Pakistan's lost city of 40k people
All Indian students below the age of 13 have heard of Mohenjo-Daro. I don't remember what year's textbooks it was in for us but the author assertion that it is a place that "most people have never heard of" has almost a billion rebuttals.

Add the almost 225 million or so Pakistanis too. About 1.5 billion people I'd say.

Need to add 3 billion more to that number to falsify the claim.

Yeah, Indian history education literally starts at the Harappan civilization. It's not possible to not know about it.

If most of the roughly 7-billion other people on the planet have never heard of it, then yes, most people have never heard of it.

I still remember during my school days, the cover of history textbook was with Indus script on it.
