The point was that whatever story was propagated along those vast reaches couldn't be verified by the local population.

But that's introducing another layer of evidence that you're expecting to see. Historians believed for over 2000 years that the Egyptian pyramids were built by slaves because of something written 450BC by Herodotus, a Greek!! That's one of my favourite examples of history gone wrong!

Quote:Curiously, Jerusalem is not counted as one of the "leading churches"... Maybe they were too "orthodox"...

Jerusalem was taken by siege in 70AD, if the early church hadn't expanded its "borders" by then, then it wouldn't have survived would it? The early church spread quite quickly.
