For me, it's the Kushan Empire:
>Tocharian ethnicity
>Scythian warfare and names
>Greco-Bactrian administrative system
>Greco-Indian architecture
>Greek AND Bactrian-Iranian official languages, both wrote in greek script as well
>Followed at the same time Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Hellenism, Buddhism, Schivaism, and various minor Iranic pantheons, likely to stack bonuses from each faith
>Their coins were autistic clusterfricks stacked with random deities, scripts and languages of all the above mentioned cultures
>Appeared in the Berserk manga as well somehow

They were not Tocharians.
They are the Tochar/Tokharoi/Kohtan/Kushan/Yeuzhi/Yuti/Gete
All sources, Persian/Greeks(They were greeks)/Indians/Chinese points to this.
You sure?
nope
Identifying the Kushans with the Tokharoi of Greek sources is fairly straightforward.
Problem is that calling Arsi-Kuci "Tocharian" is probably a misnomer and at best an exonym that was applied to multiple groups of people.
they only followed Hinduism, and it's not uncommon for foreign empires to assimilate to the culture of the areas they govern. also i dont think they are Tocharians, they were sythians
It dosent like they followed Hinduism more than any other faiths. Early Kushans prefered the greco-bactrians gods, while the later kushans heavily shilled Buddhism to China
Hellenic buddhism at that. Because the3y were big on greece. Fricking alexander.
>also i dont think they are Tocharians, they were sythians
This isn't as certain as you might think. I don't see why they couldn't have been proto-Turks from BMAC.
Their royal given names were clearly IE, and at least some of them had long beards, something unusual among mongoloids. But you have a point about central asian nomads being massive gigamutts, so its possible they were mixed
Read again, you've misinterpreted what I've said.
Proto-Turks were not Asiatic, but rather PIE peoples originating from the Bactria-Margiana Archeological Complex, or the Oxus civilization.
Furthermore academia has begun a campaign to portray Tocharians as being complete outliers altogether, perhaps for political purposes. Meanwhile they continue to insist that CWC is wholly Yamna, even though they're more than likely intentionally doing the opposite for Tocharians.

He is right
Turks are IE in Y-DNA
the Central American republic sounds like a meme state that mappainters make. And obviously the #1 video game larp empire is the Central African empire. Dude literally sucked Napoleons dick so hard he copied his coronation and blew something like a quarter of his nations budget on it.
India seems to have a tendency of getting invaded by people with more caucasoid people than themselves. First by Iran_N then aryans, scythians, greeks, parthians, kushans, parts by arabs, turks, persians, moghuls and the portuguese, dutch, french and the british.
>arabs, turks, Mughal more white than greeks
haha barbaricum :DDD
Taiping. It sounds like something that could happen in the Bible Belt, not China.
>Taiping. It sounds like something that could happen in the Bible Belt, not China.
You don't know much Chinese history then. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not purely Christian, it was a syncretic mystic cult. And syncretic mystic cult-rebellions are a very regular occurrence in its history.
The Taiping is the second famous cult-rebellion. The most famous being this one.
The Mesoamericans and Andeans in general fit this a lot due to them developing independently from Eurasian ones, but to use the Aztec as an example:
>originated as a group of Nomadic tribes just a few centuries earlier
>achieved widespread power and dominance over a wide area that had a ton of existing urban civiilizations
>Have giant city in the middle of a lake built out of artificial islands
>have giant pyramids and tempels
>Have venice like canals all throughout your cities, with gardens in palaces and the like
>Soldiers dress up in warsuits decorated with hundreds of thousands of iridesecent feathers and fashioned after animals and mythological creatures
>use weapons made of glass that can form edges thousands of times sharper then steel
>don't use the wheel or metal tools on a widespread basis
>practice human sacrifice
>have mythology that's basically cosmic horror
Even today it sounds, and accurate art of them looks, like something out of a fantasy novel, let alone to 16th century europeans
>Tocharian ethnicity
Why are Indo-Eurocels so moronic? The Tocharians have been dead for a millenia by this point. The Kushans were Yuezhi.
The Yuezhi were descendants of the Tocharians, at least in parts
I can beat that: The Kingdom of Khotan
