Long before the Mongols or the Sogdians, the Kushan Empire ruled the heart of the Silk Road, connecting Han China, Parthian Persia, and Roman Egypt. In this episode, Lucas tells Luna about the rise of the Kushans from a Yuezhi tribal confederation to a cosmopolitan empire that minted gold coins bearing Greek, Persian, and Indian gods. They explore the reign of Kanishka the Great, who patronized Buddhism and convened the Fourth Buddhist Council in Kashmir, spreading Mahayana Buddhism into Central Asia. They discuss Kushan art from Gandhara and Mathura, where Hellenistic realism blended with Indian spirituality. They also look at the empire's decline under Sasanian pressure and the Hephthalite invasions, which paved the way for the Gupta age. Specific names include: Kujula Kadphises, Vima Takto, Kanishka I, Huvishka, Vasudeva I, Shapur I, and the Hephthalites. Places: Gandhara, Mathura, Peshawar (Purushapura), Bagram (Kapisa), Taxila, Bamiyan. Concepts: syncretism, Silk Road trade, Mahayana Buddhism, Kushan script, Bactrian language, and the Rabatak inscription. #KushanEmpire #Kanishka #SilkRoad #Gandhara #Mathura #Buddhism #Mahayana #RabatakInscription #Yuezhi #KujulaKadphises #Purushapura #Bamiyan #SasanianEmpire #Hephthalites #GuptaEmpire #HellenisticArt #AncientEmpire #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
