I have discovered something I believe is significant. It will take some explaining, so(tl;dr implied) here goes The argument: 1. Embedded within Hindu and Buddhist tradition is a type of spiritual/religious symbol known as Mandala . Quoting the wiki page: "Mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल Maṇḍala, 'circle') is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. The basic form of most mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point." In Buddhism in particular, there is a specific Mandala assigned to represent the energy of each deity. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandalas 2. According to Mahayana Buddhist iconography, there are three Bodhisattvas (bodhi = enlightened, sattva = being) placed around the Buddha to protect him: Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani. Quoting from http://goo.gl/4O55u0 : "Each of them symbolizes one of the Buddha's virtues: Manjusri manifests all the Buddhas' wisdom , Av...

The first 2 attached images appear at around 0:21 of this video HANK JOHNSON / 'JAHAN' - The Civilian - Leaked In…: http://youtu.be/p2RyqTR97M8 Hank is said to have stumbled into the temple after escaping from the CBI. The words on the building are in Kannada, a language that is spoken in the state of Karnataka, India(also my home state). 'ಕೈಲಾಸ ಮಂಟಪ' is 'Kailasa Mantapa' or 'Shiva Temple'. On searching a little further, it turns out this particular temple is located in Hubli, Karnataka. (See attached images) Exact location of the temple: Kailasa Mantapa http://goo.gl/maps/c1PVe There are no portals there, unfortunately. What we can say for sure is that Hank was at this location around 40 days ago. Jahan and her father possibly stay in around there as well. (Images are not mine nor do I claim ownership of them) Hope this helps :)

Translation of the few lines in Hindi from 3:22 onwards: Jahan(referring to the artefact): I have it. It is ours now. Background Dude: Good. We are ready. Our wait(/work) is over(or: the time has come). We will not kill him just yet. Hope this helps! INGRESS REPORT | HANK & JAHAN: THE TEMPLE: http://youtu.be/JOoSyl1qFyU http://youtu.be/JOoSyl1qFyU

Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
