§ Historical contemporaries

I continue to be delighted at how connected arbitrary parts of history are. Here's a list of contemporaries I would not have guessed:

• Rembrandt sketched Shah jahan
• Greek ambassador in the Ashoka court
• "Bhaeatha's kingdom" for Bharat as known by the Chinese
• Aurangzeb had rockets when fighting his brother
• Aurangzeb had a French physician (Francois bernier)
• Picasso was against the Korean war (1950) and painted about it.
