"When it was found, the mural was weathered and its images obscured. But those who discovered it had the foresight to make a drawing of it, from which replicas have been made."

Very interesting, but did they not have the foresight to preserve it from destruction from the road construction as well?

Excellent. Some wear pant and some don’t.

The pre-Islam period is interesting in Sogdiana history. At the time they were merchants very active in the China trade and theirs was a commercial language on the Silk Road. They were on very good terms with the Chinese, even after the Turks conquered them shortly before the Muslims.

What I did not appreciate until this post was how active Korea was in the Silk Road trade. Interesting.
