Add Tag | Summary: | Ancient and mysterious, for centuries the land which is now Pakistan has attracted and mystics, adventurers and mercenaries. Up its craggy defiles have climbed such warriors as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan in search of plunder and glory. More peacefully, its cities of Harappa and Moenjodaro were at the heart of the great Indus Valley civilization more than 4,500 years ago. Modern Pakistan, born in 1947 out of the ashes of Imperial India, has inherited the beauties of its ancient past. Journey through Pakistan follows the course of the river as it passes through lovely isolated valleys, through rich and fertile plains and past cities as varied as Multan, old even Alexander passed this way and Karachi, a modern port of sixteen million people that can trace its origin back little more than a century. |
