Produktbeschreibung

Europeans have known since time immemorial that somewhere in the east there is a country where the River Ganges flows. Ptolemy's world map gives testimony to that.

Ultimately, in that land, they came to know about some ancient literature that started writing a new chapter in history. The Europeans started unearthing an almost forgotten civilization. Whatever progress could be made was due to the progress in the scientific and technological fields. Like many other things, their efforts came to an abrupt end around the middle of the 20th century.
