Entire Backstory of Buddha shown is wrong and has no connection to how he was or what he became.
##Buddha Birth##
To start with , Buddha was born as human. Prior to his birth , It is said that he was inscribed as 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu ( A god from hindu Mythology) in Hindu text books ,though some say he was confirmed as Lord Vishnu incarnation after he was enlightenment. In Holy text book, It was inscribed that , In kaliYug, when Violence will spread in house to house or from house to house , Lord vishnu will take birth as Buddha .
##His birthplace##
He was Born in Southern Region of Nepal not Northen India. If you search for ancient Maps created by Greeks , You will find Nepal as a Nation written as Nepul or Nepaul . But You won't find India. It is because , India wasn't a nation or state until british left the southern Asia. India was written as a Sub-Continent by Greeks ; Same as Europe and Africa. To be factual India isn't written anywhere in history in Hindu history( Coming from hindu who also knows to read Sanskrit) . This name was given by Greeks to divide the region for their Study.
# India history#
India a Nation was formed when british invaded the southern asia conquring every state they can . They kept the Name East India Company as per Greeks Writings. They failed to win Bhutan (A nation ) and were stopped by Nepal before they could reach China ( which was said to be their main plan from start ; to make a route for invasion of china)
*Part of Nepal being Included in East india company
East India Company Won 2/5 of Nepal after fighting countless time in same place for a long time and Different regions at the same time . Those regions also got included in East India Company, What we know today as India .
Note: These conqured regions donot Include JanakPur and Lumbini (Kapilvastu); Ancient shakya Kingdom.
###Path of Buddha towards Enlightment###
##Buddha and his life in KingDom##
Buddha was said to have destiny of King. He was inside Royal palace till he was 16 or 18 or 20+ . He had never seen life outside and had not learned about any kind of Suffering.
When he was taken out of his palace for the First time with his Driver and Some Gaurds. He saw a old Man waiting to see him in side(two vertical line ; giving him path to passby through middle while seeing Prince ) . Prince was told that he (the old man) has become Old . Prince didn't understood what he was told.
While his visit, in his kingdom he saw some people ready to burn a dead person ( In Hindu Community, they give Dead Person's body farewell by Burning their dead body). Prince asked what happened to that Dead person . Prince was told , that person Soul has left his body and they are giving his Physical Body a farewell (Ritual) .
He also saw poverty , pain and different things in his visit to his kingdom for very first time .
This made Siddhartha Gautam think about life and he left palace to search for meaning of Life.
