peeyuwu Posted July 2, 2005 at 07:25 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 at 07:25 PM July 2, 2005 Dear AndyCmda: Thanks for these interesting maps. How "authentic" are they, since they differ somewhat from maps I've seen posted elsewhere (Your maps on the greatest expansion of Tang trumps all other maps by quite a bit)? It would be interesting to see where Talas River is. I've tried finding it on present day maps but no luck. P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia_Shang Posted January 25, 2006 at 05:16 AM Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 at 05:16 AM In fact, China got it's largest territory under control in the Yuan Dynasty, just after Song Dynasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
