Currently Playing: How they lit streets 5,000 years ago

Imagine walking through a city that feels like a prehistoric version of Pompeii. This place predates the famous Italian site by thousands of years, yet so much of its original structure remains standing today. Welcome to Mohenjo-daro in Sindh, Pakistan. Walking these ancient paths, it is incredible to think about how civilization functioned long before the grid. Without electricity or solar power, the solution was ingenious yet simple. Residents relied on oil lamps placed strategically throughout the city to banish the darkness and light up the streets. It is a humbling reminder of human innovation.
