Synopsis

Where was Jesus and what was he doing from ages 12-30? Why does the Bible leave out this important information? Is there any truth to the myths and legends that proclaim that Jesus visited many other countries? This book contains amazing accounts of Jesus' missing years, based on an old manuscript that was found by the author in a Tibetan lamasery in the 1890's. You will read about his dangerous journeys through Tibet and Kashmir, as you uncover the mystery of the "lost years" of Jesus' life. Complete with maps, commentaries, and references. (This is the third edition from Tree of Life Publications, and successor to ISBN 0960285016 / 2nd ed.)

Présentation de l'éditeur

After the Turkish War (1877-1878) I made a series of travels in the Orient. From the little remarkable Balkan peninsula, I went across the Caucasus to Central Asia and Persia, and finally, in 1887, visited India, an admirable country which had attracted me from my earliest childhood. My purpose in this journey was to study and know, at home, the peoples who inhabit India and their customs, the grand and mysterious archæology, and the colossal and majestic nature of their country. Wandering about without fixed plans, from one place to another, I came to mountainous Afghanistan, whence I regained India by way of the picturesque passes of Bolan and Guernaï. Then, going up the Indus to Raval Pindi, I ran over the Pendjab—the land of the five rivers; visited the Golden Temple of Amritsa—the tomb of the King of Pendjab, Randjid Singh, near Lahore; and turned toward Kachmyr, “The Valley of Eternal Bliss.” Thence I directed my peregrinations as my curiosity impelled me, until I arrived in Ladak, whence I intended returning to Russia by way of Karakoroum and Chinese Turkestan.

Biographie de l'auteur

Notovitch was a Russian doctor who journeyed extensively throughout Afghanistan, India, and Tibet. During one of his journeys he was visiting Leh, the capital of Ladak, near where the Buddhist convent Himis stands. Due to an accident that resulted in his leg being broken he stayed awhile at the Himis convent. Here he saw a scroll that described a man from the west whose description was uncanny and resembled Jesus of Nazareth.
