This is off topic, but during my obsession with the discovery of the Everest route in 1921, I was fascinated to learn that at that time there were Tibetan and Nepalese (or just one sorry, need to fact check) that had elements of Greek culture embedded in their leadership roles, holding a conch and a trident, on a mountain! So neat that these cultural quirks could last so long, assuming it really is a relic of some cultural sharing.
