History इतिहास 🇺🇲🛕 🚀(@ShreeHistory):Buddha in the temple of Isis! As excavated in 2022. At Berenike, a Red Sea port in Roman Egypt, archaeologists discovered a Buddha statue in the forecourt of a temple dedicated to Isis. A Sanskrit inscription and Satavahana coins were also found in the temple. These discoveries show that commercial links across the Indian Ocean connected people and religious traditions as well as commodities. The excavators interpret the Buddha as a locally carved dedication by merchants from India. ( Image courtesy: University of Warsaw)

History and AI. I work in AI and history is my hobby. I fact check the history to fix the colonial narratives using science, mathematics, technology and logic.
