In 1963 a Greek Catholic priest by the name of Isa Rashid discovered the actual burial cave of Jmmanuel. On several occasions, Rashid took Billy Meier to the burial cave which was filled with a great deal of dirt and sand. Over the course of several excavations, Meier discovered a bundle of ancient Aramaic scrolls buried under a flat rock. Rashid and Meier took the package back to Rashid's home for analysis. The package contained 4 scrolls which were wrapped in animal skin and encased in a preservative resin. The scrolls were obviously extremly old and very fragile but the Aramaic writing was clearly legible.

Rashid was able to read Aramaic and they soon discovered what, today, is called the Talmud Jmmanuel. Rashid agreed to translate the scrolls into Meier's native language - German. It was Rashid’s wish that his name not be publicized. He feared, and rightfully so, that he would be persecuted by the Church and the Israelis and perhaps even be assassinated, a possibility that later became true.

The author of the scrolls was a contemporary and disciple of Jmmanuel who was known by the name of Judas Ischarioth (Iscariot). For about 2000 years he has been wrongly denounced as the traitor of Jmmanuel, although he had nothing to do with the betrayal. This ugly deed was actually carried out by Juda Iharioth (Ihariot), the son of a Pharisee.

In addition to the scrolls, Meier also found two items worth mentioning. The first item pictured above is a small fragment of some type of mineral. It appears to consist of many gossamer-thin layers of material and according to a Swiss mineralogist appears to be gypsum. Billy said this item was actually a gift to Jmmanuel from his father Gabriel.

The other item pictured below is a small clay figurine which came from India.
