______________________________________________
This game was kinda fun. I connected with my inner child. (Lol) I learned about how bricks and drains were used. The wells were built higher as needed for taller buildings. I didn't even know First Street existed until I played this game. It's the longest and widest street.

I didn't know that the Mohenjo-Daro existed either. It was the biggest settlement that archaeologists in the Indus Valley. I also learned how the Indus Valley Civilization existed many years ago, 4,000 to be precise.
