Asoka’s Empire Expands To Central Asia, The Middle East And Nearly Half Of Europe | Mustaali Raj

Asoka’s conquests overpower the Romans before they can establish their empire. Hence, the Maurya Empire becomes the model for Western civilizations. Indo-Aryan influences in culture, language and architecture extend across the conquered regions that eventually permeate to America. Instead of the current neoclassical United States Capitol, the poster reimagines an alternate reality where the structure is derived from Mauryan architecture. The stupa-like dome is crowned by a sculpture of four eagles – Lion Capital of Asoka. The Brahmi script forms the basis for English, in lieu of Latin, visualized in the background through the American slogan “In God We Trust”.
