FunTranscript
00:00This is not just a book, because it carries a dangerous secret inside, and those who learned about it did
00:08not live for very long.
00:11Because this story has the power to shake a major belief and rewrite history.
00:18When it first appeared, it was not only rejected, it was banned by the Vatican.
00:24This is the story of the Gospel of Barnabas.
00:28It was hidden for centuries, but as reactions grew, they introduced another fake book under the same name to discredit
00:35it.
00:36But other copies of this book were claimed to be found in Turkey and Cyprus, and of course, they are
00:43very different from the version that was presented.
00:48In this video, we will follow the real Gospel of Barnabas.
00:53This will be one of the most special videos we have ever made.
00:58You are watching Religious Story TV.
01:01To not miss videos like this, subscribe to the channel, like the video, and write in the comments which country
01:08you are watching from.
01:10If you are ready, let's begin.
01:17Today, there are four Gospels accepted in the world, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
01:23But history tells us something important.
01:26After Esau, especially in the first centuries, there were many different Gospels in circulation.
01:32Some of them were similar to each other, but some of them were telling completely different things.
01:37The Gospel of Barnabas was one of these different texts.
01:41According to some claims, this book was saying the opposite of the accepted story.
01:46It said that Esau was not the Son of God, that he was not crucified, and that a prophet would
01:53come after him.
01:54Now stop and think about this for a moment.
01:57If such a text was really circulating in the early period, this is not just an alternative opinion.
02:04This is something that could directly affect the foundation of belief.
02:08Throughout history, powerful systems usually react in the same way to things that challenge them.
02:14They destroy them, hide them, or make them look unimportant.
02:18The original text disappeared.
02:20Later, a different version was presented.
02:23This version was called fake, and the whole topic was discredited.
02:28So the goal was not only to hide it, but also to control how people see it.
02:33There is also an important detail here.
02:36The version of the Gospel of Barnabas, known today, is in Italian.
02:40This raises a serious question.
02:42Did Barnabas know Italian?
02:45No.
02:45He lived in the first century, and the language he most likely spoke was Aramaic.
02:51So the question becomes clear.
02:53If the text we have today is only a translation, where is the original?
02:59There is no clear answer to this.
03:01So the book you see today, under the name Barnabas, cannot be confirmed as original.
03:08Even if it is called a translation, there is no known original text.
03:13This creates confusion and can mislead people.
03:17However, according to some research and claims, the real text may not have been completely lost.
03:23It may have remained hidden or controlled.
03:25This is where the story becomes more complex.
03:28Because this is not only about an old book.
03:32Some claims connect this topic to secret excavations in Turkey, night operations in Cyprus, texts that appeared and disappeared, and
03:41even reports of deaths.
03:42So who is at the center of all this?
03:45Who was Barnabas?
03:46Was he really one of the closest people to Esau?
03:49Or was he a name that was later pushed out of history?
03:52To answer these questions, we first need to understand the person.
03:57Because the best way to understand a text is to understand the one who is said to have written it.
04:04Barnabas, for many people today, just a name.
04:07But for early Christianity, he was a very important figure.
04:12His real name, Yusuf.
04:14But the title given to him, Barnabas.
04:17Meaning, son of encouragement, or one who encourages.
04:22Even this gives us a clue about his character.
04:25Both meanings show how accurate this name was for him in the years ahead.
04:31He was born in Cyprus, into a Jewish family.
04:34At that time, Cyprus was in the middle of the Mediterranean, under the long shadow of the Roman Empire.
04:41A place where trade roots and beliefs met.
04:44Yusuf was born into a family from the tribe of Levi, serving in the temple.
04:50Barnabas was one of the first people to meet the message of Esau, a.s.
04:54In sources, his name is mentioned among the early believers.
04:58And once he accepted it, he never turned back.
05:01For this belief, he left Cyprus, went to new lands, told people, and spread the message.
05:09Barnabas was not just a follower.
05:11He was someone who brought people together, supported them, and tried to spread the belief.
05:17And he became one of the leading figures in the early Christian community.
05:21Even in today's Christian sources, he is considered important.
05:26But there is a critical detail here.
05:29Barnabas is not described the same way in every source.
05:32According to some, he was an apostle.
05:35According to others, he was not one of the twelve apostles.
05:39But he was a very close follower in the first circle.
05:42So what is clear is this.
05:44Barnabas saw Esau and lived in the same time as him.
05:48And he directly heard his message.
05:51This separates him from many other writers.
05:54Because this cannot be said for most of the gospel writers we have today.
05:58Almost all of them were written by later generations who never saw Esau.
06:04And because of this, if there is truly a text belonging to Barnabas,
06:09that text is not an ordinary story.
06:12It would be a first-hand witness.
06:15And it would become a primary source, much more important than the current gospels.
06:21One of the most important turning points in Barnabas' life crosses with another name.
06:27Paul.
06:28This name is extremely critical, both for what he did and for today's understanding of Christianity.
06:35He is one of the most influential figures in Christian history.
06:39But here is the interesting part.
06:42Barnabas and Paul were together for a time.
06:45They traveled together.
06:47In the early period, before Paul changed, they spread the message.
06:52They preached in the same cities.
06:54But then something happened.
06:56A serious disagreement appeared between them.
06:59And this disagreement was not just personal.
07:03According to some accounts, this separation was about belief itself.
07:07About who Esau really was and how his message should be understood.
07:13Now think about this.
07:14If two important figures separate while spreading the same message, this is not a simple argument.
07:20This is the beginning of two different paths.
07:23On one side, Paul.
07:25On the other side, Barnabas.
07:28And history shows us this.
07:30Today's understanding of Christianity followed completely the path shaped by Paul.
07:35And Paul interpreted Christianity in his own way, in a form suitable for the Roman pagan world, so it could
07:42spread more easily.
07:43We will go into details about Paul soon.
07:46But let's look a little more at Barnabas' path.
07:50Although there is no exact information about the end of Barnabas' life, he continued to spread the message of Esau.
07:58At that time, the Romans were putting strong pressure on Christians.
08:03And according to the widely accepted view, he returned to Cyprus and he was killed there.
08:09According to some accounts, he became a target because he was spreading his belief.
08:14And in the end, he was silenced.
08:17But something very interesting happened.
08:21Paul, who had conflicts with him and who spread the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
08:27continued his path with growing power and even with the support of pagan Rome.
08:33The first century of Christian history, known as the Age of the Apostles,
08:37begins in Jerusalem around 33 after Esau.
08:41In this 70-year period, the name of Barnabas appears many times.
08:53As we mentioned at the beginning of the video,
08:56Barnabas travelled with Paul to Cyprus and Anatolia to spread their beliefs.
09:01They walked together, spoke together, and worked together.
09:05But Paul, using his strong intellectual background, began to build a new theology.
09:11Barnabas, on the other hand, wanted to pass on what he heard and saw,
09:15exactly as it was, without adding or removing anything.
09:20After this separation, when Barnabas returned to Cyprus, he became a target,
09:26especially after becoming the founder of the Church of Cyprus.
09:30He continued to spread the message of Esau on the island, but this message did not please everyone.
09:37At that time, there was a strong Jewish community in Cyprus.
09:41What Barnabas was teaching was seen as a threat by them.
09:45In the end, they took action.
09:47Barnabas was killed, and his body was thrown into a swamp.
09:51But his students did not stop.
09:54Without anyone seeing them, quietly, they took his body out of the swamp,
09:59and they brought him to a place where no one could easily find him,
10:03a cave near the ruins of Salamis.
10:06They buried him quickly, and Barnabas became part of the earth.
10:10But there was something on him, on his chest, a book.
10:15The Gospel of Barnabas.
10:17This book is not just a text.
10:20It is an alternative account of the message of Esau,
10:23and maybe because of this, it has always been debated throughout history.
10:26So how did this book survive from that day until today, and how was it found?
10:33Here, a very interesting story appears.
10:36In the year 477, the Bishop of Cyprus, Anthemios, had a strange dream one night.
10:44In his dream, St. Barnabas appeared and said,
10:48My grave is in that place.
10:51Come and find me.
10:53Anthemios took this dream seriously.
10:55He went with his team near the ruins of Salamis,
10:58and they found it inside a cave, a tomb.
11:02Inside the tomb, bones, and on the bones, at the level of the chest.
11:07That object was still there, a handwritten gospel.
11:11This discovery was reported to Emperor Zeno.
11:15The emperor granted independence to the Church of Cyprus,
11:18and gave a large donation.
11:20With that money, the Barnabas Monastery, which still stands today, was built.
11:25The bones and the gospel were sent to Antioch,
11:28and from there to Istanbul.
11:29Then they were delivered to the Church of Rome.
11:32And here, the darkest part of the story begins.
11:36Because that gospel was never shown to the public again.
11:40Every year on June 11th,
11:43the Christian world celebrates St. Barnabas Day.
11:46Churches mention his name.
11:48Hymns are sung.
11:49Prayers are made.
11:51But no one asks this question out loud.
11:54Where is the gospel written by this man?
11:58Barnabas is accepted as a saint in the Christian world.
12:02But the book said to be written by him,
12:05the one found on his chest,
12:07protected by his students at the cost of their lives,
12:10was banned for centuries.
12:12At one time, during the Inquisition in Spain,
12:16it is known that people who even mentioned the name Barnabas
12:20were given the death penalty.
12:21Just a name.
12:23Just saying a name.
12:24And the punishment was death.
12:26This gospel was found in Cyprus,
12:28and a copy was also found in Turkey.
12:31We will tell that story as well.
12:33But before that, we need to understand something.
12:36What did Paul do?
12:39And why did he leave the teachings of Isa
12:41and present a different theology?
12:44This is what we will try to understand next.
12:48If you want to understand a religion,
12:50look at its founder.
12:52But when it comes to Christianity,
12:54this rule takes you to an unexpected place.
12:57Because the theological architect of Christianity,
13:01believed by billions today,
13:03is not Isa.
13:05It is a man who never saw Isa,
13:08never spoke to him,
13:09and did not believe in him during his lifetime.
13:12His name is Paul.
13:14And the city where he was born
13:16is at the center of this story,
13:18Tarsus.
13:20Today, we know Tarsus as a small district of Mersin.
13:23But in the first century AD,
13:26Tarsus was one of the most important
13:28intellectual centers in the world.
13:30At that time,
13:32there were three major university cities in the world,
13:35Athens, Alexandria, and Tarsus.
13:38The three biggest library cities were the same.
13:41Science, philosophy, literature, religion,
13:44all of these were discussed,
13:45taught, and transformed in this place.
13:48And in this center,
13:49a very special philosophical tradition existed,
13:52Stoicism.
13:54Stoicism was a school of thought
13:56that was influenced by the Mithra cult
13:58and later became a systematic philosophy.
14:01Universal reason,
14:03virtue,
14:04fate,
14:04life after death,
14:06all of these were explained within its framework.
14:09And Paul grew up in this city.
14:11He breathed this intellectual atmosphere.
14:13He absorbed the concepts of Stoic philosophy.
14:16At first,
14:18Paul's name was Saul.
14:48And Saul was one of the strongest enemies
14:49who heard his voice.
14:51And after this experience,
14:53everything changed.
14:54Saul became Paul.
14:56But there is a critical point.
14:59Paul never actually saw Esa in real life.
15:02Yet after seeing him in the sky,
15:04he recognized him
15:05and promised to become a true Christian.
15:07And of course,
15:08the only witness of this story
15:10is Paul himself.
15:12There are no secondary sources
15:14who saw or heard this event.
15:16So in this story,
15:18whether he truly experienced it or created it,
15:20Paul gave himself a special position.
15:24One of the most important periods of Paul's life
15:27begins here.
15:29We do not know if he told this story to Barnabas.
15:32Maybe it was something he spoke about later.
15:35Barnabas came to Tarsus and found Paul.
15:39He took him with him to Antioch.
15:41They worked together for a full year.
15:43And in Antioch,
15:45for the first time in history,
15:46the followers of that community
15:48were called Christians.
15:50Barnabas was someone
15:51who learned directly from people
15:53who knew Haza Esa a.s.
15:55and wanted to pass on his message
15:57exactly as it was.
15:59Paul, however,
16:00was thinking in a very different way.
16:02The philosophical education he received in Tarsus
16:06made him think in a systematic way.
16:09And Paul began to redefine who Esa was.
16:13Barnabas was against this.
16:16Barnabas saw Esa not as the son of God,
16:19but as a messenger of Allah.
16:21The belief in one God
16:23was a non-negotiable foundation for him.
16:26And at this point,
16:27the distance between him and Paul
16:29became impossible to close.
16:30Sources tell us that Barnabas and Paul
16:33separated and never came together again.
16:37Paul continued his missionary journeys.
16:39He wrote letters.
16:40He established churches.
16:42The letters he wrote now
16:44form an important part of the New Testament.
16:46And the main doctrines of Christianity today,
16:50the Trinity,
16:51the theology of the cross,
16:53the divinity of Esa,
16:54are largely shaped by Paul's writings.
16:56Barnabas, on the other hand,
16:59returned to Cyprus.
17:00And the book said to be written by him
17:03was telling a completely different story.
17:07So how did what Paul said become accepted
17:10while the belief in one God
17:12held by Barnabas
17:14and many early Christians
17:15was pushed aside?
17:16This is exactly where we must look at history.
17:21In the year 325 after Esa,
17:24the Council of Nicaea was held
17:26and a decision was going to be made
17:28which Gospels were true
17:30and which were false.
17:31Think about it.
17:33300 years passed after Esa.
17:35And only then the doctrines of Christianity
17:38and its book were decided.
17:40This alone is a serious issue.
17:43And the ones who gathered this council
17:45were the same Roman Empire
17:46that had persecuted
17:47and killed Christians for years.
17:49The capital of the Roman Empire
17:51was no longer Rome.
17:53It was being moved to Constantinople.
17:55Emperor Constantine was on the throne.
17:58And he needed something
17:59to hold together his collapsing empire.
18:02That tool would be religion.
18:04But which religion?
18:05Which Esa?
18:06Which Gospel?
18:08Emperor Constantine
18:09sent invitations across the empire.
18:11All Christian leaders
18:13would gather in a small city
18:15in northwest Anatolia, Nicaea.
18:19According to sources,
18:212,048 religious leaders
18:23attended this meeting.
18:24And in front of all of them,
18:26there was one central question.
18:28Who is Esa?
18:29Around this question,
18:31two main groups formed.
18:33On one side,
18:34those who said Esa is God himself
18:36or the Son of God.
18:38On the other side,
18:39a much stronger opposing voice
18:41was rising,
18:42Arius.
18:43Arius said,
18:45there is only one God
18:46and Esa is his messenger.
18:49But the idea that Esa
18:51is the Son of God
18:52is wrong.
18:54Historians emphasized
18:55that the real purpose
18:56of this council
18:57was not to find theological truth,
18:59but to organize
19:00and control the church.
19:01The Roman Empire
19:03had tried for years
19:04to stop Christianity by force.
19:06But when force did not work,
19:08they understood
19:09they could not destroy it
19:10from the outside.
19:12So they decided
19:13to control it from the inside.
19:15In Rome,
19:16there was already
19:17a powerful figure,
19:18the Son God Apollo.
19:21During the council of Nicaea,
19:23a new figure was shaped
19:24to take that place,
19:26Esa,
19:26but not as a simple prophet anymore,
19:28as a divine figure,
19:30as God himself
19:31or his Son.
19:33Churches were built
19:34on the places
19:35of old pagan temples.
19:36Pagan festivals
19:37were aligned
19:38with Christian celebrations.
19:40At the end of the meeting,
19:42a historic decision was made.
19:44From hundreds of gospels,
19:46four were selected.
19:48Matthew,
19:49Mark,
19:50Luke,
19:50and John.
19:51What happened to the rest?
19:53They were burned,
19:54destroyed,
19:55labeled as
19:56heretical,
19:57blasphemous,
19:58or dangerous.
20:00In the year 366,
20:02Pope Damasus
20:03took an even stronger step.
20:05He completely banned
20:06the Gospel of Barnabas.
20:08It was placed among
20:09apocryphal texts,
20:11meaning rejected
20:12and unsafe,
20:13and this ban
20:14continued for centuries.
20:16In medieval Europe,
20:17especially during
20:18the Inquisition in Spain,
20:20people who even mentioned
20:21the name Barnabas
20:22could face
20:23the death penalty.
20:25So what happened
20:25to Arius?
20:26Arius and those
20:27who followed his ideas
20:29did not just lose a debate.
20:31The council's decisions
20:32were very clear.
20:34All texts and notes
20:35containing these beliefs
20:37had to be destroyed.
20:38Those who believed
20:40in Arius' views
20:41were excommunicated
20:42and punished,
20:43but the question he asked
20:45did not die.
20:46Is Esa really
20:47the son of God?
20:49This question
20:50was suppressed in Nicaea,
20:51but it never disappeared.
20:54For centuries,
20:55it continued to be whispered.
20:58The idea that today's Gospels
21:00are not Revelation texts
21:02is not only a claim
21:03made by Muslims
21:04or researchers.
21:06Even Christian theologians
21:07accept this.
21:09The four canonical Gospels
21:10we have today,
21:12Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
21:14are texts that describe
21:16the life and words of Esa,
21:17but the way they were written
21:19is very important.
21:21They were written
21:21generations later.
21:24In other words,
21:25they were written by people
21:26who saw those
21:27who saw Esa.
21:28So the format
21:29is like this.
21:31Esa said this.
21:33Esa did that.
21:34This happened that day.
21:36We saw this.
21:38This may look similar
21:40to Hadith in the Islamic tradition,
21:41but it is not the same.
21:43Because the name
21:44of the person
21:45who directly heard
21:46from Esa
21:46is not clearly given,
21:47and there is no clear chain
21:49of people confirming
21:50the narration.
21:52In Islamic literature,
21:53Hadith are recorded
21:54with detailed chains,
21:56who heard it,
21:58who confirmed it,
21:59and whether these people
22:00are reliable.
22:01But in the Gospels,
22:02there is no such system.
22:05Because of this,
22:06their reliability
22:07is much lower
22:08compared to Hadith.
22:10In fact,
22:10they cannot even be compared.
22:12Also,
22:13all four canonical Gospels
22:16are anonymous.
22:17Even though
22:17they are given
22:18the names of apostles,
22:20they were not actually
22:21written by those apostles.
22:23And choosing those names
22:24makes it look like
22:25a form of manipulation.
22:28Even Hadith,
22:29despite being very strong
22:31in Islamic literature,
22:33are not considered revelation.
22:35So we can say this clearly.
22:37Today,
22:38Christianity doesn't have
22:40a fully preserved
22:41revelation book.
22:42There is another
22:43very important point.
22:45Esa,
22:46a.s.
22:46is believed to have passed away
22:49around 30 A.D.
22:52So,
22:52when were the four Gospels written?
22:54The Gospel of Mark,
22:56considered the earliest,
22:58is dated around the year 70.
23:00That is at least 30 years
23:02after Esa.
23:03And even this dating
23:05is only a claim.
23:06There is no strong physical proof
23:09or carbon test confirming it.
23:11The Gospels of Matthew and Luke
23:13are dated around the year 90.
23:16And the Gospel of John
23:17is dated between 100
23:19and 130 A.D.
23:22Not only are the authors unknown,
23:25but they were also not
23:26direct witnesses of Esa.
23:28And in some cases,
23:30not even direct witnesses
23:31of those who saw him.
23:33This is widely accepted
23:35in modern theological studies.
23:37Now think about this.
23:39You see an event
23:40and tell it to someone.
23:42That person tells it to another.
23:45And later,
23:46someone writes it down
23:47in anonymous notes.
23:49Do you think it would be
23:50exactly the same
23:52as what you originally said?
23:54Can you say it was transferred
23:56100% correctly?
23:58Especially when we do not even know
24:00who transmitted it
24:02and who confirmed it.
24:03Everything is passed anonymously.
24:05Would you not question
24:06its reliability from the beginning?
24:08Now imagine this.
24:10After 300 years,
24:12people come and choose
24:13from many versions,
24:14the ones that best fit
24:15their beliefs
24:16and allow an easier transition
24:18for society.
24:19There were hundreds of versions,
24:21and the ones closest
24:22to pagan beliefs were selected.
24:24Because at that time,
24:25Rome was pagan.
24:27And the transition required texts
24:30close to their existing beliefs.
24:32This is a major issue.
24:34It is one of the most serious things
24:36that can happen to a religion.
24:38And the prophet of that religion.
24:40He did not see these books,
24:42did not hear them,
24:43and did not confirm them.
24:44So not only are they not revelation,
24:47they are not even approved
24:48by the one who received revelation.
24:51Shouldn't this raise serious doubts?
24:53Now look at the Qur'an.
24:55It was written down directly
24:57under the guidance
24:58of the messenger of Allah.
25:00Then it was read many times,
25:02memorized,
25:03and constantly repeated
25:04in salah and outside salah.
25:07Those who memorized it
25:09compared it with each other.
25:10So in terms of authenticity,
25:12it was confirmed both by the prophet
25:14and by thousands of people
25:16who memorized it.
25:17And in this way,
25:19it was preserved
25:20and passed to later generations.
25:22The Qur'an mentions the gospel,
25:25a book revealed to Esa.
25:28But this book is not Matthew,
25:30Mark, Luke, or John.
25:31The gospel mentioned in the Qur'an
25:34is the one directly revealed to Esa.
25:37And this is where the gospel of Barnabas
25:39comes into the picture.
25:41Because this book makes
25:42a very specific claim about itself.
25:44In its introduction, it says,
25:47I, Barnabas from Cyprus,
25:49write faithfully what was revealed
25:51to the Messiah by Ruhul Kudus
25:53from the Lord of the Worlds,
25:55exactly as I heard from Esa
25:57as the fourth copy
25:59after 48 heavenly years.
26:01This statement does not exist
26:03in any of the four canonical gospels.
26:06Barnabas clearly says,
26:08this is revelation.
26:10Now let's address a claim
26:12made by the Vatican
26:13that the gospel of Barnabas
26:15was written by Muslims.
26:17This claim is historically weak.
26:20Because the gospel of Barnabas
26:22was banned in the year 366 AD.
26:25But Islam began in 610 AD.
26:29So this book was already banned
26:31before Islam even appeared.
26:34So now we come
26:36to the most critical question.
26:37What is written in the gospel of Barnabas
26:40that made it so dangerous
26:42that it was removed from the religion,
26:44even though it was said
26:46to be written by a respected saint?
26:48To ban a book,
26:50there must be a very strong reason.
26:52It is not enough to just say it is wrong.
26:54It is not enough to say,
26:56this contradicts our belief.
26:58Because throughout history,
26:59many books were criticized or rejected,
27:02but they were not destroyed.
27:03But the gospel of Barnabas
27:06was different.
27:07It was targeted for destruction.
27:09It was banned for centuries.
27:12Even saying its name
27:13could lead to death.
27:14It was searched for
27:16in armed night operations.
27:18Even its introduction alone
27:20is enough.
27:21The gospel of Barnabas
27:23begins with this sentence.
27:24I, Barnabas from Cyprus,
27:27write faithfully
27:28what was revealed to the Messiah
27:29by Ruhul Kudus
27:31from the Lord of the Worlds,
27:33exactly as I heard from Esa
27:34as the fourth copy
27:36after 48 heavenly years.
27:38This single sentence
27:40contains three major claims.
27:42First,
27:43revealed by the Lord of the Worlds.
27:46This book defines itself
27:47as revelation.
27:48This claim does not exist
27:50in any of the four canonical gospels.
27:52Second,
27:54revealed to the Messiah
27:56through Ruhul Kudus,
27:58meaning revelation sent to Esa
28:00through Jibreel.
28:01Third,
28:03I write as the fourth copy.
28:05It says there were four copies
28:06of this text.
28:07The main claim
28:09of the gospel of Barnabas
28:10is this,
28:11Esa is not the son of God.
28:14This directly contradicts
28:16the doctrine officially established
28:17at the Council of Nicaea
28:19in 325 AD.
28:22According to the gospel
28:23of Barnabas,
28:25Esa is a chosen servant
28:26and messenger of Allah.
28:28He performs miracles,
28:30shows people the right path,
28:31and carries the divine message.
28:34But he is not divine.
28:35The gospel of Barnabas
28:37also claims that Esa
28:38was not crucified.
28:40Instead,
28:40it says that Judas Iscariot
28:42was made to look like Esa
28:44and was crucified in his place.
28:46This claim is very similar
28:47to what is described
28:49in the Quran.
28:50In the gospel of Barnabas,
28:52Esa is also described
28:53as giving good news
28:55about a prophet
28:56who will come after him.
28:57And this prophet
28:58is named Ahmad.
29:00In translations,
29:01it is mentioned
29:02that those who believe
29:03in Ahmad
29:04will be like full ears of grain.
29:07The name Ahmad
29:08means the most praised
29:10in Arabic.
29:11The name Muhammad
29:12comes from the same root.
29:14In the Quran,
29:15there is also a verse
29:16pointing to this.
29:18In Surah As-Saf,
29:19verse 6,
29:21Esa says,
29:22I give you the good news
29:23of a messenger
29:24who will come after me
29:25whose name will be Ahmad.
29:28The gospel of Barnabas
29:30describes this message
29:31in more detail.
29:32According to some narrations,
29:34this book also contains information
29:36about where older sacred texts
29:39are located.
29:40One of them is
29:41the Psalms written by Dawud
29:42in Aramaic.
29:44The other is
29:45the Ten Commandments
29:46written by Harun
29:47on copper tablets.
29:49The location of these tablets
29:51has remained
29:52one of the greatest mysteries
29:53in the world
29:54for centuries.
29:55We just mentioned
29:57Hamza Hojah.
29:58Now let's answer these questions.
30:00Who is he?
30:01How did he reach these copies?
30:03How were they translated?
30:05How was this gospel
30:06of Barnabas verified?
30:07And how can we believe
30:09its authenticity today?
30:11These copies were found
30:12in two different places
30:13at two different times
30:15by different people.
30:16The first one was found
30:18in 1983
30:19in the southeast of Turkey
30:21in the province of Surnak.
30:23A mountainous,
30:25harsh,
30:26isolated land.
30:28A villager notices something
30:29while grazing his sheep.
30:31One of them is missing.
30:33He follows the trail
30:34and reaches a cave.
30:36But this is not
30:38an ordinary cave.
30:39Sources say
30:40that this place
30:41was actually
30:41a very large structure,
30:43almost like an entrance
30:44to an underground city.
30:46And inside this place,
30:47there was something
30:48the villager did not expect.
30:50A tomb.
30:52On top of the tomb,
30:53there was a large book,
30:54covered with leather,
30:56yellowed pages,
30:57but somehow preserved.
30:58There was writing on it.
31:00A script he did not
31:02understand at that moment.
31:04Later, it would be understood.
31:06It was an Aramaic text
31:07written in the Syriac alphabet.
31:09The language spoken by Isa.
31:12The villager did not know
31:13what the book was,
31:14but he understood
31:16it was valuable.
31:17He told people around him.
31:18But soon,
31:19this reached the gendarmerie,
31:21and the book was taken
31:22by official authorities.
31:24The news that
31:25the Gospel of Barnabas
31:26was found in Turkey
31:27somehow spread.
31:29And this news
31:30alarmed the Vatican.
31:32Through its embassy
31:32in Ankara,
31:33the Vatican sent
31:34an official letter
31:35to the Turkish
31:36Ministry of Culture.
31:38They asked for information
31:39about the book,
31:40the Ministry
31:41investigated,
31:42and the response
31:43sent to the Vatican was,
31:44we do not have
31:46the Gospel of Barnabas.
31:48Think about this.
31:50One of the most powerful
31:51religious institutions
31:52in the world
31:53is asking,
31:54through official
31:55diplomatic channels,
31:57about an ancient book
31:58found in a mountain
31:59village in Turkey.
32:00This alone says a lot.
32:02The book was first kept
32:04at the Diyarbakir
32:05Marshall Court.
32:06It stayed there
32:07for a few years.
32:08Then it was sent
32:09to Ankara.
32:10And in Ankara,
32:11it reached the highest
32:13levels of the state.
32:15Sources say the book
32:16was taken to the
32:17General Staff Headquarters.
32:18And from there,
32:19to a secret headquarters
32:20in Besiktas,
32:22claimed to belong
32:22to a special military unit.
32:24And there,
32:25it was translated
32:27by Hamza Hoca,
32:29a Gospel,
32:30a military headquarters.
32:31And secrecy.
32:33Some people are forced
32:34to carry the heaviest
32:35secrets in history.
32:36They do not choose
32:38this burden.
32:39The burden finds them.
32:41Hamza Pektas,
32:42known publicly
32:43as Hamza Hocagil,
32:44was one of those people.
32:46He was an expert
32:47in ancient languages.
32:48He could read Aramaic.
32:51When he returned
32:52from Germany
32:53in 1984,
32:54a man named
32:55Ismail Hakisengul
32:57came to his door
32:58with a text.
32:59And when he saw it,
33:01he did not step back.
33:03He paid the price
33:04of this decision
33:05for the rest of his life.
33:06He passed away
33:07in 2021.
33:09For security reasons,
33:10he hid his real surname
33:11throughout his life.
33:13According to his own words,
33:15When I returned to Turkey
33:17from Germany
33:17in 1984,
33:19someone named
33:20Ismail Hakisengul
33:21brought me a text.
33:23It was an Aramaic text
33:25written in the Syriac alphabet.
33:27During the translation,
33:29this meaning appeared.
33:30I write what was revealed
33:32to the Messiah by Allah,
33:34the Lord of the Worlds,
33:35exactly as I heard from him
33:37after 48 years.
33:39In his own words,
33:41this text became
33:43very well known
33:43and I translated
33:45the first part
33:46of the Gospel of Barnabas
33:47in this way.
33:49Sources say
33:50that after the book
33:50entered state control,
33:52Hamza Hoja
33:53was taken to a special place
33:55for translation.
33:56This was not
33:57an ordinary government building.
33:59It was a secret headquarters
34:01in Basiktas
34:02claimed to belong
34:03to a special military unit.
34:05And inside this place,
34:07Hamza Hoja
34:08translated the Gospel of Barnabas,
34:10a religious text,
34:12a military base,
34:14and an oath of secrecy.
34:16Hamza Hoja
34:17mentioned which generals
34:18were involved in this process.
34:20He gave names.
34:21He described locations
34:23he was taken to by helicopter.
34:24These details
34:26were recorded
34:26and published.
34:28But then
34:29something very unusual happened.
34:32In 2009,
34:34the journalist
34:35who published this information
34:36received an email.
34:37Some parts of the information
34:39in the old video
34:40of the teacher
34:41have been removed.
34:43The journalist
34:44checked the video
34:44and saw it clearly.
34:46The parts where the names
34:48of generals were mentioned
34:49all deleted.
34:51In 2021,
34:53Hamza Pektas
34:54passed away.
34:55After that,
34:56there was no longer
34:57a need to hide
34:58his real surname.
34:59The man who had been
35:00known for years
35:01as Hockagill
35:02was finally revealed
35:04to be Pektas.
35:05A man carried
35:06one of the most important
35:08secrets in history.
35:09He hid his identity.
35:11He stayed out of sight.
35:12And despite all this,
35:14he still told the story.
35:16Not only one copy
35:18was found in Turkey.
35:19A second copy
35:20was found in 1996.
35:22And its story
35:23is also very unusual.
35:25Let's follow it together.
35:27One night.
35:29In the north of Cyprus,
35:31outside the city
35:32of Famagusta,
35:33near the ruins
35:34of Salamis.
35:35There's a small monastery.
35:37Everything is quiet.
35:38Then a sound.
35:40Someone knocks on the door.
35:42The security guard
35:43opens it
35:44and sees 13 men,
35:46all dressed in black,
35:48all holding automatic weapons.
35:50Their leader steps forward
35:51and says,
35:52We will carry out
35:53an exercise here.
35:55You wait in the church across.
35:56Do not leave.
35:58What could the guards do?
36:00There is an armed group
36:01in front of them.
36:02Silently,
36:03they move to the other building
36:04and the door of the monastery closes.
36:07No one sees what happens inside.
36:10But in the morning,
36:11freshly dug soil
36:12is seen in one corner
36:14of the monastery.
36:15But this story
36:16actually goes much further back.
36:18In the year 477,
36:21the bishop of Cyprus,
36:23Anthemios,
36:23had a strange dream.
36:25In the dream,
36:26Saint Barnabas appeared
36:27and said,
36:28My grave is in that place.
36:30Come and find me.
36:31Anthemios took this seriously.
36:33He went with his team
36:34near the ruins of Salamis
36:36and he found what he was looking for.
36:38A cave.
36:40Inside it,
36:41a tomb.
36:42Inside the tomb,
36:44bones.
36:44And on the bones,
36:46a handwritten gospel.
36:48For centuries,
36:49this place was protected.
36:51Until modern times.
36:53Researcher Hamza Yardimcioglu
36:55personally entered this cave.
36:57He saw the tomb.
36:58He saw the heavy marble block on it.
37:00It could not be moved
37:02until 1996.
37:04During filming in Cyprus,
37:06Yardimcioglu spoke with a worker
37:08who had been working at the monastery
37:09for 25 years.
37:11The man hesitated.
37:13Years had passed,
37:14but the fear was still visible on him.
37:16He did not want to speak.
37:18But finally,
37:19he said,
37:20Yes.
37:22That night,
37:23there were soldiers here.
37:24They said it was an exercise.
37:26They sent us to the other building.
37:28In the morning,
37:29we saw...
37:30He did not finish his sentence.
37:33An investigation was started
37:34after this event.
37:35But shortly after,
37:37it was closed.
37:39So what was taken
37:40from the monastery that night?
37:42According to some accounts,
37:44the object removed
37:45was large and heavy.
37:47But these details
37:48are not officially confirmed.
37:50So only one question remains.
37:52What really happened that night?
37:55One of the people
37:56who followed this question
37:57was Kutlu Adali,
37:59a journalist from Cyprus.
38:02He wrote about this incident
38:03for many years.
38:04He asked,
38:05What kind of exercise is this?
38:08What were they looking for
38:09in the church?
38:10What was taken from there?
38:12After asking these questions,
38:14he received threats.
38:15But he continued writing.
38:17And one night,
38:18he was attacked with a gun
38:21in front of his home.
38:22He lost his life.
38:24His death was taken
38:25to the European Court
38:26of Human Rights.
38:27His family waited for answers.
38:29But the process ended
38:31in a controversial way.
38:33After this event,
38:34similar claims appeared
38:36in different places.
38:37During excavations in Tarsus,
38:40some officials and researchers
38:41said there were unusual developments.
38:44Various claims were made.
38:45For example,
38:46it was claimed
38:46that Professor Aitug Atichi,
38:49a member of Parliament
38:50from Mersin at that time,
38:52received warnings
38:53about this issue.
38:54But such claims
38:55are not officially confirmed.
38:58Officials visiting
38:59the excavation site
39:01were often told,
39:02This is a sensitive matter.
39:04Please wait.
39:05But the expected explanations
39:07were never given.
39:09Researcher and writer,
39:10Refik Kutlua,
39:11also points out
39:12important details
39:13about this topic.
39:14He says that the timing
39:16of some statements
39:17raises questions.
39:19But one thing is certain.
39:21There are many claims
39:22about these events.
39:23But there is no clear,
39:25open explanation
39:26that everyone accepts.
39:28And maybe the most important question
39:30is still the same.
39:32What really happened
39:33to that night?
39:34That,
39:35and now,
39:36let's come to one of the most
39:37mysterious excavations
39:39of our time.
39:40Again,
39:41the location is Turkey,
39:42because this is the land
39:44where Paul and Barnabas stayed,
39:46the country where
39:47Mersin Tarsus is located.
39:49For many years,
39:50this region hosted
39:52early Christians.
39:53Because of this,
39:54excavations are carried out here,
39:56and important materials
39:58have been found.
40:00When November 2016 came,
40:02a very unusual
40:04and sensitive excavation began.
40:07In Tarsus,
40:08in a poor neighborhood,
40:10among small,
40:10damaged houses,
40:12a simple house
40:13with a metal roof,
40:14and in the middle
40:15of this neighborhood,
40:16a normal-looking house
40:17painted pink.
40:18The neighbors did not know
40:20what was under this house.
40:22They did not know
40:23who owned it.
40:24They did not know
40:24who rented it
40:25or why it was used.
40:26But one day,
40:28the door of this house closed,
40:30and sounds started coming
40:31from inside.
40:32Digging sounds.
40:34The excavation in Tarsus
40:36was carried out
40:36under a secrecy order.
40:39Officially secret.
40:40Officially closed.
40:41And officially,
40:43no one was allowed
40:44to approach.
40:45But secrecy did not
40:47stop curiosity.
40:48In a normal archaeological
40:50excavation,
40:51scientists work.
40:52Findings are photographed,
40:54recorded,
40:55and shared with the public.
40:57But in Tarsus,
40:59none of this existed.
41:00Instead,
41:01secrecy orders.
41:03Armed security
41:04with long rifles,
41:05a closed area.
41:07Members of Parliament
41:08wanted to go there.
41:09They were not allowed.
41:11Even the governor
41:12wanted to go.
41:13He was also not allowed.
41:15One of the most
41:16striking claims
41:17comes from what
41:18some members
41:18of Parliament learned.
41:20They said that
41:20before the excavation,
41:22treasure hunters
41:23were already working there
41:24using coordinates
41:25sent directly
41:26from the Vatican.
41:27So the question becomes,
41:29how did the Vatican
41:31know what was under
41:32an ordinary house
41:33in Tarsus?
41:34Two archaeologists
41:36whose identities
41:37were hidden
41:37shared something
41:39unusual.
41:39Their voices
41:40were changed
41:41for security.
41:42They said,
41:43in the excavation area,
41:46very strong frequencies
41:47were being emitted,
41:49beyond what humans
41:50can normally hear.
41:51So strong
41:52that the team
41:53had to take
41:53special measures
41:54to protect their ears.
41:56Local residents
41:57also reported
41:58strange things.
41:59Phones and cars
42:01were often malfunctioning.
42:02Sometimes cars
42:03started by themselves.
42:04While members
42:05of Parliament
42:06were waiting outside,
42:07security forces
42:08told them,
42:09this is a national matter.
42:11Please wait.
42:12Our president
42:13will make a statement.
42:15If what was found
42:17was a normal
42:17archaeological discovery,
42:19the governor
42:20or the Ministry of Culture
42:21would explain it,
42:22but instead,
42:23they said,
42:24the president
42:25will explain.
42:26And that explanation
42:28never came.
42:30So right after
42:32this excavation,
42:33why did Recep Tayyip Erdogan
42:35go to the Vatican?
42:37In politics,
42:37there are no coincidences.
42:40When a head of state
42:41visits another country,
42:42it is usually planned
42:43months in advance.
42:45Unplanned visits
42:46are very rare.
42:47And when they happen,
42:49there is usually
42:50a strong reason behind them.
42:52Right after
42:52the Tarsus excavation,
42:54the president of Turkey,
42:56Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
42:57visited the Vatican.
42:59The excavation
43:00became public
43:01in November 2016.
43:04It stayed in the news
43:05for a few days.
43:07Then,
43:08silence.
43:09And right after
43:10this silence,
43:11Erdogan met
43:11Pope Francis
43:12in the Vatican.
43:13Researcher
43:14Hamza Yadimcioglu
43:16and other sources
43:17do not see
43:17these two events
43:18as unrelated.
43:20Yadimcioglu asks,
43:21after the Tarsus excavation,
43:24why did Pope Francis
43:25meet Erdogan?
43:26This creates
43:27a chain of three links.
43:29First,
43:30the Vatican gives coordinates.
43:32Second,
43:33Turkey digs
43:33and finds something.
43:35Third,
43:35the president of Turkey
43:36visits the Vatican.
43:38This connection
43:39has never been
43:39officially confirmed,
43:41but researchers
43:42believe there is a link.
43:43During the time
43:44of the Tarsus excavation,
43:46the Vatican made
43:47a high-level statement.
43:48We do not have
43:50the Gospel of St. Paul
43:51or Barnabas.
43:53Researcher Refik Kutlua
43:55highlights this point.
43:56No one
43:57asked this question.
43:59No one
44:00asked the Vatican
44:01about it.
44:02So why did the Vatican
44:04feel the need
44:05to make this statement?
44:06In law,
44:07this is called
44:08a spontaneous declaration.
44:10Answering a question
44:11before it is asked
44:12often suggests
44:13that something
44:14is being hidden.
44:15In 325 A.D.,
44:18at the Council of Nicaea,
44:20the Gospel of Barnabas
44:21was banned.
44:22In 366 A.D.,
44:25Pope Damasus
44:26officially banned it.
44:28For centuries,
44:29even saying its name
44:30could lead to death.
44:31In 1982,
44:33it was found in Hakkari.
44:35The state took it.
44:36It was translated
44:37in a secret headquarters.
44:39In 1996,
44:41in Cyprus,
44:42an armed group
44:43came at night.
44:44In 2016,
44:45in Tarsus,
44:46something was found.
44:48It was covered
44:49with secrecy.
44:50The Vatican gave
44:51coordinates.
44:52The president went
44:53to the Vatican.
44:54No explanation came.
44:57The same reaction.
44:58For more than
44:59a thousand years,
45:01the same reaction.
45:03The Vatican's
45:04counter-strategy,
45:05the 1907 operation.
45:07There are two ways
45:08to eliminate a truth.
45:10The first,
45:11destroy it physically.
45:13The second,
45:14replace it
45:15with something false.
45:16To move people away
45:17from the real truth,
45:19you give them
45:19a false version of it.
45:21And this second method
45:22is far more intelligent.
45:24For centuries,
45:25the Vatican tried
45:26to destroy
45:27the Gospel of Barnabas,
45:29but it could not
45:30fully eliminate it.
45:31So a more sophisticated
45:33strategy appeared.
45:34Today,
45:35there is a text
45:36known as
45:37The Gospel of Barnabas.
45:39It is sold in bookstores,
45:41found online,
45:42and translated
45:43into many languages.
45:44This text is known
45:46in Italian.
45:47But stop for a moment.
45:49Barnabas was a Jewish man
45:50from Cyprus.
45:51He lived in the first century.
45:53The languages spoken
45:54in Cyprus at that time
45:56were Aramaic and Greek.
45:58Italian did not even exist
46:00in his world.
46:01And Barnabas did not live
46:03in the 1500s.
46:05So the question
46:06becomes unavoidable.
46:08Where is the original
46:09of this Italian text?
46:11Every translation
46:12comes from an original source,
46:14but this original text
46:15has never been shown publicly.
46:17This known version
46:19created a very
46:20calculated effect.
46:22People said
46:22the Gospel of Barnabas
46:24was found,
46:25but it turned out
46:26to be fake.
46:27And then they stopped
46:28searching for the real one.
46:30This was exactly
46:31the result
46:32the operation wanted.
46:34When we look
46:35at the full picture,
46:36a long-term strategy
46:38appears clearly.
46:39First step,
46:41destroy or hide
46:43the real text.
46:44Second step,
46:46silence those
46:47who have access to it.
46:48Third step,
46:49replace it with
46:50a controlled false version.
46:53Fourth step,
46:54label that version
46:55as written by Muslims.
46:57So anyone searching
46:58for the truth
46:59is automatically labeled
47:00as spreading propaganda,
47:02the copy in Israel
47:04and Rabin's granddaughter.
47:06Some stories
47:07bring together people
47:08who seem completely unrelated.
47:10A Jewish man
47:11from Cyprus
47:12writes a book
47:13in the first century.
47:15Centuries later,
47:16a shepherd finds a copy
47:17in the mountains of Hakkari.
47:19Then a Turkish scholar
47:20translates it
47:21in a secret military location.
47:23And later,
47:24a woman from one
47:25of the most powerful families
47:27in Israel
47:27sees its content.
47:29And her life changes.
47:31According to Hamza Hodja,
47:33the Aramaic text
47:34he translated
47:35contained a very specific detail.
47:37The book was written
47:38in four copies
47:39and the locations
47:41of these copies
47:41were written
47:42inside the text itself.
47:44First copy,
47:45found in Hakkari Uludere.
47:48Second copy,
47:49in Israel.
47:50Third copy,
47:51in the Arabian Peninsula.
47:52Fourth copy,
47:53in northern Iraq.
47:55The name Hamza Hodja reached
47:58was Victoria Rabin,
48:00the granddaughter
48:00of Yitzhak Rabin.
48:02With the support
48:03of a German company,
48:04he shared his findings with her.
48:06The existence
48:07of the Gospel of Barnabas,
48:09its content,
48:10the issue of the four copies,
48:12and the location
48:13of the copy in Israel.
48:15Victoria Rabin took this seriously.
48:18And according to some sources,
48:20through her efforts,
48:20the copy in Israel was found.
48:22It is also claimed
48:24that after seeing the content
48:26of this text,
48:27she became Muslim,
48:28a member of one of the most
48:30powerful families in Israel,
48:32raised in the Jewish faith,
48:35close to the state structure,
48:37sees the Gospel of Barnabas,
48:39and chooses Islam.
48:42This claim is very difficult
48:44to verify.
48:45It is based mainly
48:46on the statements
48:47of Hamza Hodja.
48:49But such claims
48:50are often evaluated
48:51within the wider context
48:52surrounding the Gospel of Barnabas.
48:55Hamza Hodja also mentioned
48:57that he attended her funeral.
48:59This is a very striking statement,
49:01because if true,
49:03it suggests a direct connection
49:05between them.
49:06The importance
49:07of the Israeli copy
49:08is not only
49:09that it is another version
49:11of the Gospel of Barnabas.
49:12According to Hamza Hodja,
49:15this text also contains
49:17information about the location
49:19of two major sacred relics,
49:21the Psalms written by Dawood
49:24in Aramaic,
49:25the Ten Commandments
49:26written by Harun
49:27on copper tablets.
49:29These two objects
49:30are among the most sought-after
49:32sacred relics in the world.
49:34For centuries,
49:36archaeologists,
49:37treasure hunters,
49:38and religious institutions
49:39have been searching for them.
49:41And then there are the claims
49:43that those who see this book
49:45die.
49:46March 5th, 2009,
49:48near the district of Goksun
49:49in Karamamaras,
49:51a snowy, harsh mountain area.
49:53The sky is cloudy.
49:55Visibility is low.
49:57A helicopter crashes
49:58into the mountain.
50:00There are six people inside.
50:01All of them lose their lives.
50:03Among them
50:04is one of the most well-known
50:06and controversial figures
50:07in Turkish politics,
50:09Muhsin Yazicioglu,
50:10the founder and leader
50:12of the Great Unity Party,
50:14and someone who said
50:15he had seen photos
50:16of the Gospel of Barnabas.
50:18The person who shared
50:19this story publicly
50:21is Ahmed Yenilmez.
50:23He had a personal connection
50:25with Yazicioglu.
50:26After his death,
50:28he shared an important detail.
50:30Fifteen days before his death,
50:32Yazicioglu showed him something.
50:34He took out his phone,
50:36opened the screen,
50:37and showed photos
50:38of the Gospel of Barnabas.
50:40Then he said,
50:42Everyone who has seen this
50:43has died.
50:44Did you know that?
50:46According to Yenilmez,
50:48there was another person
50:50present at that moment.
50:51He asked,
50:52Did you see it too?
50:54Yazicioglu answered briefly,
50:56We are seeing it.
50:58And fifteen days later,
51:00he died in that helicopter crash.
51:03The investigation of the crash
51:05was discussed for a long time.
51:07According to the official explanation,
51:09the helicopter crashed
51:10due to bad weather.
51:12But there is a critical detail.
51:15The GPS system was not working.
51:18In a mountainous and snowy area,
51:21this is a major safety issue.
51:23So the question remains,
51:25why was the GPS not working?
51:28The official investigation
51:29did not give a clear answer.
51:31Around the Gospel of Barnabas,
51:33a pattern of deaths
51:34and tragedies
51:35is often mentioned.
51:37Kutlu Adali asked questions
51:39and was killed.
51:41Victoria Rabin is claimed
51:42to have seen the text
51:43and faced an alleged attack.
51:46Hamza Hodja translated it
51:48and had to hide his identity.
51:50Two unnamed archaeologists spoke.
51:53Their voices were altered.
51:54And Muhsin Yazicioglu
51:56saw the photos
51:57and died shortly after.
51:59Some people see this
52:00not as coincidence,
52:02but as a pattern.
52:04Achmet Yenilmez describes
52:05that moment with a heavy tone.
52:08Yazicioglu looked at the photos.
52:10We are seeing it.
52:12And 15 days later,
52:14six people died in a helicopter
52:15with a non-working GPS.
52:18What he thought in those 15 days,
52:20we do not know.
52:21We only know this.
52:23He saw the images.
52:24And then he died.
52:27More than a thousand years have passed.
52:29Since Nicaea,
52:30since the bans,
52:32since the destructions,
52:33since the midnight operations,
52:35since the journalists who were killed,
52:37the politicians who were silenced,
52:39the scholars who hid their identities.
52:41And still,
52:43this book is here.
52:45This story is here.
52:47These questions are here.
52:49In this story,
52:51there are two discoveries
52:52in two different places,
52:54in two different times.
52:55In 477 A.D. in Cyprus,
52:59a tomb found by Bishop Anthemios
53:02with a handwritten text on it.
53:04And in 1983,
53:06in Turkey,
53:07in Hakkari Uludere,
53:09a villager finds a tomb
53:11while searching for a lost sheep.
53:13Between these two discoveries,
53:15there are 1,500 years.
53:19They are hundreds of kilometers apart.
53:21And yet,
53:22in both cases,
53:23the same thing appears.
53:24An Aramaic text
53:26attributed to Barnabas.
53:28And in both cases,
53:29the reaction is the same.
53:32Take it.
53:33Hide it.
53:34Silence it.
53:35So what happens
53:36if this book becomes public?
53:39For the Christian world,
53:40the core doctrines
53:42would be questioned.
53:43The divinity of Isa,
53:45the theology of the cross,
53:46the belief in resurrection,
53:48all would need to be reconsidered.
53:50The authority of the Vatican
53:52would be challenged.
53:53For the Jewish world,
53:55if the book contains information
53:57about the Psalms of Dawud
53:59and the tablets of Harun,
54:01this would create
54:02a major debate in Israel.
54:04For the Muslim world,
54:06this book would support
54:07key Islamic claims
54:08that Isa is a prophet
54:10that the crucifixion
54:11did not happen as believed
54:13and that Muhammad was foretold.
54:15When we look at the message
54:17of the Gospel of Barnabas,
54:18one central idea appears.
54:21One God.
54:23A chain of prophets.
54:25And that this chain continues.
54:27The God of Ibrahim.
54:29The God of Musa.
54:30The God of Isa.
54:31The God of Muhammad.
54:33All the same.
54:34This message has the power
54:36to break the walls
54:37between the three Abrahamic religions.
54:39And maybe that is why
54:41this book has been suppressed
54:42for centuries.
54:43In the first century,
54:45Barnabas wrote
54:46what he heard from Isa.
54:47He was killed.
54:49Thrown into a swamp.
54:51His students saved him.
54:52In 477,
54:54Anthemios found him.
54:56In 366,
54:58the book was banned.
54:59Centuries passed.
55:01In 1983,
55:02a sheep was lost in Hakkari.
55:04And on a tomb,
55:06that text was found again.
55:07In 1984,
55:09Hamza Hodja translated it.
55:11He spoke about it.
55:12But he was silenced.
55:14In 1996,
55:1613 armed men
55:17came at night in Cyprus.
55:19In 2009,
55:21Muhsin Yazicioglu
55:22saw the photos.
55:2415 days later,
55:25he died.
55:26In 2016,
55:28an excavation happened in Tarsus.
55:31Even the governor
55:31could not enter.
55:33Erdogan went to the Vatican.
55:34No explanation came.
55:36And today,
55:37this story is still here.
55:39An unbroken chain.
55:41The story of the Gospel of Barnabas
55:43shows something very clear.
55:44If a truth is strong enough,
55:46it cannot be completely hidden.
55:48You can ban it.
55:49You can burn it.
55:50You can silence it.
55:51You can kill people.
55:53But you cannot destroy the truth.
55:56Because truth lives in human memory,
55:58in human conscience,
56:00and in human curiosity.
56:01And as long as these three exist,
56:04no ban,
56:06no operation,
56:07and no false version
56:08can erase it completely.
