From Greece to Afghanistan: The journey of Hellenism.

This silver plaque with gold appliqués, dated to the 3rd–2nd century BC, is known as the Ai-Khanoum plaque. It depicts Cybele, the ancient Anatolian Mother Goddess, riding a chariot drawn by lions—symbols of sovereignty, protection, and untamed nature. Ai-Khanoum was founded shortly after 330 BC, following Alexander the Great's conquest of Bactria. By the early 3rd century BC, it became a major city of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, ruled by descendants of Alexander's generals. Greek temples, a theater, inscriptions in Greek, and a gymnasium stood thousands of kilometers from the Aegean. Cybele's presence here is remarkable. Her cult originated in Phrygia centuries earlier and spread to Greece in the 5th century BC, before reaching the eastern Hellenistic world.
This plaque shows her transformed rendered in a fully Hellenistic artistic language, yet charged with Near Eastern and cosmic symbolism. The sun, moon, and star above suggest divine universality, not a local deity, but a goddess meant to rule the world. The use of silver and gold indicates elite patronage, likely connected to royal or high-status religious practice. This was not decoration it was ideology in metal. Far from being a remote frontier, Ai-Khanoum was a crossroads where Greek philosophy, Persian tradition, and Central Asian belief systems merged.

Nigerian doctor reacts after TVC reporter berated healthcare workers being on strike on the day late gospel artiste, Toluwanisings, slumped and needed medical attention

Recall that on Wednesday, October 14, the late gospel singer slumped in his home in Ibadan and was rushed to several hospitals but was turned back because the doctors were on strike.

While his demise shocked so many, it sprung up the debate on the poor healthcare system in Nigeria. The doctors were on strike demanding for better pay and working conditions.

While reacting to the singer’s sudden demise, the TVC reporter argued that doctors took an oath to save lives and should stick to upholding this oath at all times. She argued that doctors shouldn’t be about the money but about saving lives. She wondered how the striking doctors in the hospital where late Toluwanisings was turned back would feel now that he passed.
