Hanuman looks as powerful and as beautiful as I do. When I squint. Real hard.

Great retelling of this classic tale. It’s good to be back, Jayshree!

Lord Rama nd Sita greatest love story ever old. Myths are based on truth beliefs. Bridge built across Indian Ocean from India to Ceylon(Sri Lanka) seen from satellites. Thank you for this continuing story Jayshree.

There was a god - Thoth / Djehuti - in Egyptian lore who had a monkey as one of his physical manifestations. A patron of writing, scribes, learning. I think that Thoth & Hanuman are the only 2 examples of simians in religion, lore, legend, globally.

There was a monkey king in the Buddhist epic, Journey to the West, but he wasn't Hanuman, if I remember correctly.

Interesting, I should look that up. I am not aware of any in Buddhist epics. Thanks for sharing!
