Visit the ancient city of Banbhore in the Indus Delta

Описание: On the northern banks of the Gharo creek in Thatta district, Sindh, lies the ancient port city of Banbhore. Connecting the river to the sea, Banbhore was part of a broader international trade network linked to the Mediterranean, Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, and China, between the 1st century BC and the 13th century AD.

Its origins, however, are still unclear. Is it the same port city mentioned in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea (and other Greek sources) known as Barbarikon? Alternatively, is it the famed port town of Debal (‘Daybul’) mentioned in Arabic and Persian sources as a large port city at the mouth of the Indus that was conquered by Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 AD?
