Buddhists lived in Egypt during Roman times, a 1st-century Buddha statue found in Berenike suggests.
A 1,900-year-old statue of the Buddha — discovered at the ancient Egyptian port city of Berenike, on the coast of the Red Sea — likely belonged to a transplant from South Asia, according to archaeologists.
The newfound statue dates to between A.D. 90 and 140, said Steven Sidebotham , a history professor at the University of Delaware who is co-director of the Berenike Project, told Live Science in an email. The statue dates to a time when the Roman Empire controlled Egypt. There was considerable trade between Egypt and India during that time, the ministry noted, adding that ships from India would bring ivory, pepper and textiles, among other products, to Egypt. It's possible that the Buddha statue was made locally by people from South Asia living in Berenike, Sidebotham said.
