central seat
for a king or a queen. This must
mean that the people of
Mohenjodaro must have preferred
modesty, order and cleanliness.
