Aesop's are direct copies of the buddhist jataka tales. This is only acknowleged because the congruency is so obvious, unlike the case for more philosophical influence where the one-way exchange from India can be more easily obfuscated. The Jewish people had one captivity in babylon (Abaraham) from where they were freed by the Persians - who, in turn, are almost definitely derived from interior India. The influence probably stems back all the way back to the babylonian captivity. (The other Jewish captivity was in Egypt (Moses).
Alot of this was panned out in the old Indictraditions forum and also sporadically in the RISA list archives. Both forums have been gutted by vested interests. I guess we are starting again from scratch. This is explosive material as far as gora self-perception goes. Another thing is that Italy is about 25% Jewish origin as regards genetics.
