The generals of Heracles took over the control of Sivi kingdom and established their rule. After the fall of Troy (1842 BCE), many more Ionians migrated to Afghanistan. Thus, Indo-Greeks and Indo-Parthians came into existence. They have established their authority in entire Afghanistan. During the reign of Ashoka (1765-1737 BCE), these immigrant Ionian kings established a vast kingdom from Armenia to Afghanistan.

Though Yavanas of Afghanistan followed Surya Siddhanta in ancient times but they evolved a distinct siddhanta known as Yavana Siddhanta. Yavanas also claimed the origin of their siddhanta from Maya, the Great Assura because ancient Yavanas inherited Danava customs and culture.
