The Tibetan Buddhists were intimately connected with Vedic culture which in turn had a history of travelling far and wide and plying the oceans. Our word, 'Navy', 'Nautical', is from Sanskrit 'nau' which means 'ship', (and I suspect that is where the name of 'Noah' in the Bible comes from...'Noah' mean't 'Mariner') Tibetan Buddhists explored and sent envoys far and wide to gain and spread knowledge , but more importantly their anscestors may have had a more unbroken global link which is connected to the ancient stone circles found in northern Europe, India and elsewher. There is a Buddhist text from that region which mentions an ancient Earth Power center in England, known now as Glastonbury. It was considered by the writers of the text to be an important Chakra of spiritual power. This suggests flow of information and knowledge not previously acknowledged by modern scholars.
