Kris/Keris Purva Carita ?

Mabagani, this is not to discount anything else you stated in your post, but, as i am sure you know, "flame daggers, blades with waves" are NOT the identifying element of the keris or kris. The oldest known keris are not, infact, luk blades at all, so the fact that Greco-Roman culture used them does not necessarily imply any real link to the development of the keris
Is it possible? Yes, of course. But IMO, yes a stretch.

Nechesh, yeah probably a stretch considering the early keris were straight forms, just wondering what it would look like if I cited sources as I thought out loud...what are the odds vs. aliens? jk

Well, i think you already know what i think about those alien theories.

You know, I once found a keris out in Roswell New Mexico.

Talk about keris flying out of their scabbards!
