Evident from a seal found in the site it is suggested that the name of the city was Kukkutarma (city of the cock (Dravidian Name). But the modern name is in Sindhi "Mohenjo Daro" meaning Mound of the dead.

I think most of you may know about Mohen Jo Daro. It along with Harrapa were the two major cities of the Indus Civilization which developed around 3000 BC (5012 Years Ago). The site of Mohen Jo Daro if looked from far looks like a well-planned and civilized city. The site has contributed a lot in helping historians figure out the Indus Civilization.
