This is a nice intro to India; I've got to the midpoint (it's due back at the library in a couple of days, or maybe it's tomorrow) where the Yueh-chi / Tocharians / Kushans are discussed for a while.

...Kapisa, the summer capital of the Kushans. Here, in 1937, French archaeologists found the greatest single hoard of artistic treasures ever discoverd in Afghanistan: a wonderfully eclectic mixture of Silk Route artefacts... including a unique glass painting of one of the Wonders of the World, the Pharos of Alexandria.
