Burial chambers attest to ancient Jewish presence
A Kerala farmer has discovered ancient burial chambers attesting to a pre-Christian, Jewish presence in India. Report in India 101 (With thanks: Jas)
A historian and conservationist, fittingly named Abraham Benhur, made
a startling discovery on his farm in Kerala.
Hidden underground were
ancient burial chambers unlike anything he had ever seen before. A
little bit of digging, both physical and academic, revealed that the
tombs on his property could be carbon dated back to the year 300 BC.
The
burial chambers were arranged in an East-West direction, meaning these
could only have been the tombs of ancient Christians or Jews. Since the
tombs predated Christianity by a few hundred years, Abraham surmised
that these were the remains of one of the Lost Jewish tribes of Israel,
which had travelled to India so many centuries ago.

This may have been seen before. It goes back to Morsi's rule over Egypt in 2013. One of his Muslim Brotherhood advisors said that Israel would be gone in ten years and the Egyptian Jews were invited to return "home".
