challenges the "first in time" contention.
Thanks Bucky!

I will check the Gandhari document... it is also important to know what is being challenged... if it is the systematization or the anatta exposition of mind and matter because if the challenge is just for date and historical time the collection of the Pali can result in a long period of time until it was coherently set but once being coherently set, again, it is the first in time.

It is like the elucidation of the DNA. The first ones that coherently bring it into light the DNA were Watson and Crick even when Rosalin Franklin and Erwin Chargaff knew of the helical structure of that molecule but they could not give a coherent and systematized model of it.
