Dipanker Buddha in Kathmandu - made of a single stone block

From the archive record

The historic Buddha who lived circa from 563 until 463 BC on earth, was only one Buddha in a long series of Buddha predecessors and yet to come successors. One of the oldest Buddhas is Dipankar - a real Methuselah. Dipankar is said to come from an unknown city with the name of Deepavati. And when he was born a strange light was cast from bright lamps ('dipa'). Thus he was called Dipankar. Dipankar Buddha is said to have lived for a mere hundred thousand years on earth.
