v1.c23.33

Our chapter on minerals and metals in Taxila shows how the successive waves of Persians, Bacterian Greeks, Scythians, Pārthians and Kuṣāṇas enriched diverse technology of materials in India for nearly one thousand years. The Greek sailors of Alexandria and Egypt introduced the Romans to the fascinating world of minerals and metals. This subject would constitute another chapter in our treatise.
