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!
Jesus having been to India is a tadbit more realistic than Japan.
But usually, he's considered to having been there during his youth, and that's what he'd learned from Hinduism and Buddhism that would have shaped his own philosophy. Still quite unplausible, though.
Yes, agreed; but, during his youth, Jesus was in Alexandria, Egypt, learning the science of prayer and miracles at one of the ancient mystery schools there. He became a yoga master and a high initiate of the Order before returning to Judea to begin his ministry.
I think it's realistic to assume that he went to both Egypt and India. (isn't is actually in the Bible that he went to Egypt at some point in his childhood?)
Yes, the Bible tells us that he went to Egypt. Perhaps he did also go to India. He was high born and rather than being the son of a carpenter, he in fact had a legitimate claim on the throne of Judea, which is what ultimately led to his crucifixion. Presumably while in Egypt, Jesus married Mary Magdalene. She was the daughter of King Juba II of Numidia/Mauritania and Cleopadra, who was the daughter of Mark Antony and Queen Cleopadra VII of Egypt. So Jesus and Mary were quite the power couple, who presented Rome with a significant threat/headache in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the Bible - having been compiled under the supervision of Rome during war time - does not tell us the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
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

His missing years last about 20 years, right?
