Through its high valleys merchants traded Chinese porcelains,\u0026amp;nbsp;bundles of indigo cloth, sacks of lapis lazuli, and emeralds from both east and\u0026amp;nbsp;west. Ancient scrolls and beliefs entered the land in the satchels of Buddhist\u0026amp;nbsp;pilgrims and in the baggage of military invaders  from Alexander the Great to Mughal, Persian and Arab conquerors and even the ill-fated armies of the British Raj. Peter Levi was intrigued by the strange story of a Greek site in Afghanistan\u0026amp;nbsp;and this account of his travels through the migratory trails left behind in this\u0026amp;nbsp;remote area is a beautifully crafted book.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925005648030,"sku":"ING-9781906011550","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781906011550.jpg?v=1782957283","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781906011550","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
