It is a fascinating discovery but it does seem possible that it is a pre-Buddhist shrine later taken over by Buddhists.

Are there any Greek influences? Has anyone proposed that The Greeks meeting India caused Buddhism? Arguably the Septuagint caused Christianity, what else might the Greeks have done?
