You all may not be too interested in this, but I'm fascinated by this cool link that shows some topographical maps and 3-D images of Harappa.

Harappa was one of two major cultural centers of the Indus Valley civilization that flourished around 2500 BCE. The other major cultural center was Mohenjo-Daro (in the current Sindh province of Pakistan). Harappa is in current Lahore.
Despite the numerous seals found at Harappa with proto-Dravidian and proto-Sanksritic markings, archeologists to date have been unable to translate the words. It is also interesting to note that it is unclear as to what brought the civilization to an end.
I'll post more about the Indus Valley civilization later, but until then, check out the site. :)
