UNESCO - Archaeological Ruins At Moenjodaro, Pakistan

The Archaeological Ruins at Moenjodaro are the best preserved urban settlement in South Asia dating back to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, and exercised a considerable influence on the subsequent development of urbanization. The archaeological ruins are located on the right bank of the Indus River, 510 km north-east from Karachi - representing the metropolis of Indus civilization, which flourished between 2,500-1,500 BC in the Indus valley and is one of the world’s three great ancient civilizations.

The discovery of Moenjodaro in 1922 revealed evidence of the customs, art, religion and administrative abilities of its inhabitants. The well planned city mostly built with baked bricks and having public baths; a college of priests; an elaborate drainage system; wells, soak pits for disposal of sewage, and a large granary.

On the photo, as written on the back of the postcard, is a well - private wells were rebuilt over many generations to serve the needs of a large household or neighborhood. This well in DK G area at Mohenjo-daro stands like a chimney because all of the surrounding earth has been removed by excavation. Many thanks to Bilal :)

Old Murree Brewery, Pakistan

This was my first postcard from Pakistan - not properly stamped, but still interesting :) Murree Brewery is the maker of Pakistan's beer brand, Murree Beer. The Murree Brewery Company Ltd. was established in 1860 to meet the beer requirements of British personnel at Ghora Gali near the resort place of Murree- but its products are now only legally available in Pakistan owing to a prohibition on the exportation of alcohol from Pakistan.

Bhong Mosque, Pakistan

Another new country in my collection - actually it is not the first time that, after a long wait, i receive two postcards from a missing country about the same time, as it happened with Pakistan last winter. Cannot complain eh :)

The postcard shows  the Bhong Masjid in Southern Punjab, designed and constructed over a period of nearly 50 years (1932–1982) and winning the Aga Khan Award For Architecture in 1986. The mosque's design is a mix of Islamic styles, using rare and traditional materials such as ivory, teak, and onyx.

Many thanks to Hasnain and his use of diverse stamps :))
