Did Jesus’ Disciple Really Visit Ancient India?

The Stratigraphy of Faith: The Archaeological Detective Story For centuries, Western historians completely dismissed the 3rd-century Syriac text 'The Acts of Thomas', categorizing the story of Apostle Thomas traveling to India to build a palace for King Gondophernes as pure gnostic fantasy. That consensus held until the 1830s, when Charles Masson unearthed thousands of ancient coins in the ruins of Afghanistan and Northwest India bearing the name 'Gondophernes' (Vindaferna)—proving the king was real. In this documentary, we explore the deep layers of Indian civilization—from the Indus Valley and Vedic rituals to the Upanishadic rebellion, Buddhism, and Bhakti—and analyze how early Christianity integrated into India's ancient tapestry. 📌 Timeline & Chapters: 00:00 - The Mystery of The Acts of Thomas 00:38 - 1830s: Charles Masson's Shocking Coin Discovery 01:05 - King Gondophernes Was Real 01:55 - The Deep Stratigraphy: Indus Valley Civilization 02:37 - Vedic Rituals, Upanishads & The Rise of Buddhism 04:15 - The Bhakti Revolution & Adaptability 04:50 - When First-Century Faith Met Ancient India 05:37 - The Syrian Christians of Kerala If you enjoy research-backed historical documentaries, please Like, Share, and Subscribe to Study logi! #AncientHistory #Archaeology #IndianHistory #ApostleThomas #Gondophares #StudyLogi
