Kunlun has about 10,000 meanings, also in Chinese. I recently added it to Wikipedia,[0] when reading a 1000 year old text I am translating[1] that seems to reference eastern Indonesia with the name.
昆侖國 ("The Country of Kunlun"), an ancient Chinese term apparently broadly used to refer to a general swathe of southerly island Southeast Asia circa the Moluccas, equivalent to period Sanskrit Dvipatala or Pali Dipattala (also Jipattala, Nipattala).

>'President Yuan Shikai referred to it obliquely, calling China “the famous descendant from Kunlun Peak,” which Chinese mythology locates in the far, far West' //
Is interesting enough IMO to warrant an initial investigation.
The radiographic data is another facet, that could be explained by getting the ores from Egypt.
>there is no reason to construct a hypothesis //
Surely there's always a reason to construct a hypothesis as that's the basis of the modern scientific method. One creates a hypothesis that can be falsified, the longevity of the hypothesis then indicates the verity of the claims.
Candelabras exist in many cultures but if you find a picture showing a 7 branched one (of the right form) there's a compelling reason to hypothesise that it's a menorah.
Do you real consider it implausible that people traveled from one part of the world to another and has a major influence on the other's cultural development.
