I live on the edge of Exmoor and have long heard that myth. Great to hear it being told again. Don't they say that in myths, theydevelop from a grain of truth. So the romantic in me I likes to believe, this romantic myth.
As you say there is evidence that the Phoenicians traded with the people who occupied the promontory fort at Treen in Cornwall 3,500 years ago. There are stories that he also visted a part of the South of France. It may not be true but as someone with faith and having visited both areas I don’t rule it out. There is something very special about the Glastonbury area that is felt not seen.
From memory, I have read that there has been a Christian Church in Glastonbury from at least 4th century. In the 1st century Glastonbury may have been accessible by water. Due to changes in sea level and silting etc it has long ceased to be. The tradition of Joseph of Arimathea and the young Jesus is very old (notwithstanding self interested embellishments at different times). Maybe.
It's in the realms of possibility that he did visit, but it will always remain a myth unless some substantial evidence is uncovered. It's an interesting video, thanks
Another variation of the legend is that Joseph of Arimathea arrived by sea on the coast below County Gate, west of Culbone, and thrust his staff into the ground to miraculously create the spring at what is now called Sisters' Fountain. Incidentally he supposedly planted his staff into the ground on Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury, where it burst into flower as the "Holy Thorn" tree. Quite impressive for a walking stick. :-D Of course, in the period when he is said to have visited England the sea stretched inland over what is now the Somerset Levels as far as Glastonbury, which at the time was almost an island, which begs the question: why wouldn't he have just sailed all the way there (which in many versions of the story he did, and landed at the foot of Wearyall Hill? Or why would he have landed on the inaccessible, remote Exmoor coast, rather than in Porlock Bay, or at Watchet, Burnham or Bridgwater? Also, Somerset is not a tin mining area, so why would he have sailed up the Bristol Channel that far beyond Cornwall anyway? P.S.- Porlock itself was also a coastal village at one time, and Porlock Bay stretched further inland, but the sea levels dropped so they had to build a new village (Porlock Weir) for their harbour. Porlock itself is now a short distance inland.
This is absolutely brilliant, thank you for sharing all this. So many question marks. Maybe he just thought Culbone was nice? I had a Quick Look for that spring but could find it. I think it might be quite hard to access.
The story favoured by the “experts” in this theory, as I understand it, is that it was not Jesus of Nazareth but his son (by his wife Mary Magdalene, of course) also called Jesus but known as Jesus Justus. The existence of Jesus’ family, of course, has been very much covered up but still emerges occasionally in publications like The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, or even DaVinci code. Joseph of Arimathea could have been his great uncle, or more likely his grandfather i.e. this Joseph is actually the same as Joseph husband of Mary, again obfuscated by the church over centuries. It is certainly plausible that Joseph of A was a tin trader, probably with Phoenician links because the Phoenicians are known to have had such trade with Cornwall in these periods.
"If God exists, I want him to tell me himself. I don't want to hear it from anybody else - and in case you're wondering, that includes you." - Pat Condell -
Brilliant video. Trade routes were very well established 2000 years ago. We will never know if he did. The circumstances for him to travel to what was then Albion were there! So I keep an open mind. However the Victorians did like to make things fit to there view on things as well.
I think you mean Burnham on Sea in Somerset as Burnham on Crouch is in Essex ? Did he visit England ? Odds are that he did. Check out Cornwall's Tunic Crosses and his connections with Pilton , Priddy, Looe and more !
Not so sure about Jesus, but Coleridge the poet certainly knew Culbone. He wrote 'Kubla Khan' in a farmhouse at the top of the hill, and Culbone is thought by some to be behind the famous lines: But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
I believe it. Joseph of Arimathea was looking out for Jesus all his life. Good ol' uncle Joe. Did a good job... grew up to be a very honourable man.... and Jesus liked it in Galilee too, spent time there. Mind you, it is very lovely there, by that sea, particularly at sunrise or sunset.
I don't believe in a Middle Eastern messiah. But An-Geal-Land is definitely the REAL 'holy' land because it's where holy bushes grow and Yew (Jew) trees are native to these holy islands too. Burning bush. Ancient tree worship. And don't get me started on how Edinburgh is really the garden of Eden- borough because I don't want to be found dead in a zipped up, padlocked suitcase.
I thought that the tin traders came to Ictis, or Iktis, which is believed to be St.Michael's Mount, and that itself had a long history of being a place of pilgrimage. Or was Ictis in the lost land of Lyonesse, that stretched from Land's End and the Isles of Scilly and disappeared beneath the sea in a great storm one night?
Its burnham on sea not crouch but brilliant video, i used to be head chef at the anchor hotel in porlock weir lively place and also the ship joseph saiked in was cakked a ship of tarshish
Of course if Yashua & Joseph did visit Cornwall & the West Country it was prior to the Roman Occupation of the island & long before the Anglo Saxon invasion of Britain. So no, Jesus didn't visit England although he may have visited Celtic Britain. That said, I'm more convinced about the theory that Yashua took his "gap years" along the "Silk Road" to India & Tibet where he studied under other spiritual masters. It is also possible he took the "Spice Route" (by sea) to India also.
A. T. Fomenko, and his revelatory book Csar of the Slavs, is worth some study as Jesus did visit Albion, Britain, India, Tibet, and very many other regions of Earth, Peace .......
The monks of Glastonbury Abbey always maintained that Joseph of Arimathaea came to Glastonbury & established some kind of base here following the Crucifixion. Possibly he already had a base- but this transmuted for new purpose ?. Whatever ,the monks of Glastonbury never compromjsed on their assertion that this was a Christian establishment founded by this guy - not renowned for Apostolic recognition else where- even when it became a key Roman Catholic Monastic centre ,albeit the See of Rome never happy with this account perhaps because it referred to a Time when the See of Rome itself didn’t exist as such. Nor on their assertion the Glastonbury Thorn (tree) originated with J of A also :ie it derives from his staff which he banged into the ground to demark his new foundation & which took root. A fairy story surely- albeit it is a species of thorn rare in Britain & unlikely not native tho widespread around Glastonbury where the Locals have ensured its survival by planting it extensively generation after generation Thus every iconoclast who sought to eliminate it( there have been many, Cromwell inc.) thwarted…. Then lo & behold along comes DNA testing which reveals it is exactly the same as a species of Thorn native to.. er.. Judaea! & nowhere else! Joseph would have good reason not to hang around Jerusalem where followers of Jesus mercilessly persecuted post Resurrection and he was evidently very closely associated with Jesus, His family & friends& disciples. Moreover he was affluent allegedly on account of success in the Metal Trading sector. And Britain was then the key source of Tin…. Essential to bronze production.. Thus he could have fled here…?
#banter. It is the opening line from a poem which has been adapted into a very famous hymn called Jerusalem. It is asking the question “did Jesus’s feet once walk on English soil” - “And did those feet in ancient times walk upon England’s mountains green”
He's behind you. Oh no he's not. He's shining up in the sky on his cross, north, east, south, west. With his 12 disciples. January, February, March, April.... Makes more sense than a 'phsysical guy' walking about handing out loaves and fishes to 5000 followers in a desert town of 28 people. Ha ha. But if your a 'Christian' he's more likely to be your hippy daddy in the clouds. Bed time now baby brains.... x
Of course he did. Everybody knows he played wicket keeper for England during the Australian cricket tour in 22 AD. This is back in the good old days when international cricket teams were transported around the planet in alien space craft, drawing their power from a global network of pyramids.
It's two separate stories: One that Jesus came with Phoenician tintraders, the other that Joseph of Arimathea came with the chalice of the Last Supper. Blake clearly refers to the former myth, whereas Christianity can only have been introduced (at a very early date!) after the latter. My credulity is not stretched by the former myth: Joseph may well have sent his trustworthy nephew to accompany the very valuable tin shipment, not as a rebellious teenager but as a 24-year old apprentice carpenter. Christianity was introduced to Britain in the days of the Roman Empire, but took a knock when the heathen Angles and Saxons occupied the areas left in the lurch by the Romans. Famously, the far west of England remained quite Celtic and therefore retained the faith well into Saxon times. These are the Christians which Augustine will have discovered on his expedition to convert the Anglosaxons. Lovely video, though!
Thank you and my goodness me you are an absolute expert in this field. Absolutely fantastic. I need to go to Glasto and explore the Holy Grail stuff more
@@MrCHistorywalks Before you get too involved with that, there is a parallel mythology that the Knights Templar had brought the Chalice of the Holy Blood with them to Béziers in the Languedoc from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem before their dissolution by the French Crown in 1312. Only one of the two myths can be true! I look forward to your musings!
80% of the bronze in the world from the Bronze Age came from these island, tin from Cornwall, copper from north Wales [gt Orem]. But did Yehoshua come here, nice thought,but I doubt it.

Joseph, JESUS CHRIST,'s adopted father being a carpenter & the LORD himself would have acquired similar skills would have made them potentially useful on any potential voyage, just a thought
The short answer … No …. The long answer is No. Britain was only conquered by the Romans in AD 43 ( 10 years after the Crucifixion ). No he did not go to India. He spent his entire life in either, Galilee, Judea or Egypt.. in those days you didn’t just catch a plane somewhere.. leaving your village for the next one was a BIG deal .. wild animals bandits etc
@@ThomasPrior-wv6zn Matthew. No, none of this is in the Bible. This all refers to the lost years of Jesus - from the age of 12 to 29 where there is no written record of what he was up to. Could he have come to England?
Naturally, Jesus would have visited England. After all, his dad is God. And as we all know, God is English - well that is what I was brought up to believe.
Firstly, England did not exist in the early first century AD. Secondly, hardened Roman generals would not have been in Britain in the time of Jesus, so a poor carpenter's son from Palestine.......what are the odds? Thirdly, read Blake's poem properly; the first part is one long, beautiful, rhetorical question, to which the answer is no. In the second part, Blake writes that he will, in any case, strive to establish 'Jerusalem' (i.e. proper Christianity) in England. It's a poem (and now song) of optimism and hope.
Take five sticks and make yourself two navigational aids this is where it’s AT where what’s at I heard you cry, the gate the lions gate a place of ascension a place of deliverance
A heartwarming idea but it seems to be just an idea and on top of that I don’t know how this trip would have produced Christians since Jesus started the movement later.
Very good point! I think the whole St Augustine thing is a bit overblown. Britain had been a part of the Roman Empire for centuries by then. South West England was a bit of a backwater but I am sure some Christian Romans had been there!
@@MrCHistorywalks but your research does show that it is entirely possible he took a work trip there like anyone in the areas in question. But if this happened it was probably more him learning about life in general partly through experiences in England and not him yet teaching about life at that time.
@@expatamerican3234 absolutely. These “lost years” of Jesus are quite fascinating. Where did he go and what did he get up to and how did the experiences of these years shape his future.
The holy (mother)land or homeland is called 'An' (Atl'AN'tis). The people who lived in north western Europe are called Gaels (western part of the greater Phonecian maritime cultures).

Nothing to do with the banking faux nation of the same name that is now filled with Brit-'ish' (Japhetic/Germanic/Mongollian) peoples that until recently where populated by the Britons, the native olive skinned Shemitic/Gaelic/Hibaru peoples. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, lad.
the Romans had not yet invaded England during his life, so he would have been relatively safe as long as he bought gifts for the local chieftains and didn't the lack of showering amongst the population, the warm beer and the stodgy puddings.
Yes he did many times and he came for tin which was mixed with copper to make bronze. He was the son of Caesar and his dad was killed and he came to England to live and became King Arthur with his 12 knights/disciples
Also the romans mined gold yeah I said gold Devon and Cornwall had silver also. Why was he here it was to create a money system which would fortify the new spiritual Roman Empire called the catholic church

Yeah sure, Pontius Pilate wrote about cricifying a fictional man, and the 12 apostles all died defending the story. Makes total sense. 😂😂😂😂 atheists are funny
@@ryanparker4996 I was bashed by my dad as a kid for daring to suggest we miss going to church one time. (He would often react similarly on other occasions when I expressed opinions and ideas.) In adulthood, I did much reading on the historicity of Jesus, and came away with the awareness that he almost certainly didn’t exist. There is almost no evidence for his having existed. Religion should be the choice of adults; children should be treated respectfully: not as putty or criminals.
Jerusalem Hiya. There ARE several books on this subject, but only a few expound the truth, perhaps because they’ve been conditioned to believe certain lies. William Blake will have known the truth, but to expose that truth - even now, let alone in the 18th/19th century - would probably destroy someone’s career! Why is that? “Those feet, in ancient time” referred NOT to Jesus Christ, but to his SON, Jesus Justus, who came to Britain with his UNCLE ‘Joseph of Arimethea’ (a titular name, equivalent to ‘Archbishop’). He was NOT Jesus’ uncle. He was in fact Jesus’ younger brother James. (Jesus had four brothers and two sisters). He and most of the Disciples visited Britain two years after the Crucifixion and were granted twelve hides of land, by King Caractacus, to build the world’s first above ground Christian Church, and provide enough food to enable them to evangelise Britain. YES Britain was the first nation to formally accept Christianity. St Mary’s Church was built in Glastonbury in 67AD. Joseph continued to travel back and forth to the home Jesus’ wife and three children (one girl and two boys), who had settled in southern France with their mother Mary Magdalene. The church doesn’t want you to know that Mary was NOT a prostitute, but a Princess and the Marriage of Cana was THEIR wedding! Jesus’ eldest son, Jesus Justus is said to have visited Britain many times, with his uncle James, and may have helped to build St Mary’s Church. Remember; his father was a carpenter. While evangelising in Lincolnshire, Jesus’ closest friend, Simon Magus (aka Lazarus) was crucified by the Romans, in Caistor, Lincolnshire. St James’ married the daughter of Caractacus and members of the future generations were part of our Royal lineage. Please spread the word of Jesus’ family in Britain.
Obviously not! How can a 'fictional historical character' have visited anywhere? Next week; did Mickey Mouse build Milton Keynes. Sorry guys. You're nuts. It's 2024, not 1624. Grow up.

Be interesting to hear some evidence for the Jesus as described in the Bible.
There is none
.@@MrCHistorywalks Well that reply stopped me in my tracks. Got to be worth a subscription. Cheers.
@@Behyelzebub Welcome Aboard!
Joseph, JESUS CHRIST,'s adopted father being a carpenter & the LORD himself would have acquired similar skills would have made them potentially useful on any potential voyage, just a thought

I really don’t think so
Keep an open mind
Suggest that you keep this idea quiet. Middle Eastern Gentlemen arriving here uninvited on boats are not popular.
Right
No
Keep an open mind!
I don't think he ever left the holy land
Probably yes - but these “lost” years of Jesus are interesting. Maybe he went on a gap year?
went to Eygpt definitely as a child
Britain IS the REAL Holy Land. Go and read some William Communs Beuamont and some Lorraine Evans books.
The short answer … No …. The long answer is No. Britain was only conquered by the Romans in AD 43 ( 10 years after the Crucifixion ). No he did not go to India. He spent his entire life in either, Galilee, Judea or Egypt.. in those days you didn’t just catch a plane somewhere.. leaving your village for the next one was a BIG deal .. wild animals bandits etc
Well said. You never know though!
does it say he did in the bible ?????
King James or original?
@@MrCHistorywalks CATHOLIC HAVNT SEEN OR READ IT IN MATHEW , MARK, LUKE OR JOHN
@@ThomasPrior-wv6zn Matthew. No, none of this is in the Bible. This all refers to the lost years of Jesus - from the age of 12 to 29 where there is no written record of what he was up to. Could he have come to England?
Naturally, Jesus would have visited England. After all, his dad is God. And as we all know, God is English - well that is what I was brought up to believe.
🏴
Yes, he paddled illegally across the Channel, was picked up by border force and taken back to France.
Snore
Firstly, England did not exist in the early first century AD. Secondly, hardened Roman generals would not have been in Britain in the time of Jesus, so a poor carpenter's son from Palestine.......what are the odds? Thirdly, read Blake's poem properly; the first part is one long, beautiful, rhetorical question, to which the answer is no. In the second part, Blake writes that he will, in any case, strive to establish 'Jerusalem' (i.e. proper Christianity) in England. It's a poem (and now song) of optimism and hope.
Well said. It is a fabulous poem. As a landmass it existed
@@MrCHistorywalks But Mr C, England is not a landmass; it's a political, national entity.
@@Caambrinus yes that is correct the landmass that England currently is on existed at the time of Jesus.
Errr. No.
Always keep an open mind
In one word ..NO ..
And more than one word?
@@MrCHistorywalks Ok ..Two words ..Total Nonsense ..
Take five sticks and make yourself two navigational aids this is where it’s AT where what’s at I heard you cry, the gate the lions gate a place of ascension a place of deliverance
I’ll take your word for it
A heartwarming idea but it seems to be just an idea and on top of that I don’t know how this trip would have produced Christians since Jesus started the movement later.
Very good point! I think the whole St Augustine thing is a bit overblown. Britain had been a part of the Roman Empire for centuries by then. South West England was a bit of a backwater but I am sure some Christian Romans had been there!
@@MrCHistorywalks but your research does show that it is entirely possible he took a work trip there like anyone in the areas in question. But if this happened it was probably more him learning about life in general partly through experiences in England and not him yet teaching about life at that time.
@@expatamerican3234 absolutely. These “lost years” of Jesus are quite fascinating. Where did he go and what did he get up to and how did the experiences of these years shape his future.
Jesus didn't start Christianity, his followers did after he was dead.
@@bsa18599 interesting
Yes but proves nothing
Interesting
😂😂😂😂

Did he visit the local pubs, or just turn water into stout?
Would that be a great thing
Obviously not. 'England' did not exist in the time Jesus was said to exist.
The holy (mother)land or homeland is called 'An' (Atl'AN'tis). The people who lived in north western Europe are called Gaels (western part of the greater Phonecian maritime cultures). Put it together, syllable by syllable and what have you got?
An-Geal-Land- ENGLAND our island home. Nothing to do with the banking faux nation of the same name that is now filled with Brit-'ish' (Japhetic/Germanic/Mongollian) peoples that until recently where populated by the Britons, the native olive skinned Shemitic/Gaelic/Hibaru peoples.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, lad.
Not as as politically entity but as a landmass
@@MrCHistorywalks England is not a landmass; (Great) Britain is.
@@Britonbear yes that is correct. The island of Great Britain existed at the time of Jesus
I thought that England is where he found Matthew Mark Luke and John.... Paul?
British names... would make sense 😉
And Ringo
the Romans had not yet invaded England during his life, so he would have been relatively safe as long as he bought gifts for the local chieftains and didn't the lack of showering amongst the population, the warm beer and the stodgy puddings.
#banter The Romans probably knew Britain existed
Yes he did many times and he came for tin which was mixed with copper to make bronze. He was the son of Caesar and his dad was killed and he came to England to live and became King Arthur with his 12 knights/disciples
Also the romans mined gold yeah I said gold Devon and Cornwall had silver also. Why was he here it was to create a money system which would fortify the new spiritual Roman Empire called the catholic church

Short answer: no Long answer: no
Darn tootin’. Pithy summary.
A bon fromage !
Merci!
Yeah, he just popped on a plane and flew here; what a stupid question.
Ryan Air from Jerusalem to Exeter airport... thats why Jesus visited Glastonbury Tor... and Stonehenge. Probably wanted to avoid the crowds at Heathrow Terminal 4 too.
@@dellwright1407 I don’t blame him
Took a boat apparently
England didn’t exist when Jesus was doing his rounds …..
As a political entity no, but a landmass yes
@@MrCHistorywalks British Isles then.
England is 38 centuries old and counting. Founded by the Milesian Gaels of Spain. Capital city Lugh-dunom, London. The White Mound. 'Mile' End (from Milos). Stop seeing events from the 17th century masonic rewrite. We been lied to.
@@dellwright1407 yes the British Isles existed when Jesus was alive
No, because he didn't exist.
Well - the dirt is out
He didn’t visit Judea etc either.
Jesus is a fictional creation.
Well - the jury is out
Yeah sure, Pontius Pilate wrote about cricifying a fictional man, and the 12 apostles all died defending the story. Makes total sense. 😂😂😂😂 atheists are funny
@@ryanparker4996 what are they like eh?
@@ryanparker4996
I was bashed by my dad as a kid for daring to suggest we miss going to church one time. (He would often react similarly on other occasions when I expressed opinions and ideas.)
In adulthood, I did much reading on the historicity of Jesus, and came away with the awareness that he almost certainly didn’t exist.
There is almost no evidence for his having existed.
Religion should be the choice of adults; children should be treated respectfully: not as putty or criminals.
@@brianjones3191 "almost no evidence" except for the evidence 😂 you're funny man
He could not pass through immigration
Lol
He should have come over in a rubber boat,
Of course he did, he also went to South America, Japan and South Korea 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quite a life
Jerusalem
Hiya. There ARE several books on this subject, but only a few expound the truth, perhaps because they’ve been conditioned to believe certain lies.
William Blake will have known the truth, but to expose that truth - even now, let alone in the 18th/19th century - would probably destroy someone’s career!
Why is that?
“Those feet, in ancient time” referred NOT to Jesus Christ, but to his SON, Jesus Justus, who came to Britain with his UNCLE ‘Joseph of Arimethea’ (a titular name, equivalent to ‘Archbishop’).
He was NOT Jesus’ uncle. He was in fact Jesus’ younger brother James. (Jesus had four brothers and two sisters).
He and most of the Disciples visited Britain two years after the Crucifixion and were granted twelve hides of land, by King Caractacus, to build the world’s first above ground Christian Church, and provide enough food to enable them to evangelise Britain.
YES Britain was the first nation to formally accept Christianity. St Mary’s Church was built in Glastonbury in 67AD.
Joseph continued to travel back and forth to the home Jesus’ wife and three children (one girl and two boys), who had settled in southern France with their mother Mary Magdalene. The church doesn’t want you to know that Mary was NOT a prostitute, but a Princess and the Marriage of Cana was THEIR wedding!
Jesus’ eldest son, Jesus Justus is said to have visited Britain many times, with his uncle James, and may have helped to build St Mary’s Church.
Remember; his father was a carpenter.
While evangelising in Lincolnshire, Jesus’ closest friend, Simon Magus (aka Lazarus) was crucified by the Romans, in Caistor, Lincolnshire.
St James’ married the daughter of Caractacus and members of the future generations were part of our Royal lineage.
Please spread the word of Jesus’ family in Britain.
They walk among us
Obviously not! How can a 'fictional historical character' have visited anywhere?
Next week; did Mickey Mouse build Milton Keynes.
Sorry guys. You're nuts. It's 2024, not 1624.
Grow up.
Fictional 😂 you know biblical archaeology proves the truth of God's word like the Tel Dan stele that mentions The House of David or the Seal of Isaiah being found or Caiaphas bone box or the cyrus cilinder or the pontius pilate stone or the Shroud of Turin that has three D information on it and over 270 legends worldwide of a global flood flood and we live on a planet covered in 70 % water hmmmmm 🤔
That would be a great video tbh. You have given me an idea
