I had a look. Something about Jesus leaving a message on metal plates? Are these still around?

Sounds like someone wanted to create a 'local franchise' of christianity. It happens all through history. People who's religion is previously tied to a foreign place and foreign values, create a new version of that religion based on ideas and people closer to home. Like how pictures of Jesus in Europe and the US have this blond haired blue eyed person (based on images of Zeus) and in South America the image is more latin.
