Consider the following statements regarding the architectural mechanics of the Great Granary at Mohenjo-daro:
1. It was systematically built upon a massive brick platform with narrow air ducts or ventilation sleeper shafts designed specifically to allow air circulation and prevent moisture accumulation in grain stockpiles.
2. The main superstructure built directly over these brick platforms was made of heavy timber logs, which explains why no vertical walls of the main rooms survived.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. The Great Granary showcases advanced pyrotechnological and structural design. Hominids or Harappan builders left strategic gaps between brick podiums to serve as air channels, while the actual storage warehouse above was constructed of timber, leaving behind only the solid masonry foundations.
