Construction date wrong?[edit]

The article presently says "built in the 899999 century BCE" but the Indus Valley Civilization article says it ran from "3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1900 BCE" which would put construction 1,000 years after the end of the civilization to which it belongs. Can an expert please review? Thanks Kiore (talk) 09:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

that is good observation! 3rd Century BCE - is chagned to 3rd Millenium BCE, the actual period of Indus valley civilisation.

Bitumen[edit]

Since there was no local source of bitumen, we can assume it was imported from Sumer. If anyone has a source confirming this, it would be worth mentioning in the article. 192.226.181.116 (talk) 04:05, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Bitumen is known around Sibi in the Kachi plain and in the Mianwali are of Punjab. It may have been exploited, since a large quantity of bitumen was employed in the construction of The Great Bath at Mohenjo-daro. The use of bitumen to waterproof baskets at Mehrgarh, thousands of years earlier, suggests familiarity with the Kachi sources."^[1]
