In a detailed examination of the Shroud of Turin and the time of crucifixion, Kersten draws attention to how Joseph of Arimethea, Nicodemus and Longinus had made plans to revive Jesus - as soon as he was brought down from the cross.
Large quantities of aloes, myrrh and ladanum are believed to have been found, in the tomb where Jesus was laid to rest.
These herbs were commonly used, in the treatment of injuries and wounds.
Kersten sees the notion of Resurrection in the gospels, as a physical act of resuscitation as well - In which Jesus is shown to have been healed, with elaborate medication.
Kersten draws on the work of Father Gunther Schwarz who says that the terms, 'rise' and 'coming back to life', found in translations of the Bible, in the original Aramaic, derive from the linguistic root, 'to resuscitate'.
Alternative scholarship holds that, having survived the crucifixion, Jesus goes east, again, as Yuz Asaph.
Jesus's Hebrew name was Yuza.
Yuz in Arabic.
In Quran, he is Hazrat Issa, Issa in Tibetan, close to Isha in Samskrit.
Yuz means leader.
And Asaph refers to healing.
So, Jesus was Yuz Asaph - Leader of the Healed.
