Marvels of Kushan dynasty.

The Kushan Empire was a vast, syncretic Central Asian power that ruled over much of northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE. As a branch of the nomadic Yuezhi people, they dominated the Silk Road, linking the economies of the Han, Roman, and Parthian empires.

Kujula Kadphises: The founder who united the five Yuezhi tribes and established the base of the empire in the 1st century CE.

Vima Kadphises: Son of Kujula who extended the territory and introduced the first gold coinage in India.

Kanishka the Great: The most famous Kushan ruler, who reigned from roughly 127–147 CE. He expanded the empire as far as Pataliputra in the Gangetic plain and shifted the administrative language from Greek to Bactrian.

The Kushan dynasty was instrumental in the spread of Buddhism to Central Asia and China. They birthed the Gandhara art style, which famously depicted the Buddha with Hellenistic (Greek) artistic features.

Their control of key trade networks brought immense wealth into the Indian subcontinent and secured cultural exchanges across Eurasia.

The empire began to fragment in the 3rd century CE. Western territories were absorbed by the expanding Sassanid Empire, while eastern territories were eventually conquered by the Gupta Empire in the 4th century CE.

A forgotten “Sumerian princess” buried in ancient Mesopotamia is now pulling historians back into one of the earliest chapters of human civilization.

She lived more than 4,000 years ago — in a world where writing was just beginning to reshape history itself.

But new interpretations of her story suggest she may have been far more important than just royalty…

Possibly even connected to the earliest known author in human history.

Efforts on to bring back Chola royal charter

Description
The 21 copper plates are held together by a bronze ring bearing the seal of Rajendra Chola.

A royal charter or a sasana of the Chola kings, lost 300 years ago from Tamil Nadu, is now being preserved in the Leiden University in the Netherlands.
Commonly referred to as the “Leiden plates”, it was issued by the kings to a Buddhist vihara.
With the Netherlands relooking at its colonial collections, and planning to return over 10,000 artefacts to the source nations or former colonies, art enthusiasts say it is time for India to make efforts to get the crowning glory of the Cholas back.
Chola royal charter

The charter has two sections — one in Sanskrit and another in Tamil — and the 21 copper plates are held together by a massive bronze ring bearing the regal seal of Rajendra Chola.
They also deal with the geneology of the Chola dynasty and the reign of king Rajaraja I (985-1012 AD), the father of Rajendra Chola (1012-1042 AD).
It proclaims that 26 villages bordering Anaimangalam were donated for a Buddhist shrine (vihara), known as Chulamanivarmavihara, built by the Malay king of Sriwijaya in Nagapattinam, a port town on the Coromandel coast, said S. Vijay Kumar, art enthusiast and co-founder of the India Pride Project.
The provenance states that the copper plates were donated in 1862, by successors, to the estate of professor Hendrik Arent Hamaker.
This charter and another one were brought from India by Florentius Camper, minister of faith in Batavia, in 1703-1712.
The charters are seen as testimony to how the Buddhist centre of learning and spirituality flourished, benefiting from the benevolence of king Rajaraja, who built a Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur.
“The copper plates are an important evidence on the history of the Chola period. They also talk about the conquests, accomplishments and expeditions to the far east.
The charters s the also called a‘Anaimangalam’ copper plates.”
“Anbil plates are also very important. They give a lot of information about Chola history. No one knows its present location.
