Yet we have Arabs and Arabia is very close to India which then close to
China and so forth. I think as long as the Western world could have had
contact, even if it did not come back to Europe, run with it. After all if
that "fateful trip" in 1492 was meant to make a short cut then we know they
already had a long way around to Asia well before then and know telling who
they would have met. When archaeologists began digging up Berka in Sweden
they found an eighth century Buddhist idol.
My thought has long been the SCA is too hell bent on some scholars
writing than on putting two and two together by itself.
So your persona would have to be a Japanese

This was not for me. I am quite European even very early.
