Thanks to him for pointing this out. Alex is correct that the dates are not consistent (off by 3,300 years) and I do not have any additional evidence for a correlation.

Everything I’ve read has put Buddha at 2,500 years old, but the articles state the changes occurred around 5,800 years ago. How are you seeing a correlation? I’m curious because if you have something else to back this up, and I just missed it by accident, it could also lend credence to the idea of an ‘axial age’ at that time when a number of prophets arose independently around the ancient world.
