| | This might not have been such a bad thing for, as Anwar Pirzado, a distinguished journalist of Pakistan who was part of the 1964 Pennsylvania University Expedition, noted in 2002, most of the exposed relics usually had crumbled to dust or had simply vanished. | | | Perhaps it is because of this that neither myths nor legends grew around them. | | | When some of the ancient bricks of Mohenjodaro were found being carted away by contractors to bolster up a new railroad the British were installing, naturally there was no hue and cry. |

| | There is some evidence that the city of Mohenjodaro was destroyed by repeated flooding. | | | Certainly there were invasions by people known as Aryans who came from the area of what is now Syria and Iran, but it seems that the Indus valley civilisation may already have been in decline before the arrival of the Aryans. | | | However, the literature of the Aryans does refer to frequent conflict and destruction of cities, so we may suppose there was fighting between them and the Indus valley dwellers and some of their cities may have been destroyed in this way. |
