At the Limits: Long Distance Trade in the time of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Kings

Yale University's Professor of Classics and HIstory, Joseph G. Manning, presents "At the Limits: Long Distance Trade in the time of Alexander and the Hellenistic Kings" at the Penn Museum's 2011 symposium, "Reconfiguring the Silk Road: New Research on East-West Exchange in Antiquity."

Excellent. The post-Macedonian, Hellenistic world is often overlooked, sandwiched in between Classic Greece, the Peloponnesian wars, the early Roman Republic and the Macedonian Empire of Phillip & Alexander, and the post Diadochoi late Roman Republic & early Roman Empire, The Jewish Wars / Early Christianity and the emergence of indo-European speaking European cultures into the western, historical record. Yet, the Hellenistic world laid so much of the groundwork and ideas of far-flung empire, bureaucratic governance and technological and economic advances that allowed Rome, and later Constantinople, to expand into Asia and North Africa.

Dawarka, India's gateway was the nerve center of a vast shipping/trading route that connected Sumeria, Oman, Yemen, even Alexandria through the Red Sea. The glorious Yadav tribe championed this great feat, for thousands of years.

The legendary king Prithu who taught agriculture and commerce to the Yadav tribe, preceded the legendary Sumerian story of Sindbad the sailor. He braved the waves on many voyages according to the Vishnu Purana, long before the Vedic age.

This video is 9 years old! This explains why it's inaccurate! Since then, the middle text of the Rosetta Stone which is the main body of text has been decoded and found that it's ancient Slavic Macedonian Sanskrit! This places the Slavic Macedonian people in the south east of Europe at 190Bc! And also, the same text has been found in Kokino Macedonia which has been dated to around 6000Bc! There's no archeological evidence of greek existence before the Santorini volcano eruption in 1500Bc! Ptolemy and Kleopatra spoke Slavic Macedonian and not greek as greese today would have you believe!
