The site was partially excavated between 2019-2020 - until the global lockdown stopped the ongoing work
Dozens of Early Harappan burials have been documented so far - a cemetery dating back to over 5000 years ago!

...the historic distribution of common waters undisturbed.
India's action was therefore in flagrant disregard not only of international law n morality, but of her solemn commitments with Pakistan and a gross violation of this country's historical rights over common waters.

The beauty of mitochondrial DNA, also called maternal DNA since it is derived from mother alone. The sequence of mt DNA stays the same over generations, and thus is a useful tool for looking at maternal ancestry. DNA is an alphabet soup made up of 4 letters - A,G,C,T

The Indus Valley Civilization is known to be one of the greatest ancient civilizations. However, why is it considered so great? What makes them an exceptional set of people?
Firstly, this civilization was great because of their innovations in art and architecture.

Alexander’s Indian Conquest: Why He Returned Without Conquest? #alexanderthegreat #hidispus #indus #macedonia
Alexander the great was one of the greatest emperors the world has seen. He conquered world’s biggest armies, kingdoms and rules. He was also the role model for many great conquerors and emperors that came after him including for Julius Caesar.
In fact, it is said that Julius Caesar wept in front of the statue of the Macedonian emperor, Alexander, and when asked for the reason he said at my age of 32 years, Alexander had conquered the whole world, while I am yet to do anything noteworthy.

Potter is an elected official who has access to millions of dollars - but as the @MontereyHerald reported - when @JoeLivernois & @Calkins_Royal were in charge - he wasn’t a great businessman.
But LH set up a trust to help him get his Casa in the CCBTS. Easy.
