Bizarre discovery of the day: the “Tomb of Jesus” (Kirisuto no haka), Shingō vil
Bizarre discovery of the day: the “Tomb of Jesus” (Kirisuto no haka), Shingō village, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.According to the local Sawaguchi family’s claims, Jesus “did not die on the cross at Golgotha. Instead his brother, Isukiri, took his place on the cross, while Jesus fled across Siberia to Mutsu Province, in northern Japan. Once in Japan, he changed his name to Torai Tora Daitenku, became a rice farmer, married a twenty-year old Japanese woman named Miyuko, and raised three daughters near what is now Shingō. While in Japan, it is asserted that he traveled, learned, and eventually died at the age of 106. His body was exposed on a hilltop for four years. According to the customs of the time, Jesus’ bones were collected, bundled, and buried in the mound purported to be his grave”Another mound nearby is said to contain relics from Jesus’ mother and brother. The claims started in 1933 after the discovery of supposed "ancient Hebrew documents detailing Jesus’ life and death in Japan" that was supposedly the testament of Jesus which have conveniently vanished since. -- source link
