Q6

There are similarities between the seals found at Mohenjo-Daro and __________

A.
Egypt
B.
China
C.
Sumeria
Answer
D.
Afghanistan

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
One seal from Mohenjo-daro shows a half-human, half-buffalo monster attacking a tiger. This may be a reference to the Sumerian myth of a monster created by Aruru—the Sumerian earth and fertility goddess—to fight Gilgamesh, the hero of an ancient Mesopotamian epic poem. This is a further suggestion of international trade in Harappan culture.
