This episode traces the epic migration of the Yuezhi from the Hexi Corridor to Bactria and the founding of the Kushan Empire. Lucas and Luna explore the Xiongnu pressure that forced the Yuezhi west, their encounter with the Wusun, the discovery of the Tillya Tepe treasure, and how Kujula Kadphises united the five tribes to create a Silk Road superpower. Along the way, they discuss the role of the Yuezhi in spreading Buddhism to Central Asia and China, the debate over their Tocharian identity, and the legacy of the Kushan Empire in art, trade, and religion. #Yuezhi #KushanEmpire #HexiCorridor #Xiongnu #Bactria #TillyaTepe #KujulaKadphises #Wusun #Tocharians #GrecoBactrian #SilkRoad #CentralAsia #AncientHistory #Archaeology #Buddhism #NomadicEmpire #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
