The Great Bath is one of the best-known structures among the ruins of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization at Mohenjodaro in Sindh, Pakistan. It is called the "earliest public water tank of the ancient world.” Archaeological evidence indicates that the Great Bath was built in the 3rd millennium BC. It measures approximately 12 metres (40 ft) by 7 metres (23 ft), with a maximum depth of 2.4 metres (8 ft). Two wide staircases, one from the north and one from the south, served as the entry to the structure. Most scholars agree that this tank would have been used for special religious functions where water was used to purify and renew the well being of the bathers.
