Strabo on Crimea - Thread
Strabo was an ancient Greek geographer who lived from 64 BC to 24 AD
His work "Geographica" is arguably the single best source on the geography of the ancient world & consists of 17 books in 8 volumes (Loeb edition)
Crimea in ancient times was known as Taurica Chersonesus
Book VII, Chapter 4 in "Geographica" focuses on Crimea
While northern Crimea is steppeland and the region around Sevastopol is quite harsh, the southern coast that lies beyond the Tauric Mountains resembles the climate and landscape of Greece and Italy.
Ivan Aivazovsky captures this region better than anyone in his paintings

In contrast to earlier estimates, the Neolithic farming site of Mehrgarh in Balochistan started around 5000 BC.
This is around 2,000 years later than previously thought.
Agriculture was brought into the region by migration from Iran. Pretty amazing these Iranian Neolithic farmers were able to do this in such a difficult landscape across highlands of the Iranian plateau / Balochistan. They must have colonised these islands of fertility in turn.
They later spread into the far more fertile and extensive Indus Valley and developed into the IVC. The Indus valley must have seemed like a paradise in comparison to their ancestral landscapes to the west.
