The History of Tikka Masala

(Lucy) Mohenjo Daro was a vast metropolis, with elaborate urban infrastructure... and largely mysterious urban organization. It was a center of the Indus Valley civilization.

This episode looks at what history can tell us about the art and culture — and water management — of this ancient civilization.
