Clarification Notes
. The statues date to between 1000 B.C.E. to 900 B.C.E.
. The image is not of the Buddha statues. There was not an image of the Buddha statues in the original article or any related articles. So, the image used here is a photograph of a Buddha statue created in the late 500s C.E. The link to the original Buddha statue image is in the Reference Links.
