Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Oldest Buddhist
shrine holds clues to Buddha's birth.
Unlike other prophets,
when Siddhartha Gautama, or the Buddha, was born has never been so clear. It
has only been thought to be some time around between 6th and 3rd
BC in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent.
Since there is no
remaining clear dependable document, archeologists and scientists have been
assuming the time of his life sometime before the oldest temple they discovered
and identified was built. And they have just found an even older than the one
that had been considered as the oldest.
Enjoy reading and
learning how modern science and archeology are trying to study ancient times.
