Option 3 : Mohenjodaro and Lothal
The correct answer is Mohenjodaro and Lothal.
Lothal:
- Clay model boats have been found from Lothal's excavations.
- Lothal is located between the Bhogavo and Sabarmati rivers near the Gulf of Khambhat in Gujarat.
- As the Indus script is yet to be deciphered, it is not known if this was really India’s first port as is claimed by some and questioned by some historians.
- However, the discovery of Lothal seals in other ancient cities points to its importance in a trade that was conducted with other ancient civilisations.
