Most Harappan cities had all of the following in common EXCEPT .?
Most Harappan cities had advanced urban planning, including well-organized streets, drainage systems, and standardized weights and measures. However, they did not share a uniform system of writing; while they had a script, it remains undeciphered, indicating a lack of a common written language across all cities.
What is unusual about the written language of the Harappan people?
The written language of the Harappan people, known as the Indus script, is unusual because it remains largely undeciphered, with no confirmed linguistic or phonetic understanding. It consists of short inscriptions, often found on seals and pottery, featuring a series of symbols that do not correspond to any known writing system. The script is unique in its brevity and the absence of any bilingual inscriptions, which hampers efforts for translation. Additionally, it is characterized by a lack of clear directionality and consistent patterns, adding to the challenges of understanding its meaning.
Artifacts found at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa show that the region of the early cities was later absorbed into a Christian religion.

What caused the downfall of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro?
Mohenjo Daro or "Mound of the Dead" is an ancient Indus Valley Civilization city that flourished between 2600 and 1900 BC. It was one of the first world and ancient Indian cities. Mohenjo-daro is located in the Sindh province on a Pleistocene ridge in the middle of the flood plain of the Indus River. The ridge is now buried by the flooding of the plains, but was prominent during the time of the Indus Valley Civilization. The ridge allowed the city to stand out above the surrounding plain and be elevated. Mohenjo-daro was discovered in 1922 by R. D. Banerji, an officer of the Archaeological Survey of India, two years after major excavations had begun at Harappa, some 590 km to the north. Large-scale excavations were carried out at the site under the direction of John Marshall, K. N. Dikshit, Ernest Mackay, and many other directors through the 1930s.
