Re: *****SPAM***** VMs: Re: speculating on silkroad

Hi

 

On silkroad, Afghanistan is probably one of the most interesting countries, perhaps

with Syria.

 

One main reason is that in its history we can find the explanation of the intrication

of Western and Oriental cultures we still are able to contemplate in some remnant

works of art, for instance.

 

I remember you already showed coins on this list and your attached statues are a

sufficient evidence of the above IMO.

 

Please find here an other link, with again coins, but also with something almost directly

Voynichese, as it appears to me:

I mean: the quasi zodiacal plate, of course.
