The find seems ver consistent with both the Chinese and Indo-Iranian (and others) traditions and archaeology. The excellence of the map makes one think of high country observations don't they (faint stars)? I can't find anything on it but I seem to remember early observatories in the Hindu Kush? Does that ring a bell?????

"Does that ring a bell?????" My memory is shot. I guess the Iranians had made it into that area by that time.
