One long street in that city, whose course has been traced for over half a mile, travels in a straight line from north to south and divides the largest mound into two parts. It must have been a most important thoroughfare, for in places it is over thirty-three feet wide, and could easily have accommodated several lines of wheeled traffic, the cart and chariot being in those days usual methods of transport (Pl. D, a). - [Previous: c5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.7) - [Next: c5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.9) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Mohenjo-daro](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.mohenjo-daro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.8) · Pramāṇa
