Day 4: Chasing Gandhara's Ghosts(part 1)

📍 Taxila - The Buddhist hub Xuanzang documented, where caravan trails once connected Iran, Central Asia, and the Indus Valley. 🏛️ 1928 Archaeology Museum A time capsule of colonial-era scholarship! The building itself exhales history. Almost peeked into Sir John Marshall’s former residence—alas, the curator was away. 🔥 Jandial Temple A Zoroastrian puzzle with Ionic columns 🏛️ still whispering Greek influence. Sat on its plinth, soaking up millennium-old sunshine. 🕵️♂️ Sirsuk Ruins Kushan city wrecked by White Huns. Came for: • 6m-thick walls 🧱 • Semi-circular bastions • "Horse-face" defensive towers —medieval warfare genius! #GandharaArt#Jandial Remains#PakistanHistory#Taxila# Sirsuk Ruins#Taxila Museum#trip diary#travel guide#Pakistan#Pakistan life#Pakistan travel
