I thought budhha was born around 2600 years ago...Either the datings in this cave has been miscalculated or what we know about budhha is wrong.

@nicknath, Where did it say the things related to Buddha found before 2600 BC? It can be inferenced that along with 3000 old human remians, buddha idols as well as something that surrounded life around 10,000 years old were found.
