10. What if Jesus Christ was a Kurd?

Just asking. I am mystified by the Dead Sea Scrolls and Coele-Syria (the
hollow formed by the Dead Sea). I am curious about the King of Cappadocia.
We may lose so much in the disintegration of this mysterious cult.
Excuse me, I do not know.
There was several Chrestus' in the Mithridatic dynasty which included this
"King of Cappadocia" who played a big part in Josephus stories and he (the King
of Cappadocia) was involved in the histories of the gospels.

Of course the Kurds may not have existed back then so my theories
may well be baseless. But, the Kurds are humans and I may not even like
them.

I dunno.
