Grain was available to the families for bread from the central granaries housed in each district. It is not known whether they stored other harvest crops in these granaries and it is likely that other goods were purchased from local shopkeepers instead. From these food bazaars a variety of items could be purchased; barley, dates, melons, peas and of course meat from the locally kept herds of water buffalo, cattle, pig, antelope and sheep. Due to the closeness of the two rivers and the proximity to the ocean fish was plentiful as well. All the makings of a great dinner for you and your family! No cafe's have been found as yet, but some were likely to have existed but over time their remains have become indeterminate buildings.

Built with the standardized bricks used throughout Mohenjodaro and it's surrounding lands, homes were plentiful and well built if not containing much variety in construction. Flat roofed with an inner courtyard, and windows that opened up to your own courtyard well and garden were typical features of an Indus Valley home. Evidence of stairways tell us that many homes were two story affairs. In the city districts homes were found with clay pipes leading to sewers located outside the city walls.

The Harrapa are considered an agricultural civilization, and farming, hunting and fishing all would have been jobs available in an abundance. But many think of the Indus as being great artisans and traders, and the vast array of beautiful pottery, jewelry and carved objects can surely attest to that. Found as far as the border to Iran, beautiful Indus artwork was much sought after in the ancient world and so not only the occupation of trader, sailor and caravan attendants would have been available but possibly also forms of goverment ambassadors to ensure their people's goods were well received and fairly traded. This also opens up the help wanted list for jewelry makers, carvers, potters and other artisans.

We have a great many theories and knowledge about the ancient Harrapa through these discovered works of art, the records in Mesopotamian archives and their many cities. But little is known of their true daily lives, very few details emerge and as yet do not even know about their religious practices or language. Script of sorts have been found on the numerous clay tablets that may shed light on these issues, but no murals or story-art remain. Imagine yourself in ancient Mohenjodaro, imagine your home, your job, your family and daily routines from what is known and paint the rest with your own imagination. Look around you, what colors are your cotton clothing dyed? What does your name sound like? Who do you pray to? We are in a unique land to AncientWorlds, one where the facts act as structure, but it is your own vision that determines it.
