In the 5th century BCE, Sushruta, a renowned Indian surgeon, first identified diabetes by observing that diabetics’ urine attracted ants due to its sweetness. He noted that the condition primarily affected wealthier individuals and linked it to a diet high in rice and sweets.

Khona was a poet and astronomer from Deulia village in Bengal, best known for Khonar Bochon, a series of couplets and short rhymes which imparts advice regarding agricultural and rural life. Born somewhere between 800-1200 A.D., Khona defied social and cultural norms of her time when women were rarely taught to read. Her husband Mihir was the son of the philosopher and astronomer Barahmihir, who was one of the navaratnas (nine gems) at the court of Chandragupta II. Khona lived in Chandragupta's court in Pataliputra for a time with her husband and father-in-law. According to legend, Chandragupta was so impressed with Khonar Bochon which benefited the farmers of his state that he named Khona the tenth gem of his court. Khonar Bochon remains relevant to the agricultural life of rural Bengal to the present day.

Time Travel Question 62: early Modern and Much Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

I can't remember if we did this one. It would have been late last summer. i think we did some specific species, but i can't remember if it was done in total. I am quoting the whole suggestion here: "Carboniferous forests, before Angiosperms became dominant. I want to see the lepidodendrons and the huge equisetes and all the many Araucaria and gnetophytes and ginkgos that once thrived."

It is too late to fix the typo, but the First item should read somemething like: "People, species, and landscapes of California circa 1400.

Coins weren’t the only, or the most important, place that Indian and Greek cultures impacted one another. Take a look at this 1885 photo of a piece of an ancient column found in what’s now northern Pakistan:

If you know your Greek columns, you’ll be able to identify this as the Corinthian style (Corinthian capitals are the really complicated ones with lots of leaves). But who’s that in the middle?

Yep, it’s the Buddha, plunked down in the middle of a very Greek-looking piece of sculpture.

And look what’s on top of it — a bunch of very distinctively stylized Indian elephants:
