In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the enduring legacy of the Yuezhi and Kushan empires after the events of the Ai Khanoum and Panjikent episodes. They focus on the Kushan adoption of Buddhism and the creation of the first human-like Buddha images in Gandhara, the role of the Silk Road in spreading these ideas to China, and the mysterious fall of the Kushan empire to the Sassanians in the 3rd century CE. Specific topics include the Rabatak Inscription's mention of Kanishka I's dedication to the goddess Nana, the influence of Greco-Roman art on Gandharan sculpture, the spread of Mahayana Buddhism via the Silk Road, and the Sassanian conquest under Shapur I. The episode also touches on the legacy of the Yuezhi as nomadic conquerors who absorbed and transformed the cultures they encountered. #Yuezhi #KushanEmpire #KanishkaI #Gandhara #Buddhism #SilkRoad #RabatakInscription #GrecoBuddhist #Mahayana #Sassanian #ShapurI #AiKhanoum #BactrianCamel #CentralAsia #History #FexingoHistory #WorldHistory #NomadicEmpire Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
