It was identified as a palace by archaeologists |
When it comes to identifying a center of power or depictions of individuals in positions of authority, archaeological records do not provide clear answers. While a large building discovered in Mohenjodaro has been labeled as a palace, no remarkable artifacts were associated with it. The stone statue known as the "priest-king" received this name due to similarities to Mesopotamian history, where "priest-kings" were recognized. However, the significance and role of rituals in the Harappan civilization remain poorly understood, and it is uncertain whether those who performed these rituals held political power. |
