Tomb Shows Peru’s Moche Were Christ’s Contemporaries

03 Nov 09

LIMA – A tomb at the Sipan archaeological site in northern Peru confirms that the ancient Moche people were contemporaries of Christ, scientists say.

The head of the Huaca Rajada Sipan Archaeological Complex, Luis Chero, told Efe Monday that tombs are often found there that date back to the third century, but this burial confirms that the Moche or Mochica civilization existed before that.

“Now with this tomb we have evidence of the early Moche, of their origins, which is to say from approximately 100 B.C.,” he said.

The discovery of a young warrior’s tomb was presented to the press two months ago, but the new studies at the place it was found have brought further information to light as to its antiquity and also the age of the warrior, though other studies must be done to corroborate the findings.


[qoute]In 1987, the archaeologist Walter Alva surprised the world with his discovery of the magnificent Royal Tombs of Sipan in the coastal province of Lambayeque, and since then excavations have continued at the site.

Christ was an alien too.

I tend to think Christ was an alien also, that star that was hovering over Bethlehem was a spacecraft.

Er... "Contemporaries of Christ" means that these guys were around at roughly the same time Jesus was supposedly wandering around in Judea. Not that they were hanging out together.

If, (BIIIIIG "if") Jesus decided to pay a visit to the Americas, he obviously didn't catch on anywhere.

Christ and Jesus are not really the same, but that's a whole different story lol.

Somehow I don't think Jesus came over to the Americas. How odd is it that there are reports that he's been everywhere. England, India, Pakistan, France, the USA..

So, if you really want to know, you should check his passport.

Harte

uh...i highly doubt that "jesus traveled to south america" is what the scientists were getting at. and if he did travel, he must not have been that good of an evangelist seeing how long it took for christianity to take hold.

That's only if Christ was preaching Christianity. Many believe that what we today view as Christianity is not Christ's message at all, merely the methods of control adopted by the rebranded Roman Empire as they "converted" to Christianity.

The Bible says that in the end days, there would be false Christs who would mislead the people. Could that be referencing modern "christianity"?

You are right TheIrvy Christ from my understanding was not a Christian and didn't practice it, not sure when it came about.

The Mormon faith is based on Christians in America 2000 years ago. Some of them try to link a migration of Israelites to the Mayans.

Not a shred of evidence to support this nonsense.

I'm going to write a book on JC's visit to Atlantis. Should be a hot seller.

Some will actually believe it.

The sequel will be JC goes to Nibiru.

Actually, jesus would be rolling over in his grave (so to speak) if he could see the religion that claims to follow him...

He specifically told his disciples to not spread the gospel among the gentiles - or the Samaritans, for that matter. His teachings were for Jews, and Jews only, and he would probably be disgusted to see a bunch of pig-eaters with foreskins claiming to follow it all.
