Some other things I was not very familiar with were universities, medicine, and astronomy. Medicine seemed out of this world. Guptans had free hospital care and took donations, they also prescribed powders. I have never even heard about universities and education. It was a patriarchal society so only males went to school and you had to be of a higher social class. I still don’t fully understand Schools.
Their universities seemed odd but yet brilliant at the same time, I don’t know why no one else thought of it. Universities were also built near religious buildings. Astronomy was also rather odd, I was just thought of them as stars and nothing beyond that. The Guptans had the best astronomers out there, far better then the Greeks. Aryabheta was the best though, he was the one who created the 365.258 days in a year. He also figured out all planets were spheres.
