I saw a photo of a Greco-Buddhist sculpture. I didn't even know that #GrecoBuddhism was a thing. my boy #AlexanderTheGreat was behind it of course, founding cities in Asia left and right and bringing with him the idea that proper worship needs anthropomorphized art. and so the first Buddha statues looked like Greek gods, with curly hair, bedsheet for clothing and a contrapposto stance. #Gandhara
