I saw this documentary talking about the red head person worshipping the Buddha.
Monastries were all along the silk route and the caves and carvings and paintings
showed red head person bowing to Buddha.
ALso there were inscriptions of sanskrit on the cave walls and the expert looked at it and said it was <b>an EUROPEAN language</b>!
It was to claim the heritage of that place.
