Question

Compare the similarities and differences between the Dwipas conceived by ancient Indian and Greek ancient

Answer 1

Answer:

Bronze Age paintings in a building at Akrotiri(Akrotiri was a Minoan settlement), depicted monkeys. Most of the monkeys have been identified as Egyptian species. But there was a species that was harder to identify. Archaeologists teamed up with primatologistsin order to re-examine the monkey paintings. The team has identified the monkey as a grey langur. Grey langurs live in southern Asia in what is now Nepal, Bhutan and India, particularly in the Indus Valley. Researcher say that Mesopotamia may have functioned as an intermediary that enabled the movement of goods, raw materials, people, and iconography between the east and west. Mesopotamia may have even afforded an opportunity for Aegean peoples to encounter the creatures themselves, first-hand.
