Are there Ape-Human Hybrids? (BBC video)

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed [spiritu, spirit] into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

- On the Origin of Species, Chp. 14: Recapitulation and Conclusion



Bigfoot as Simple Human-Ape Hybrid
Human-bipedal-primate hybridization would explain the giant yeti or Abominable Snowmen of Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. These yakshis or rakshasas in Buddhist cosmology, such as the famous Yakkha Alavaka, are well known and share many human traits including speech and language.



The only known authentic footage is called the "Snow Walker" video. It was taken by two Himalayan hikers on a 1992 expedition in Nepal. Yetis are part of mountain lore, particularly among the Sherpas.

The West found this out when British expeditions were trying to get to the top of "Mt. Everest" (Nepalese, Sagarmāthā; Tibetan, Jomolungma, "Holy Mother"; Chinese, Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng, "Jomolungma Peak") more than a century ago. British climbers also saw them.

This famous clip depicts an apelike creature walking on two legs struggling through the snow. But yetis are found across the Himalayan range spanning the world's three highest peaks -- Pakistan's K2, Nepal's Everest, and India's Kangchenjunga (Sikkim).

Where is the Yaksha Kingdom?
Wisdom Quarterly edit of "Yaksha" (en.wikipedia.org)

In Buddhist and older Indian mythology, the yakṣa (Pali, yakkha) has a dual personality. On the one hand, it may refer to an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains. On the other hand, it may refer to a darker creature, a kind of ogre, malevolent beast, or ghost that haunts the wilderness and waylays and devours travelers, similar to rakṣasas. Yakṣis or yakṣiṇīs (female ogres, possibly related to the word yetis) are regarded as even more vicious than the males, possibly due to their hormonal and instinctive impulses to protect their young. In Buddhist mythology, they are overseen by the spacefaring "Guardian of the Northern Quarter," a beneficent deva. According to the Mahavamsa, Prince Vijaya encountered the royalty of the yakkhas -- red haired giants in Sri Lanka akin to Steve Quayle's "giant" (nephilim) captured recently in Afghanistan's mountains, which are also part of the Himalayan range.

BBC: Jesus was a Buddhist monk (video)

BBC documentary: "Did Jesus Die?"

() "Did Jesus Die" is a BBC documentary that examines the question the life of a man who has become the most famous figure in history. It looks at ideas around the question until minute 0:25. The examination of ideas takes a logical and grounded turn with surprising conclusions that demonstrate: The three wise men were Buddhist monks who found Jesus (considered a tulku or incarnation of a bodhisattva aiming to become the Messiah/Maitreya or buddha to come). They came back for him around puberty. After being trained in a Buddhist monastery (likely to be Hemis Gompa in Ladakh, India, near Tibet). He spread Buddhist philosophy, survived crucifixion (with the help of apostles and bribed Roman soldiers particularly the one who lanced him and prevented him from drowning in his own bodily fluids), and escaped Israel to the ancient Jewish enclave of Kashmir, Afghanistan where he died and was entombed as a respected sage (St. Issa) at the age of 80 (the same age the Buddha passed into final nirvana).

BBC Documentary: "Jesus Lived in India"


(BBC Worldwide, ) Did Jesus die on the cross or of old age in Kashmir, India? Does the truth destroy the central tenet of Paul's version of Christianity, or does it open Christianity to reveal a "universal" tradition that borrowed liberally from many other traditions? tombofjesus.com

Holger Kersten: "It is simply of vital importance to find again the path to the sources, to the eternal and central truths of Christ's message, which has been shaken almost beyond recognition by the profane ambitions of more or less secular institutions arrogating to themselves a religious authority. This is an attempt to open a way to a new future, firmly founded in the true spiritual and religious sources of the past."


Thus begins Holger Kersten's book Jesus Lived in India. This German book is a thorough, methodical, and authoritative examination of the evidence of Christ's life beyond the Middle East before the Crucifixion and in India and elsewhere after it.

This article is a summary of Kersten's exhaustive research into Christ's travels after the Crucifixion, his arrival in India with the Mother Mary, and finally his death and entombment in Kashmir. Kersten notes the many parallels of Christ's teachings with other religious [such as Buddhism] and cultural traditions and suggests that at least some of these figures may have been one and the same personality.

It is not possible, Kersten asserts, to disprove that Christ went to India. The current information documenting Christ's life [was massively edited with the burning of every known source that contradicts the Church's official story] is restricted to the gospels and the work of Church theologians. One can hardly trust these sources to be objective considering their obvious interest in maintaining the authority of their Church and its grip on the masses.


The Buddhist connection: a tulku, reincarnation, the search for a bodhisattva, and delusions of messianic (Maitreyanic) grandeur?

The Russian scholar, Nicolai Notovich, was the first to suggest that Christ may have gone to India. In 1887, Notovich, a Russian scholar and Orientalist, arrived in Kashmir during one of several journeys to the Orient. At the Zoji-la pass Notovich was a guest in a Buddhist monastery, where a monk told him of the bodhisattva saint called "Issa" [the pronunciation of Y'shua, his Jewish name, still used by Islam to refer to Jesus]. Notovich was stunned by the remarkable parallels of Issa's teachings and martyrdom with that of Christ's life, teachings, and crucifixion.

For about 16 years, Christ traveled through Turkey, Persia, Western Europe, and possibly England. He finally arrived with Mary to a place near Kashmir, where she died. After many years in Kashmir, teaching to an appreciative population, who venerated him as a great prophet, reformer, and saint, he died and was buried in a tomb in Kashmir itself [which is still there and can be visited, but attempts to disinter the body are prohibited by Islam, which has another saint buried there as well, but the area has been scanned revealing a body inexplicably buried according to Jewish custom and contrary to Islamic custom].

(National Geographic) "The Missing Years of Jesus." The years are not "missing" at all; they were carefully edited out by the early Church at various councils. And this has been known by scholars for years even though it has been kept from the Bible-reading public who dismiss this gaping hole in Judeo-Christian history as a perplexing "mystery."
