bookshelves: indian, history, ancient-world

Fascinating look at India's massive cultural influence on the ancient world. I had no idea that Arabic numerals in fact came from India, and there's a ton of interesting stuff about trade routes and the spread of religions. Well written as always and very knowledgeable.
