If you mean have I heard a more outlandish claim about Jesus Christ, the BBC broadcast a documentary some years ago reporting that some believe Jesus is buried in the Rozabal Tomb in the city of Srinagar, Kashmir, India, where he died at the age of 120 years, after living and preaching for many years in Kashmir.
The British forensic historians, Wilson and Blackett, in their book, "Where Jesus Is Buried" (Cymroglyphics), suggest that Jesus may have accompanied other members of The Holy Family to Britain in AD37 after having survived crucifixion and is buried in South Wales.
If you mean have I heard a more outlandish claim about Japan, no I have not!
I've been wanting to go there for years. So it works, I guess. :-)
I both love and hate the total disregard for facts that most Japanese people have when history is concerned. It brings amusing things like the Tomb of Christ (also, I can see the location Momotaro's actual Oni cave from where I'm typing this right now), but also much more concerning ones, like the general belief in the population that Japan mostly was the victim during WW2.
Fascinating story! I was born in Japan and spent my early childhood there but was unaware of this myth! Admittedly I'm now intrigued and wish I could visit this village. I wish Japanese festivals and temples! <3
