The period from age 12 to 30 in Jesus life is somehow not described anywhere
He just showed up at 30 and did his thing
Most concepts Jesus preached seem to overlap strongly with Buddhism and even more with Hinduism like compassion, love your neighbors and enemies, detachment from materialism, treat others how you'd like to be treated (karma) etc

What's interesting is that Islam itself is a 500 year later fork of Christianity and Jesus is a non-holy prophet in the Qu'ran
So if that's true and you keep going back the origins of most religions may just be Hinduism and Judaism
Buddhism itself was a fork of Hinduism too

It's unlikely Jesus that randomly had all those ideas, seems Occam's Razor he was inspired by other religions

The Silk Road trade route from Europe to Middle East to India was already active 200 years before Jesus was born
So it's not unlikely at all Jesus could have traveled with a trade caravan
