The find has important indications over the presence of trade ties between Egypt and India during the Roman era.
abc.net.au/news/buddha-statue-found-in-egypt-points-to-ancient-india-links/102280588A statue of Buddha has been discovered in Egypt's ancient seaport of Berenice on the Red Sea, shedding light on trade ties with India under the Roman empire.
