India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Chronology of Ancient Gandhara and BactriaApollonius of Tyana and King Phraotes.—Philostratus wrote the biography of Apollonius titled “The Life of Apollonius of Tyana”. He clearly records that Apollonius of Tyana visited Taxila during the reign of King Phraotes around 618-617 BCE. Most probably, King Pakores was referred to as Phraotes. King Pakores succeeded Gondophares IV Sases and reigned around 620-600 BCE. Historians have identified Gondophares IV as Phraotes.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
