Beautifull and most sacred Chruches in india

Excuse me, there is no finer work in stone anywhere in the world but from Ancient India. Likewise for bronze. India had no use of these from anywhere. The only interest it had was gold.

You're totally clueless, Im not talking about medieval. Two different time periods.

You're totally clueless, Im not talking about medieval. Two different time periods.

I am talking about Kushan period. In India, bronze sculptures from the Kushana (Chausa hoard) and Gupta periods (Brahma from Mirpur-Khas, Akota Hoard,Sultanganj Buddha) and later periods (Hansi Hoard) have been found

A bronze coin of Kanishka found in Khotan, Tarim Basin

Dhow building, this was before the slave trade. When Arabs weren't the big shots.

In terms of natural resources, India had good timber, spices, cotton, etc. But many didnt have expertise in making gold coins, etc.

Reason by Kerala kings took tons of Roman manufactured coins for natural resources.

Funny, sense there are many Greek, Persian styles in ancient India.

You mean to say India could Invent Wootz steel,Zinc Extraction,Lost wax technique in casting Idols etc. but couldn't cast a simple gaudy Gold coin?

Kushans arent Indian, they're Central Asians who took in Greek and Persian, and lesser amount of Indian styles. You might as well call the Ghorids Indians. And Guptas arent ancient, Kushan is just and the end of ancient period.

Was Dhow building the main trade of Arabs? or was it slave trading?What was it they were trading from Deserts?

This is ancient Gerco Roman works of bronze -

This is Gerco Roman works of Marble -

Can you find contemporaneous works from India? No, you know why? Because they were working with wood.

I just said they was a ship building industy of sort. Which Arabs were known to be seafarers.

 

[wolfschanzze]

Canda?

Were not the Arabs bringing in gold from Mali back then? That is how I heard Kerala amassed so much gold.
.

Canada was a recent edition, not that Arabs never brought back gold.Malabar gold comes from that phrase.

On the other side of coin is a deity with a bull. Some consider the deity as Shiva because he is in ithyphallic state, holds a trident, and the Nandi bull is his mount, as in Hindu mythology.[39][40][44] Others suggest him as Oesho, Zoroastrian Vayu.

They're not INDIAN! You can find more Greek and Persian gods than Shiva. Even they use Gerco Roman coin making styles.

Bronze age seriously?
Wootz steel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Swords manufactured from crucible steels, such as wootz steel, exhibit unique banding patterns due to the intermixed ferrite and cementite alloys in the steel
Wootz steel is a steel characterized by a pattern of bands or sheets of microcarbides within a tempered martensite or pearlite matrix. It is stated to have developed in India around 300 BC.[1]

The word wootz[2] may have been a mistranscription of wook, an anglicised version of urukku (உருக்கு) (ഉരുക്കു), the word for melting in Tamil and Malayalam orurukke, the word for steel in Kannada (ಉರ್‍ಕು, ಉಕ್ಕು), Telugu (ఉక్కు) and many otherDravidian languages.

The Iron Pillar located in Delhi, India, is a 7 m (23 ft) column in the Qutb complex, notable for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction.

The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and materials scientists and has been called "a testament to the skill of ancient Indian blacksmiths" because of its high resistance to corrosion.[1] The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate forming on the high phosphorus content iron, which serves to protect it from the effects of the local Delhi climate.[2]

Ask the Metallurgists now to cast a RUST PROOF IRON PILLAR OR ANYTHING RUST PROOF.

A Buddhist devotee in Kushan dress, Mathura, 2nd century. The Kushan dress is generally depicted as quite stiff, and it is thought it was often made of leather (Francine Tissot, "Gandhara").

They're Indian too right?

Bronze age seriously?

Um, yes

They couldnt work with bronze in this fashion till much later

Chola

Kashmir

But this was like 1500++ years after the greeks

Even, the 500 BC Greek stuff are 10 times better.

You should see the contemporaneous Indian bronze stuff to these. Or do you want me to show you?

That temple design isnt 2000 years. Maybe there was a temple there 2000 years ago, but it's been remodel several times.
