Located in the Tarim Basin of Asia during the first few centuries CE, a people and a kingdom grew to prominence in medieval central and east Asian geopolitics. The people are known today as the Tocharians, and their primary kingdom was Kucha, but despite their longevity, this incredible kingdom and its people have been overlooked and misunderstood by modern societies and historians for centuries.

In one of the most influential papers on physics ever published[1], he proposed something called “time dilatation.”

When Gareth Harney was first handed a Roman coin by his father as a child, he became entranced by its beauty, and its unique ability to connect us with the distant past.

It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180.
