The talk that I am hearing from different directions is that there are up to 10,000 unpublished Sanskrit manuscripts floating around in China, preserved in Tibetan monasteries and now in the hands of museums. Just let that number sink in 1/

"1521: The Quest for Love and Freedom" is available on Plex with Danny Trejo as Magellan. Unfortunately, the movie makes Magellan's translator Enrique a Spanish soldier, instead of a Malay slave. (At least Enrique gets the girl.) watch.plex.tv/watch/movie/15… imdb.com/title/tt12802672
