Jesus among the Nagas

 

Ha ha ha, I´m late to this story, but here we go! A book supposedly classified by the CIA (it really wasn´t) speculates that Jesus lived in Nagaland during his famed sojourn in India. After returning to Judea, he was lifted up by a UFO. Or something! Might return to this conspiracy theory in a later blog post. The link below goes to a rather notorious British tabloid. Not sure what the Nagas think of all this... 

"Jesus was a scholar in India picked up by a UFO"

Global fall

 

More like summer!

"A Year on Planet Earth" is a four-part nature documentary released in 2022. I just watched the fall or autumn episode. It´s pretty eclectic and follow very different animals all over the world. It´s not even clear whether it´s always "fall" in the various locations.

Elephants in Africa, grizzlies in the Yukon, chipmunks in Quebec, muskoxen in Norway, Amur falcons chasing swarming termites in Nagaland, and monarch butterflies in both Maine and Mexico...you get the picture. Add zillions of crabs on Christmas Island and you´re done! 

I think we´ve seen most of this before, tbh, but it was a nice diversion from the election drama in a certain North American nation...

Scheduled castes and Afghan guerrillas

As a kid, me and my best friend collected stamps. We cherished bogus stamps in particular. Unfortunately, my friend got all the Nagaland stamps. I'm still jealous! I think I still have a few of those magnificent bird stamps from Staffa, though. Somewhere. 

Apparently, one Clive Feigenbaum was behind all these schemes. Good ol' Clivey is described as a "colourful British businessman" by Wikipedia. No argument there. I take it the stamp at this product page comes straight from Feigenbaum's collection? Nagaland is a real place in India, but I doubt it issues its own stamps, although I'm sure the local armed separatists might be interested in the profits from Clive's colourful business operations... 

Thus, we're dealing with another beautiful forgery. And, it seems, another Afghan Hound!
