Mohenjo Daro Mohenjo Daro sat beneath the soil for thousands of years, a preserved relic of the ancient Indus Valley civilization. But excavation exposed the city to the elements, and now, says the Telegraph, the ruins may have as little as 20 years left.
Baltit Fort
Baltit Fort is the perfect example of this melding of defense and definition, and its notably Tibetan architecture makes it as curious as it is stunning. Still standing tall and imposing after more than 700 years, this 14th-century fortress is a reminder of the lay of the land in northern Pakistan, both literally and figuratively, centuries ago.
Badshahi Mosque Badshahi Mosque was a symbol of power in the Mughal Empire. Cursed by its size and location, when the region was cast into civil war and overtaken by Sikhs, the mosque began a new history of exploitation for military purposes.
