Many of the ''original'' philosophies from ancient Greece borrowed a lot from Indian philosophers and sages at the time as the two places were connected well.
Cynicism
The Indian sect of Gymnosophists exerted considerable influence in Greek literature and acted as models to Cynics. Two traditions deal with encounters between them and Alexander the Great [Bosman, 175-176]. Furthermore there is reason to believe that Indian ascetics traveled a trade route from Central Asia to the Black Sea and interacted at the northern end of it with Black Sea shamans, ultimately influencing Greek philosophy through Diogenes of Sinope (412-323 BC) who seems to have brought India–derived ascetic practices into the Athenian philosophical milieu [McEvilley, 10].
Stoicism
Zeno of Citium, the alleged founder of Stoic philosophy, was a Samkhyin, i.e. he taught in Athens a finished philosophical system that came from India. Most likely Heraclitus of Ephesus was already a Samkhyin, because Zeno adopted his materialistic theory of physics [Baus 2010, 13]. Furthermore the Stoic reliance upon the Cynic ethics – which itself markedly resembles some forms of Indian asceticism – had been widely acknowledged in Laërtius time [Vukomanovic, 166].
Also you can find tons of ancient architecture its just that western media presents India as a shithole with nothing to go to.
The fibanacci code, golden ratio, Pythagorean theorem, machevallnism political like theorists, all had been already discussed.
