description: "Alois Anton Führer was a German Indologist who worked for the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). He is known for his archaeological excavations, which he believed proved that Gautama Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal. Führer's archaeological career ended in disgrace as \"a forger and dealer in fake antiquities\", and he had to resign from his position in 1898."
