In the area known as Gandhara in Pakistan, artistic elements from the Hellenistic world combined with the symbolism needed to express Indian Buddhism to create a unique style. The decline of the Empire left the sub-continent open to the inroads by the Greco-Bactrians. Southern Afghanistan was absorbed by Demetrius I of Bactria in 180 BC. Around about 185 BC, Demetrius invaded and conquered Gandhara and the Punjab. Later, wars between different groups of Bactrian Greeks resulted in the independence of Gandhara from Bactria and the formation of the Indo-Greek kingdom. the top Buddha from Pakistan is one of the earliest made in 1-2nd century AD influenced by the Greek style The lower Buddha was made in Thaliand influenced by Thai culture, 7th century AD When there's lacking background information and it's revealed you can see the manipulation intended [/QB][/QUOTE]
