Srinigar

[poliphilo]

I was thinking about the Jesus tomb in Srinigar and how I can't assess whether it's a fake or not because I don't know how Srinigar works.

People in Kashmir have oral traditions about how Jesus came to their country. OK. In the west if you test an oral tradition to destruction you find- as often as not- that it actually goes back about fifty years. Tops.

But maybe in Srinigar it's different.

The mystic east and all that.

If the tomb were in Rennes le Chateau or even Jerusalem I'd be able to get a handle on it.

But Srinigar is outside my experience. It's not in my 'hood.

I know what a conman sounds like- but only if he's wearing a business suit or a Roman collar. Put him in one of those Islamic robey things and I'm kerfuffled.

I'll have to Google "Aomori".

Fascinating.....

there is an american military
base there where jesus sometimes
dances with mary magdalene at the
officers club and leonardo makes
eyes at the busboy...
uh actually it seems from a bio I
was reading leonardo may not have
been homosexual at all so perhaps
the vice of heterosexuality existed
in the renaissance.

I don't see how we can know anything about Leonardo's sexuality for sure.

I believe he was tried for sodomy and acquited.

well his accusers was a local character
who regularly did that sort of thing as
I recall... but anyway it is immaterial
on one level just rapping a little as
we do in high class american music...
