<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2015116, member: 26302&quot;]Weird. Yes, the Skythians controlled Chach before the arrival of the Yueh Chi, (later Kushans), but a mint in India would be about 1500 miles away from Chach. So a leader in India was claiming to be ruler of Chach at the same time?&nbsp; Its possible, since the timeframe is about right, I guess I just had never heard the Skythian empire was that large.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of Sogdia changed hands repeatedly after Alexander took the &quot;Sogdian Rocks&quot;. First Greeks, then Skythians, then Yeuh Chi, then Huns, (both Red and White), then Chinese, then Huns again, and finally Islam. This is a rough guide of course, since the Chinese only took the eastern parts. The Sogdians simply accepted new overlords, where further south they fought them. This devastation, first by Skythians and later by Yueh Chi, really is what disrupted the earlier, more southerly silk road, and moved it north to pass through Sogdia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
