I've been spending some time on maps lately. If you follow the link you can see a high res image of the site of the ancient city of
Mohenjo Daro - (see also left) one of the cities on the Indus River which date (depending who you talk to) from about 4000 BCE or perhaps as old as 7000BCE. This is the
Swat Valley/Gandhara region home to many innovations in Buddhism - and closest approach to the silk road. Here is the
Mahabodhi Temple marking the site where the Buddha meditated and Awakened.
I don't care what anyone says... this is way cool.
