Wow, going into Asian history is a continuously learning process for me. I'm always discovering that things aren't quite the way i thought of them the day before as I find new sources.
For example, I just realized that Satavahana in India didn't emerge until around 230 BC and the dominant power in that region was in fact the Chera empire. I also found out that Yelang is a latter Chinese name for the Kingdom and they called themselves Zangke in the 3rd century BC. GG2 pointed out that the Wusun can be more accurately called the Asman. And Gojoseon has an unneeded 'Go' used to differentiate it from a later Joseon state, thus its actually just Joseon. Dong-hu should actually be Tung-hu or something similar. The Chinese state of Wei can also be referred to as Liang. And thats just since my last post!
