Beckwith, Johannes Bronkhorst, Georgios T. Halkias and others who have been publishing paradigm expanding and challenging information about the origins and circumstances of Buddhism with special attention given to philosopher, Pyrrho of Elis's journey with Alexander the Great to India in early 4th century BC. I think you will find their ideas fascinating. https://independent.academia.edu/JohnHartYoungSandpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495030531337624430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919167141648467219.post-56916594809760257412021-03-15T16:23:15.172-07:002021-03-15T16:23:15.172-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sandpainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495030531337624430noreply@blogger.com
