Looks like the present day Kandahar is represented here as Gandhara?

Actually i think it's Gandahar in Uzbekistan or up there somewhere. There are ruins and paintings there i saw on a TV show where there are people depicted with blond/red hair,
indian types, and chinese. It's that mysterious Uzbeki hidden civilisation.

Actually that's comparatively modern -- Gandhara, Taxila, etc. are only known of in the 1 millenium BC. The Indus valley and other civilisations in the Indian continent stretch back to 5000 BC at least.

Kandahar is one of many Alexandrias. Gandhara could be it or another one.
