TOW (& Answer)...

Book Jacket for: The seventy wonders of the ancient world : the great monuments and how they were built
This week’s question was when (& where) was the Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro built? The Great Bath of Mohnjo-daro was built in the 3rd millennium BC in Sindh, Pakistan.  To quote from my source:
The Great Bath of Mohndo-daro is one of the most striking monuments left by the famous Indus or Harappan civilization.  Located within the semi-arid wastelands of Sindh province in Pakistan, it represents a unique feat of planning and hydraulic engineering dating from the 3rd millennium BC.

The question (& answer) were taken from p. 227 of The Seventy Wonders of the Ancient Word by Chris Scarre.  The book was published by Thames & Hudson in 1999.
