sea route was in use even during Asoka's Gupta period.....rather many thousands years earlier.... Indians had largest ships in the world.

Mesopotamia must have gained from Indus civilization in kind but Indus had more of everything that it must have gained in money form.

[@sukalpas3636]

Christ visited India to learn Bhuddist preachings and became messenger.

[@sukalpas3636]

Alexander stolen many Indian books and scholars back to Greece......so there the case lies in the knowledge of mathematics., Origen of golden egg, amrita, aduras, etc........there can't be a coincidences of inventions. what so ever.
