"This site is devoted to demonstrating that
Jesus Christ physically survived the
crucifixion as an 'ordinary' human being,
then traveled eastwards to join Jewish
tribes that had been scattered to the

After surviving the crucifixion, Jesus Christ
arrived in Kashmir, where he took up residence
for the remainder of his life. There he
ministered to Israelite tribes of the area,
continuing to preach. The Negaristan-i-Kashmir
book says that he eventually married a woman
named Maryan, who bore him children. He died
at the ripe old age of 120 years. His tomb [see
picture of his tomb on our home page] is
located in the Mohala Kan Yar district of the
capital city of Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir,
Northern India, and is called the Roza Bal
("The Site of the Honored Tomb").

teach it. The authorities opposed this and
decided to crucify him. Jesus' brother,
Isukiri, volunteered to die on Jesus' behalf .
Christ returned to Japan at the age of 37 and
ultimately settled in Japan, passing away at
the age of 106. The remains of Isukiri were
brought to Japan and entombed, accounting
