Yes, absolutely. And in doing so, they show us how deeply connected India, China and Arabia have been connected with the west since 2000 bce. That's why this doc was so good. Gave us a deep sense of how long the east/west have functioned as supportive cultures, feeding off one another with trade and science.

2:41:25 Historical documentaries always seem to forget that Alexander was well read. One of the works he knew was "Anabasis" by Xenophon. Alexander was a brilliant military strategist and he had noticed something vitally important from reading the book - the Persian Empire was essentially "hollow". Only the perimeter of Persia was defended. Once an invading army punched its way into the heart of the empire, they could run rampant taking city after city and gain massive wealth. This realization was the catalyst for his invasion.

I am a historian and I will tell you something that you need to know: There was no Middle East in Antiquity (1,100/1000 B. C. E.-476 C. E.) The term began to be in use in 1871 with the opening of the Suez Canal. It was a successful political move of the French and British. Until then the "Middle East" was known as Northeast Africa. Geophysically it still is.

[@susanmcdonald9088]

I think this incredible theory helps explain some things... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmiocp-KmL95rbs

[@Lucrei.]

They probably can't know with 100% certainty (in fact there might even have been some in isolated cases), but there's probably no anthropological evidence to suggest they did. If it was very common place then there would be some anthropological evidence. We view society as a whole, so when such behaviour becomes mainstream and recorded is when it is self-evident historically speaking. Any postulation (like I just made above) to things existing before such evidence is simply speculation at best.
