(6,271 posts)There's very strong evidence for this little known theory, because it alone explains Jesus's blue eyes and Nordic features. Also, since it is very ancient and appears in manuscripts which are exquisitely dusty, it has to be true. This came before the lies you find on the internet.

(6,271 posts)Celsus has a lot of interesting info for those who enjoy poring over ancient documents. The Panthera theory certainly has had its adherents over the years. It's not something Dan Brown just came up with recently. Almost anyone can see it explains all those stained glass portraits of Jesus in European cathedrals. Aryan Jesus, that is.
It also would explain the relatively minimal role Joseph plays in the NT. The venerable gentleman just disappears almost at once. Being a stepdad might be the explanation. It takes an open mind to see these connections.

(6,271 posts)I honestly don't know the names of Celsus's writings, other than 'Celsus's writings. '
IMHO the Pantera or Panthera story was a fabrication of the Jews which was later used by the Nazis to prove that Jesus was an Aryan. It is a true oddity of history.
