Alexander the Great spent only a few months in Afghanistan, and managed to convert the entire region to Greek civilization.
America with all our technology spent 20 years a trillions of dollars there and utterly failed to do the same.
Interesting piece of history. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing a bit of history.
Interesting video. I’d known, of course, that Alexander the Great’s empire had extended all the way through Afghanistan into India, but didn’t know that Greek civilization had survived in Afghanistan for hundreds of years.
The Graeco bactrian, indo greek and kunshan kingdare fascinating history.
A great find. Thanks.
