Also tell Indo-Scythians (also called Indo-Sakas) were a group of nomadic people of Iranic Scythian origin who migrated from Central Asia southward into the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The migrations persisted from the middle of the second century BCE to the fourth century CE. The Saka settled in Drangiana, a region of southern Afghanistan, western Pakistan and southern Iran which was then named Sakastan or Sistan. The mixed Scythian hordes who migrated to Drangiana and the surrounding regions later spread into north and south-west India via the lower Indus valley. They spread into Sovira, Gujarat, Rajasthan and north India, including kingdoms on the Indian mainland.

"Full-time, part time, deep-joy of a full moon in the scintilatelly, heavenly dangely fold." A direct quote from British comedian Stanley Unwin, and it made as much sense as anything you just said.

At 21:14 is that a Manichaen art piece? I feel Manichaeism along the Silk Road is a very understudied topic that I would love to learn more about.

Reckon they traveled at night, during the big half of the moon's 28 day phases. We, the Wolf and I, often did this to avoid heat. From the preponderance of non-pants garb in old depictions of people, it was likely due to horses that most of the world now wears pants. Much of the Silk Road peoples have that cultural combination of generosity and friendliness to travelers with sequestration of women with severe control of that sequestration. Humans can vary enormously in affiliative sense to strangers, cultures shaped by modeling to their very young, their attitudes and behaviors. It is marvelous that the family exposed their very young to travel and different views of life.

Nice video, but why one of the most important countries of the Silk Road is not mentioned? Turkmenistan. Capital of Parthia was the city of Merv which is on the territory of current Turkmenistan. The ancient Turkmen city of Merv (Mary) used to be the so-called Gate to Central Asia. It was especially important in terms of trade and politics in the 9th - 10th centuries. From Merv the travelers proceeded to Amul (Chardzhou, Turkmenistan) and further to Bukhara and then to Samarkand. The territory of Turkmenistan is still rich in monuments which in antiquity were the most considerable stops on the Silk Road. They are the magnificent, sometimes unique architectural masterpieces of the past: the ancient settlement of Meshed-Mesrian in Dekhistan, Parau near Kizyl-Arvat, Shakhrislam in Bakhardok area, Nisa, Annau, Abiverd, Namazga-depe, Altyn-depe near Ashkhabad, Serakhs, ancient Merv, Margush, Amul near Turkmenabad, Kunya-Urgench, Shakhsenem near Dashgouz. The ancient settlement of Merv is located on the vast territory near the river of Murghab, in the suburb of the modern city of Bairam-Ali, approximately 30 km from the city of Mary. The ruins of the city walls and fortresses is what left of the huge magnificent city the population of which in the Middle Ages at ties exceeded one million people according to some historians. The past of Merv is mysterious, as if covered in fog of millennia: even its age causes disputes among scientists. But one thing is known for sure - Merv had been the capital of prospering Margiana and the major center on the international caravan line of the Silk Road long before the approach of our era. Merv, Turkmenistan At various times it was called differently: Mouru (the name of Murghab oasis in “Avesta”), Margush, Margiana, Margav, Maru and Merv. In the Middle Ages Merv received its special epithet, Shakhydzhan, which in translation means “the Soul of kings”, in other words, the mother of all cities of Khurasan supporting the rest of the world. There are very few cities in the history of Oriental civilization as well as the rest of the world which were awarded the magnificent title of the “Mother of Cities”. Merv used to be a huge megacity with no equals in Central Asia: even the famous Samarkand and Bukhara, Varakhsha and Pendzhikent looked like provincial towns. According to Zoroastrian literature it was Merv that possessed the third horn of plenty of the ancient world, following such cities as Herat and Balkh. Merv was the place where the immortal creations were made great poets, scientists and philosophers, Omar Khayam and Ismail Samani among them. And the beautiful golden horse you showed in the video is Akhal teke horse. They are our national pride. They are considered the world most beautiful horses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhal-Teke And here is information about Margiana, because Margiana was much bigger than Bactria and was one of the biggest cities at that time with population more than 250.000 people. And to confirm the information regarding genetics. I am Turkmen but I have 65% of Anatolian genes in me. I believe because Alexander left his army in Margiana.

Be a child of God and obey The Call to Repentance. Seek forgiveness for your sins, or perish in the eternal hell. Seek the ESV Bible, and live the scriptures. Patience is key!
