Talk:Great Bath

Construction date wrong?
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)
 * that is good observation! 3rd Century BCE - is chagned to 3rd Millenium BCE, the actual period of Indus valley civilisation.

Bitumen
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)
 * "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."
