jesus is buried where?

i wish this very odd story was in more places than the moonie news, aka the washington times:

New Delhi, India, Sep. 12 (UPI) — Israeli citizens were flocking to the Indian cities of Jammu and Kashmir Sunday to see the graves believed to be those of Jesus Christ and Moses.

…A section of the local population believes Kashmiris are one of the lost tribes of Israel. Aziz Kashmiri, the author of the book Christ in Kashmir, insists that the Kashmiri people’s ancestors were one of the 10 lost tribes of Israel and that Jesus died during a visit to the Valley.

those lost tribes of israel turn up everywhere.

Mom: "Ah-na ... have you seen the lost tribes anywhere? I'm late for church."

Anna: "Have you looked between the cushions on the couch mom? Sometimes they end up in there. Or how about under the dresser?"

Mom: "Never mind, I found one, that's all I need. But if you happen to clean, just gather them together so we don't have to look next time, OK?"

Tee Hee that tickles!! :)
Jesus buried in Kashmir? Everyone knows Jesus was buried in the middle of the atlantic sea with hercules and hitler. I can't wait to see those holy bones! I mean come on are we still playing the "let's trivialise Jesus" game? There are many historical accounts of his death and burial right in Jerusalem, we need not even touch the belief by many that he was resurrected.

Its not the first time one has read that(even if its veracity is of no value)

Check this site. Nikolai Notovich was the first to suggest his. Holger kersten's book is also of this view.

Its a theory. Not necessarily true. But its a theory around for a while now. Probably its surprising to see it in mainstream media.

The belief that Jesus visited Kashmir and preached there is hardly trivial: it is an important folk belief in the region, and a rather longstanding one. There is also the view that Jesus visited "East" as a young man, i.e. at some point before the last few years of his life as chronicled in the Gospels (and of course, the notion that he susbequently returned and is buried in Kashmir is consistent with the Quranic view of the crucifixion-- i.e. that Jesus was not crucified; interestingly subsequent Islamic tradition (particularly among Sunnis) identifies Jesus as still living, and as the Messiah who is to come...). [Incidentally Rushdie mentions the Kashmiri connection in Midnight's Children too-- the boatman in/on Dal Lake (I forget his name-- Tai?) claims to have been alive when Jesus visited Kashmir.]
