The Kashmir Tomb The Tomb of Jesus IN KASHMIR Read more: themuslimtimes.org/2013/02/countries/india/roza-bal-the-tomb-of-jesus-jesus-in-kashmir-the-lost-tomb#ixzz2cMxkZseh The burial place of Jesus in Kashmir is known to the locals as Rauzabal, meaning the Honored Tomb. It is known as the tomb of Yuz Asaf, which may be of Buddhist derivation (see link) or possibly from Yusu or Yehoshua (Jesus) the Gatherer. Local tradition states that the entombed was a prophet of Ahle-Kitab, or People of the Book, and his name was Isa - the Quranic name for Jesus. The prophet Yuz Asaf came to Kashmir from the West (Holy Land) in the reign of Raja Gopdatta (c 1st century A.D) according to the ancient official documents held by the current custodian of the tomb. Some of the most extensive research on the tomb has been conducted by the now retired famous historian and former Head of Archaelogy for State of Kashmir, Professor Fida Hassnain. The tomb is Jewish, as attested by the direction the grave is lying. Next to the grave is a footprint engraved in stone, an artistic rendition of the wounds of crucifixion.
