Here is the content of the requested video, organized coherently, with grammatical and spelling corrections, without timestamps or headings, and translated into Mexican Spanish.
Six months ago, a package arrived at my production office in Los Angeles. It had no return address, just a postage stamp from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and a handwritten note in broken English that read, “Read this before it disappears.” Inside was a folder containing high-resolution photographs of a manuscript on goatskin parchment, written in Ge’ez, the sacred liturgical language of the Ethiopian Church, along with a three-page English translation typed on an antique typewriter. It was as if the sender wanted to leave no digital trace of what they were sharing.
I called my research team for “The Resurrection of Christ,” the film we’re shooting right now at Cinecittà in Rome, with a budget of one hundred million dollars. I asked them to verify the authenticity of the photographs. It took them two weeks, and when they returned with the results, I understood why the note said, “Read it before it disappears.” What that manuscript contains is so dangerous to the official version of the history of Christianity that the right people will do everything they can to make it disappear, as they have done for the last two thousand years with everything that contradicts their monopoly on the truth.
Everything you thought you knew about the resurrection is incomplete. I’m not talking about minor details or theological nuances; I’m talking about entire chapters of the story that were ripped from the book you were given and that fundamentally change the meaning of everything else. For nearly two thousand years, the world received a story that ended with the empty tomb, the rolled-away stone, and silence. But that ending was never universal. Thousands of miles from Rome, in stone monasteries carved into the vertical cliffs of Ethiopia, monks safeguarded a different record: an ancient Bible with eighty-one books, not sixty-six.
Within those forgotten pages is a passage about the resurrection that not only describes what happened after Jesus rose from the dead, but also explains what changed about the nature of God, the purpose of the soul, and humanity’s direct access to truth without intermediaries. These words were preserved beyond the reach of church councils and all institutional control. What I’m going to tell you tonight is what those books that rewrite history say.
Most people think of the Bible as a fixed and untouchable text, but the Bible on your nightstand is the result of centuries of debate, political infighting, and decisions made by men with vested interests about what you should and shouldn’t read. While the Western Bible stopped at sixty-six books, Ethiopia preserved eighty-one. These include texts such as the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and the Ethiopian Maccabees. For centuries, Western scholars ridiculed them, but carbon-14 dating of the Garima Gospels proved they are the oldest illustrated Christian manuscripts on Earth.
The Book of Enoch describes a cosmic rupture: two hundred beings called “Watchers” descended from the sky and taught humanity technical knowledge for which it was unprepared, such as weapons manufacturing, cosmetics, astrology, and geology. It was a hack of civilization’s operating system. The Roman Catholic Church rejected this book because it describes a world where knowledge is free and independent of a priest, which is the worst nightmare of any organized religion.
However, the most impactful text is the Mashafa Kidan , or Book of the Covenant. In Western tradition, the time between the resurrection and the ascension is barely noticeable. The Acts of the Apostles states that Jesus spoke for forty days, but it doesn’t record a single word. In Ethiopian tradition, those forty days are the central event. According to this text, the resurrected Christ reveals the hidden structure of reality and speaks of “the builder of shadows.” He explains that the material world is a shadow cast by a deceptive force that wants humans to never look beyond the surface.
In this text, Jesus warns against organized religion, saying not to build temples of stone because they will crumble, but to build the temple of the heart. He predicts that men in long robes will use his name to amass gold and turn his cross into a sword to build empires. He accurately describes future events such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and modern financial scandals. He says that every human being has two winds within: the wind of life, which is the divine spark, and the wind of error, a parasite that calcifies the heart and turns people into “walking tombs,” biologically alive but spiritually dead.
The antidote Jesus proposes is not a ritual, but gnosis: direct knowledge. He teaches his disciples to watch their thoughts and find the kingdom of heaven in the silence between one thought and the next. This is identical to what other traditions call meditation or mindfulness . For this reason, the Roman Empire suppressed the text; they needed obedient citizens, not free mystics who believed the Church was unnecessary.
The text also contains startling scientific details. It speaks of “gates of the winds,” which align with global weather patterns, and of a “watery abyss” beneath the earth, similar to the massive ocean trapped in the earth’s mantle discovered by scientists in 2014. Jesus warns that, in the future, darkness will “clothe his face,” describing a false savior who will speak of love and peace but seek to destroy from within.
The connection between Jesus and Ethiopia is also genetic. Ethiopian emperors claimed direct descent from King Solomon and the line of David. DNA studies confirm an actual migration from the Levant to Ethiopia three thousand years ago. This means that Jesus’s family had powerful relatives in Africa. This Ethiopian faith maintained the original Jewish laws, such as the Sabbath and dietary rules, before Rome reformed them.
In the 12th century, King Lalibela ordered eleven churches to be carved directly into the volcanic rock. These are not constructed buildings, but negative sculptures of astonishing mathematical precision. Modern engineers cannot explain how millions of tons of rubble were moved and simply vanished. Legend says that angels assisted at night with tools of light. Some believe the Ark of the Covenant was used as a power source to soften the rock.
Nearly all Ethiopians believe that the Ark of the Covenant is in Aksum, guarded by a monk who cannot leave his chapel until he dies. The symptoms these guardians develop—cataracts, pallor, and premature death—are identical to those of chronic radiation exposure. Ethiopia has protected this secret and its independence for millennia, being the only African nation never colonized.
Why are these texts being released now? The monks say the texts contain an emergency mechanism for humanity. They describe the current era as a world of “networks of illusion” where people “speak without mouths and see without eyes,” an accurate description of the digital age and social media. When the illusion is perfected, the hidden truth must be released to shatter it.
My film “The Resurrection of Christ” will include these elements. It won’t be the simple story we know. The Jesus of the Ethiopian texts is a meditation master and a revolutionary who warns against institutions. The forbidden page has been published; the seal is broken. The fifteen books that were taken from you contained truths so powerful that they rendered unnecessary the institutions that make their money by selling you access to God.
An elderly monk in Debre Damo told me that the texts weren’t hidden, but rather that the world wasn’t ready. He compared the truths to seeds that need the right season to germinate. That season is now, when humanity is more connected than ever, yet more alone and empty than ever. What they seek is in silence, in the temple of the heart, in the books that were taken from you and are now available to everyone. Spring has arrived, and the full truth will forever change how we understand our existence.
