Thanks for the post. I hope you and your family are safe and sound during this crisis.
Take care, and keep up the good work.
The US is not well in handling this situation at all and the blow is going to be a big one. Let's hope I get to survive this (not the virus per se since I will be fine, but the extreme stupidity of the hysteria) and we are able to trade trivia like old. Good luck to you too for you and Germany.
You being able to work on more articles is one ray of light and positivity in this situation.
Can you do a 'What If' scenario ... say, the Ming Yongle emperor vs Tamerlane, or the State of Qin vs Roman Republic, early Tang dynasty vs Rashidun Caliphate.
Would be awesome.
Please and thank you.
The 2nd image is somewhat typical of Northern Chinese sculptures from around this period. And yes, definitely has Central Asian- Greco Buddhist influences.
