1. There was community of Therapeuts at Alexandria.
2. Septuagint was compiled in committee in Alexandria under direction of Ptolemy II.
3. Ptolemy II Philadelphus is recorded by Pliny the Elder (NT propagandist) as having sent an embassy to the Sandrokottos court.
4. Titus' guru Apollonius of Tyana (Pythogorean) also had an express relation to india; in fact this is what mcellivey's work was all about.
5. The relationship between Titus and Apollonius is enigmatic. Apollonius is placed on trial by Domitian.
6. Pythagoras is vegetarian, depicted with turban, etc
7. Buddhism advances in all directions except west, where there is a void taken in by Christianity.
There are simply too many intersections. In normative envorment, Mara tranforms into the (un)principled Satan. Remember we are told there is no Satan in "Judaism" - actually it is a most intriguing admission for an "abrahamic". Buddhist influence and any attributed/imagined geopolitical objectives of buddhism are ecclipsed with the counter-fashioning of Christianity.

Finally, we have the following account of the meeting of an Indian with Socrates:
  <i>Eusebius preserves a tradition, which he attributes to a contemporary, the
  well-known writer on harmonics Aristoxenus, that certain learned Indians actually
  visited Athens and conversed with Socrates. They asked him to explain the object
  of his philosophy, and when he replied, âan inquiry into human affairsâ, <b>one of
  the Indians burst out laughing. âHowâ, he asked, âcould a man grasp human things
  without first mastering the Divine?â </b>If Eusebius is to be believed, we must
  revise many of our preconceived notions about early intercourse between the two
  countries.</i>[8]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
