Is there any dumber than assigning nationality to historical figures who were not only born centuries before said countries and borders existed, but before the idea of "nationality" and "nation" existed?
Yes. Assigning nationality to mythical figures and mythical kingdoms.
@obu - AMAZING comprehensive FREE online courses on a variety of topics. I'm doing one on the words of the #Buddha and I am loving it. #Education#OnlineLearning
While living in #India, I taught a course that took me several times to the Deer Park in Sarnath, one of the four holiest sites in #Buddhism. It is where the #Buddha taught his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths after achieving enlightenment. The event was called "The First Turning of the Wheel of #Dhamma." This event is being commemorated today (1 August) this year by many Buddhists.
