<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1768447, member: 44140&quot;]Again an interesting addition....this reminds me of the scarcity of the written record when referring to the Indo-Greek Kings, what do we have a Buddhist mention of Menander and a tax receipt from Antimachus? All the information simply disappeared when the affairs of Asia stopped affecting the affairs in Europe. The rest was pieced together from their coins, of which only the obverse could be read, the reverse Kharosthi was deciphered in the 19th century. These are truly fascinating coins, especially when so much of European and Chinese history is very well recorded, by comparison.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Imagine in the future people getting all the facts wrong, and thinking that Richard Nixon was assassinated by Abraham Lincoln in 1792. Mind boggling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
