Yeah it definitely is a rendition of Buddha - I draw similar links to the Chinese zodiacal system as to the Sumerian/Babylonian base-12/base-60 systems.
I’m pretty much convinced of the notion of a “common cultural ancestor” interacting with all of these “totally unrelated” groups. Which explains all the knowledge and building techniques which these groups “shouldn’t have” had. I think astrology is a lot more important than we give it credit for these days, though that’s more a gut feeling than anything.
Many of the greatest masters (especially in the Eastern traditions) spent time in seclusion on mountaintops.
I think the notion of chi is closer to reality than not, and the various schools have a long tradition of associating mountains with concentration of energy to benefit training/healing/etc
And yeah. I’m not sure how much of “the record” to trust, but even going by mainstream numbers, we’ve been “anatomically modern” for 300,000 years, and they also unironically believe that the first time society could have begun was ~6-8,000 BC.... so we were what, identical to modern man, but we spent ~290,000 years jerking off in caves? It’s fucking retarded, but what’s worse is that suggestions otherwise seem “crazy” to most
