"I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges, - astronomy, astrology, metempsychosis, etc." "It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry... But he would certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins' science not been long established in Europe..."
Friedrich von Schlegel (1772-1829) German philosopher, critic, and writer, declared in 1803:
"Everything without exception is of Indian origin.." "whether directly or indirectly, all nations are originally nothing but Indian colonies."
