The Buddha's BLUE eyes

The Science Behind Blue Eyes
The Future Buddha Maitreya will also be Central Asian
Early research from the University of Copenhagen studied 800 men and women from several countries with blue eyes.

The team found that all the participants have the same DNA sequence for blue eyes due to a genetic mutation that took place an estimated 10,000 years ago.

“Originally, we all had brown eyes,” Professor Hans Eiberg from the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, argues in the study.

“But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a ‘switch’ which literally ‘turned off’ the ability to produce brown eyes.”

The OCA2 gene formerly called the P Gene is a gene code that produces a pigment called melanin, according to scientists with Medline Plus.

Melanin is the substance that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Scientists believe the mutation altered the amount of melanin produced in the iris of the eyes.

Because the melanin concentration is too low to produce brown eyes, blue eyes are produced instead.

Origin of Blue Eyes: Ancient "Devas" and Their Royal Descendants (humansarefree.com)

First human representation of the Buddha
How could a dark Dravidian Indian have blue eyes? Anything is possible. But the historical Buddha -- the Scythian Sage/Prince Siddhartha Gautama or Shakya-muni -- was neither dark (he was golden skinned and fair), nor Dravidian (but Indo-Aryan/Indo-Iranian), nor Indian (but Central Asian from the region of modern Afghanistan/Pakistan, which in ancient times was called Gandhara) in the south extending to Ukraine in the north, the real "Middle Country" (possibly a reference to mythical Agartha) between East and West. Many Central Asians have blue, green, and hazel eyes. See the "Story of the Lineage" (translation by Rhys Davids). His first anthropomorphic representation (rather than as a symbol of enlightenment or the path such as the bodhi tree or Dharma wheel) was from near his hometown, likely Bamiyan (one of his three seasonal capitals/hometowns along with Mes Aynak and Kabul/Kapilavastu), as made famous in Gandharan/Bactrian (Greco-Buddhist) art.

Blue is the second most common eye color globally, with an estimated 8 to 10% of people having blue eyes. A majority of these people are of European descent.

However, Black people can be born with blue eyes even though it’s pretty rare.

To understand how this uncommon occurrence can happen, we must first look at the origins of blue eyes, which scientists say is a fairly newer phenomenon. More
