RE: your article on the Buddha statue: "But Yin cast doubt on the claim that the statue represented a Buddhist deity."
"I am not a historian. But the 'iron man' does not look like a Buddha to me from my cultural background," he said. "It looks more like a warrior with a sword ... (a) resemblance of Genghis Khan. ... I have never seen a Buddha with a sword or knife."
What knife? - Not only is he not a historian, he clearly doesn't know how to read a photograph! The "Knife" he sees is simply the hand holding a rounded object, and below it the statue's foot pointing down (as is consistent with the correct pose, one foot pointed down & the opposit palm open facing up). Any doubt cast on the identity of the statue ought to at least be based in fact & not on a careless interpretation of a picture by someone who self identifies as not qualified to make the pronouncement to begin with.
