The edit currently reads "Although "whitewashed" by history, Jesus was, in fact, black, according to the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: Thin Ice) " but is this not a little more specific than the actual televised dialogue? What's actually spoken can just as easily be interpreted as a reference to persons of Middle-Eastern origin having darker complexions than northern Europeans; whereas saying "Jesus was black" implies African heritage.109.145.16.142talk to me 08:48, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

- Actually the conversation went:
::Bill: "So... Regency England, bit more black than they show in the movies." ::The Doctor: "So was Jesus. History's a whitewash."

Passage from: The Probing Mind by Frank R. Zindler March 1992, Revised October, 1999
When Hipparchus discovered that the vernal equinox had been displaced from Taurus into Aries, he or some of his disciples felt that they had detected the labor of a hitherto unknown god. For astrological reasons, this new god was identified with the ancient Persian god Mithra. The mystery religion known as Mithraism thus was born. Mithra was installed as a Time-Lord or chronocrat, the god who would rule over the Age or Aeon of Aries.
By the time Hipparchus and his Stoic colleagues understood that the vernal equinox had moved from Taurus into Aries, the equinox was almost out of Aries as well. Very soon it would move into Pisces, and a new Time-Lord would be needed. It is not surprising that in the oldest epitaphs and inscriptions the Cross is actually two fish that were used to symbolize the New-Age cult of Pisces.
The Magi mentioned in the second chapter of Matthew's gospel were Mithraic astrologer-priests, probably scouts looking for the new Time-Lord who was to rule the "new age" of Pisces.
End quote from above scholarly work.
So that confirms it! When ancient works refer to Jesus as a Galilean, they mean a Gallifreyan! So there was a transition between Time Lords? I'm going with the idea that Mithra was the Tom Baker version and Jesus was the Peter Davison version.Matthew Babe Stevenson ☎ 03:31, September 29, 2020 (UTC)
