Flying Apsaras/angels are one of the most distinct Buddhist imagery from the historic periods, not not they are seen in India but n western asia/persia and greco roman arts and later in the christian arts, a seal from Indus valley civilization excavated from Ur, Iraq depicts flying apsara type imagery which indicates Buddhist arts connection to Bronze age period

Wasn't Indus valley civilization much before any of the religions?
