Mohenjo-daro, which means in Sindi "The Place of the Dead," consists of one very large mound, roughly thirteen hundred yards long from north to south, and about six hundred and seventy yards wide, with smaller mounds to the north and east. About two hundred yards away to the west rises another mound, not so large as the first, but loftier, measuring about four hundred and forty yards from north to south by three hundred and thirty yards from east to west, and having a number of hillocks on its northern, southern and north-western sides. It is uncertain whether these two large mounds were originally one, for no deep digging has as yet been done in the gap.
