The Yuezhi's Inclusion in EB - Debate

[Reenk Roink]

In all honesty, Jurchen Fury has made an excellent case about the location of the Yuezhi. After reading through only some of his intial posts thoroughly (I merely skimmed through the flame war) he makes an excellent case, and nobody has been able to bring up sources that directly contradict his hypothesis. Now, of course, there was another EB member, Pedro, who did think that the Yuezhi should be included, so I suppose it would be best if he could show up, but that hasn't happened so far. Jurchen Fury, it has been stated by other EB members, was extremely important in the development of the Yuezhi faction for EB, therefore, I tend to look at his arguments with a degree of credibility, as aside from being very comprehensive and well-cited, you could say that he is one of the Yuezhi faction creators.

The argument against Jurchen Fury is quite queer and polemical, as you can apply such statements to any period of time, to any people, including today (Bush called the democrats "history rewriters"). There will always be biases and points-of-view whenever anyone writes history and the reader will bring his or her own bias and point of view as well.

I believe this thread has outlived its usefulness.
