Buddhism originated 2,500 years ago. Depending on the age of the cave it's possible. The article doesn't tell much about what else they may have found.

What is more mysterious is that a clear pool was discovered under the kang, but archaeologists could find no trace of a spring in the stone floor.
Very interesting and too cool!

One of the interesting things in Archaeology is how modern man constantly has been underestimating previous man and how previous man keeps proving them wrong.

In a way reminds me of the liberal elite who forgot that there is wisdom in history and who now believe they evolved to some kind of higher plain and are able to solve all the world's problems by using massive governments.

Hopefully we'll prove them wrong too. (Before it's too late.) ( Don't feel like waiting a few hundred years. Call me impulsive.)

I have a pretty harsh view of orthodox Archaeology when it comes to Egyptology and the like. We keep thinking we are the pinnacle of all that man has achieved, and except for the rare archaeological heretic, we don't consider the possibilities that there is more to this Earth and the story of humanity than we currently know.
