"Apollodotus II (Greek: Ἀπολλόδοτος Β΄) was an Indo-Greek king who ruled in the western and eastern parts of Punjab."

 

the soviets found a hoard of baktrian gold artifacts in afghanistan after they invaded in 1979. thankfully they lost that war/ but the taliban scumbags were just as evil.

 

What happened to the hoard?

 

my hunch is its in putin's black sea palace.....or in the hermitage where all the stuff resides that the russians looted in past 600 years.
