SiTU MUSEUM OF MYSTERIES: THE COSMIC BUDDHA

Statue Buddha Ancient Surface

The so-called ‘Cosmic Buddha’ is a life-sized limestone rendering of an ancient monk, the numerous drawings on the limestone statue have puzzled researchers and historians for years. In previous years, experts tried to decipher the numerous illustrations on the statue by making rubbings of the sculptures surface with ink on paper, but this technique proved to be dangerous for the statue since ink stains were left behind on the surface of the ancient stature. This is why researchers looked for alternative methods in order to decipher its secrets.
