This manuscript is yet another proof that history is written by the winners and that people know the past only as it has been presented by the prevailing mainstream sources. Any contradictory suggestions are easily thrown out and condemned as either blasphemous or plain stupid. This can be easily applied to politics, too. In fact, politics is at the bottom of the whole story.

The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot?

The final words on the last page of the codex read: Gospel of Judas.

Day to Day, April 6, 2006 · Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John make up the four accepted Gospels of the Christian New Testament. Now a new gospel has been unveiled by the National Geographic Society -- one that focuses on the story of Judas Iscariot.

To most Christians, Judas is seen as a traitor, the disciple who betrayed Jesus to the Romans for 30 pieces of silver. But a newly restored papyrus document dating to the 2nd century AD portrays a very different man. Judas is shown as Jesus' best friend, asked by Jesus himself to betray his identity to fulfill the prophecy and liberate his soul to ascend to heaven.
