"When it was found, the mural was weathered and its images obscured. But those who discovered it had the foresight to make a drawing of it, from which replicas have been made."Very interesting, but did they not have the foresight to preserve it from destruction from the road construction as well?

The pre-Islam period is interesting in Sogdiana history. At the time they were merchants very active in the China trade and theirs was a commercial language on the Silk Road. They were on very good terms with the Chinese, even after the Turks conquered them shortly before the Muslims.
What I did not appreciate until this post was how active Korea was in the Silk Road trade. Interesting.
