I would not give up hope, Richard. After all scientists succeded in 
composing a portrait of Jezus of Nazareth from archeological evidence. 
The surprise was that it looked suspiciously like Yassar Arafat.
By comparison the Buddha should look like what, the king of Nepal, 
Musharaf, Mullah Omar? :-)
