Re: Say It Aint So Joe. Test. Flav. Eusebius Author/Discover
. . . Origen is combatting the claims of Celsus' hypothetical Jew, whom was critical of Jesus being the Christ. If the TF contained negative comments about Jesus, then this would support Celsus.

We now have a complete disconnect with human culture of the Pleistocene, but these people, especially in India, over this very long period could well have retained memory of big slow cycles of the climate, embedding this story in the Yuga myth of a 24,000 year cyclic pattern of gold, silver, ...
