The wells and drains seem very advanced even by todays standards. I am not only referring to the complexity of the system,but also the size. These structures were obviously built to last forever. I wish I had a real time traveling pogo stick to see what these systems looked like when they were in operation ,and what could wipe out a group of people this advanced.

this link is a great way to find out more about mohenjo, and its easy to understand, i felt like a 4th grader reading it but it was very nicely illustrated! thanks for the extra help mr.needle! and instead of wanting a pogo-stick to time travel i would prefer sheep, that just my opinion.

Turkic: on-ogur, “(people of the) ten arrows” — in other words, “alliance of the ten tribes”. Byzantine chronicles gave this name to the Hungarians; the chroniclers mistakenly assumed that the Hungarians had Turkic origins, based on their Turkic-nomadic customs and appearance, despite the Finno-Ugric language of the people. The Hungarian tribes later actually formed an alliance of the seven Hungarian and three Khazarian tribes, but the name originates from the time before this, and first applied to the original seven Hungarian tribes. The ethnonym Hunni (referring to the Huns) has influenced the Latin (and English) spelling.
