Jesus in Afghanistan
Reading the comments on the Christological aspects of the Dome of the Rock below, I was reminded of the various Middle Eastern, Indian and Japanese (!) traditions that Jesus survived crucifixion and went on to travel, live and teach in the East for around 30 years or so.
The specific example I was thinking of was of an Afghani sect that practiced a ‘ring-dance’ they claimed was taught by Jesus and I know have found the source of this info. It is from O M Burke’s Among the Dervishes
Another good source is the work of Holger Kersten which lists many fascinating avenues for potential research. There is also a great Fortean Times Article from their archives.
