the oldest man ever found intact that dated to the
prehistoric era, and he had tattoos. And there
were also the Egyptians who were masterful
tattooists. Usually only the upper class, priests
and priestesses h...

Even during Gautama's life conversions to Buddhism
were common in the small community where it was

it was like to suffer, were able to identify with
Buddha's philosophies on pain and sorrow. Since
the Buddha never asked to be worshiped as a god,
common people may have found the religion less
