“The kunshan empire was key in spreading Buddhism from India to China, Korea, and Japan.”

And because it was a midway point on the Silk Road it spread Hinduism and Buddhism towards the west also. Per the linked article from the west the Byzantine Empire also influenced them. Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists all lived side by side with Zoroastrians. A regular melting pot of cultures.

I found the idea of a 400 pound General doing the Sogdian Whirl interesting. Wonder if it was a marvel just because he could even physically do it.
