In his debated work ‘The World’s 16 Crucified Saviors’, K. Graves brings additional evidences to prove that Jesus Christ’s history, as we know in a traditional way, is not a history in the literal sense, but mostly a collection of esoteric symbols, constant in different cultures, that show us the Cosmic Christi Drama (Life, Suffering and Death), as a Cosmic and Universal Event. Further on we quote several similarities between Jesus, the Great Kabir and Krishna, India’s Savior Christ, born 1000 years before. Not without first calling attention that there are similar parallels to at least 48 sacred characters from antiquity, including the Immaculate Conception.
