>This sleeping Buddha may have been buried centuries ago against the threat of invading Muslim armies. Now what do you do there? Let the largest reclining statue ever created sleep on under the sand or bring it back for the hope of a ravaged world?<

Obvious, really, Littlestone: let sleeping gods lie...:-)
