[Buddha-l] Buddha's birthplace in India (Piprahwa)?

[Jo]

Now that Mr. Peppe has exposed these treasures on a National Geographic
film, he probably needs bank-type security to save them!

Meanwhile National Geographic, as usual, goes all out with loud muzak and
clichés like, "once and for all". Arg.  This film cannot be considered a
"documentary film"--it is an entertainment film that presents some
information about a subject--the stupa relics in question.
What bothers me is that Neil Peppe's grandfather drove a  trench right
through the stupa! In those days archaeological tech was undeveloped.
Historically, it was stupa-robbers who dug for Buddha remains.
