Voltaire - I am convinced that everything has come down to us...

I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges, - astronomy, astrology, metempsychosis, etc. It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry.. But he would certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins' science not been long established in Europe.
