Noticed a late-late movie (pseudo-documentary) last night.  Described
Hindu and Buddhist texts recording Jesus's travels to Persia, India, and
maybe Tibet between the ages of ~14 - ~30.  Also, some early Christian
writings that referenced this but were cut out of the Bible by
Constantine's political/religious council ~300 AD (boycotted by the Roman
Pope).  Is there anyone out there with any knowledge of references
regarding this?  Is it true/false/undecidable?  Was Christian
philosophy influenced by eastern philosophies in other ways at other
times?

Didn't Plato make a similar journey from age ~25 - ~45?  Got me musing
about interactions of early mythology and philosophy from the different
civilizations.  I know a little bit about Joseph Campbell's work on
comparative mythology.  If you have any additional pointers, I'd
appreciate a short note by mail.
