On the eastern flank of ancient civilisation that is nearly 4000 years old town Lothal the architects of the town had created dockyard and a warehouse to support naval trade.
The warehouse was built close to the dockyard on a plinth of mud bricks approximately 11 ft high. A long wharf connected the dockyard to the main warehouse.
This was the place where goods were checked and stored. It was divided into 64 rooms of around 3.5 square meters each, connected by 1.2 meter wide passages.
Only 12 of these cubical blocks have survived test of time.

It's strange to think of this place bustling with merchants.
A rare slice of history. This place must have been bustling with trading activities once.
