The Buddha may have lived centuries later than some historians have suggested, a dig at his birthplace has revealed.

Archaeologists made the discovery during excavations of an ancient shrine at the Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini, Nepal.

The Unesco world heritage site has long been identified as the birthplace of the Buddha but the dig has revealed artefacts that pinpoint his life to a specific century for the first time.

I love how guessing how old something is turns into fact... humans love to confuse guessing as being factual... nonetheless, interesting I guess...

Yep. Humans love making guesses.
