Published 2021-03-14
Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Ancient Civilizations and Nomadic Cultures continues with a video on the Yuezhi - the nomadic people who were neighbors of the Qin and Han Chinese dynasties and the Xiongnu and Wusun nomads, but were driven to Central Asia. From here the Yuezhi created their Kusha Empire in Central Asia and North India. This migration played a crucial role in the history of India, Iran, Central Asia and Buddhism.

Had no idea that the Kushan Empire was that big.
-
The Buddha statutes in Afghanistan destroyed by the Taliban were built by the Kushans. In Afghanistan we still have people called Koshanian or Kushanis
-
I didn't even consider this channel ever covering the Kushans, I hardly ever hear about them outside of me actively studying into them. Thanks!! 😁
-
I never thought I'd hear the phrase "Kabul was relatively easy to conquer".
-
I’m just waiting for the coverage of the Cumans and Pechenegs
-
While I was aware of the Yuezhi, I was not knowledgeable about their history. Well done as always, K&G.
-
Berserk fans: They were a real empire?!
-
I always wondered how Buddhism managed to spread across Asia the way it did. History class boiled the answer down to "trade" or "the Silk Road," but this video clarified the missing link. The Kushan Empire is underrated and not covered enough given its historical significance.
-
Yuezhi envoys visiting the Chinese capital Luoyang in the year 2 BC gave oral teachings on Buddhist sutras to Chinese students, making them the first carriers of Buddhism into China. This is recorded in the 5th century CE 'The Book of the Later Han'.
-
11:18 I hope K&G would consider covering the lives and exploit of extraordinary Protector General Ban Chao. He basically was a nobody who came from a family of historians but was ambitious enough that he later was transferred into a cavalry major (from a pencil-pushing position!) and distinguished himself in fights against Xiongnu and later the pacification of the petty oasis states West of Han. He was basically a history nerd turned into a successful general.
-
All this time, I was thought that Kushan was a fictional kingdom in Berserk.
-
Think you forgot the part where the Kushan invaded Midland.
-
As an indian...happy to see this...kushans had a great influence in india and rest of asia...budhism thrived in this period
-
The clothing of the Chinese emperor @20:25 is historically inaccurate. That is the Qing style, which did not come to power in China until the 17th century.
-
"No one's left ... Everything's gone ...! Kharak is burning!"
-
Something something, Berserk reference.
-
I was a fan of Kushan Empire(fan only in an academic sense). It also significantly affected the culture of the Indian subcontinent of the ancient era
-
What a coincidence. I was just recently thinking about and reading up on the Kushan Empire! I find their religion particularly intriguing, it being a mix of Buddhist, Greek, Hindu, and Persian.
-
I learned a lot of new stuff, thanks for this interesting and great episode. 💪🏼
