Similar beliefs about Yuz Asaf

Similar beliefs are held about Yuz Asaf by a wide variety of people and groups. Other local beliefs about Yuz Asaf include that he married a woman called Marjam, that is, Mary, who bore him a number of children, and that he lived to be between 105 and 110 years of age before he died. It is also claimed that Jesus' mother, Mary, died when he was 38 years old, and is buried nearby in the town of Murree, in Pakistan), where her burial place is called Mai Mari da Ashtan.

Yuz Asaf's teachings are often compared with those of Jesus in form. These beliefs about Yuz Asaf have also been adopted by people in the New Age movement, and by readers of the recently discovered Talmud Jmmanuel. New Age describes a broad movement characterized by alternative approaches to traditional Western culture. ... Talmud Jmmanuel is a purported ancient text that is described by its promoters as the source text (often termed as the Logia, or the Q document) of The Gospel of Matthew. ...

Other writers, such as Gene Matlock and Suzanne Olsson, have also sought to demonstrate links with Buddhism, claiming that the Jews originated in India and that Jesus visited India several times during his life. Olsson's research indicates that Yuz Asaf means "son of Joseph", and that "Iosaphat" is also a translation of "Buddha". Olsson has pointed out that Yusufzai is the name of a tribe in Afghanistan who still maintain ancient Israelite customs. To them the word means "child or children of Joseph."^{[citation needed]} To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

However, in the Bible, the name Yuz (short form of his name) Asaf (his family name) is not mentioned. According to the Bible, Jesus went up to Heaven after he rose from the dead. No mention is made of his alleged travels to Jammu and Kashmir. The Acts of Thomas, which wasn't included in the Bible as it was a Gnostic text, is partly about Jesus' and Thomas' trip to India, and Thomas arrived in the southern part of India in 52AD after completing a building contract in Taxila for the king there. Taxila was a university city on a trade route, and a center of Buddhism. Thomas was a well known figure in India and Sri Lanka^{[citation needed]} and founded the Mar Thoma branch of Christianity there. A Roman Catholic cathedral marks the location he was murdered and buried in Mylapore. This Gutenberg Bible is displayed by the United States Library. ...

But supporters of some of these theories also claim that a 17th century text, Tarikh-i-Kashmir by Khwaja Hassan Malik , records an inscription which reported that Yuz Asaf entered Kashmir in the year 78. However, this inscription is now illegible or lost, while critics note that the text is not available for general study. Another inscription is said to have existed at the Temple of Solomon (in Srinagar) which, it is claimed, was carved by Jesus and St. Thomas when they allegedly visited and repaired the Temple. The court of King Gondopharnes (or several other spellings of his name including Gundaphorus) in nearby Taxila also records the visit of Thomas to the area prior to 52AD ^{[citation needed]}. Another point of interest is that an alleged gravesite of Moses exists about 70km north of Srinagar and is often included in tourist excursions in the area.^{[citation needed]} (16th century - 17th century - 18th century - more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 17th century was that century which lasted from 1601-1700. ...
