Doubt it. Construction workers from backwater villages didn’t travel much in them days.

A lot of folk enjoy wishful thinking and drawing unnecessary conclusions. Of course, the Egyptian thing is possible. Egypt was conveniently nextdoor.

Zero. India is a whole awful lot farther away than Egypt, which was right next door.
Well to answer your title “the lost years” his name has been lost firstly, which isn’t a good start
Whilst we understand what Jesus represents
His name has changed through time
Yeshua Hamashaic became Jesous Christos in the time of the Greeks, later to become Jesus Christ
The common thing to point out is, if you went to 0-33AD and called out to Jesus, he most probably wouldn’t know what or who you were calling out to
But the interest in eastern influence I take it is your question
ABSOLUTELY
What everyone fails to understand is that there were indian trade routes that came through that area and so there would have been some sharing of Eastern cultures and beliefs
BUT Yeshua would have been primarily influenced by Jews, Gnostics, Hermeticism, Egyptians, Roman Pantheons, Valentian, Sethian, Early Paganism

One means the lost years of Jesus after the event of crucifixion, he went to the East to convey his message to the lost tribes of Israelite, please, right?

I believe he was greatly influenced by living on that trade route with his father's shop probably quite an interesting gathering spot for travelers and young, curious boys.
there was the spice/silk road with constant movement
buddhist missionaries were already in egypt by jesus' time
The Surprisingly Early History of Christianity in India
Modern Syrian Christians of Kerala believe that the Apostle Thomas visited in A.D. 52 to baptize their ancestors

This is an entirely different topic. I don't dispute Thomas going to India. I'm disputing Jesus going to India. Thomas was driven by the imperative to take the gospel to all the world. Jesus, on the other hand, said that he had come to the lost sheep of Israel.The Surprisingly Early History of Christianity in India

what would be the difference? they both were from the same timeline.

True. But I don't believe there's a direct connection.

I'm 54 years old. I've been into death/black metal for 35+ years and I've been into Satanism, the occult and all kinds of wild stuff.
First time I've seen this. Also the first time I've seen someone claim Hinduism is the truth, the same way Christianity and Islam claim their the truth.
Kali is awesome, by the way.

The argument that the Essenes had their roots in India, as presented by Arthur Findlay in "India in Primitive Christianity," is considered controversial and not widely accepted among scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Findlay's theories, while intriguing, are speculative and lacking solid historical evidence.
Most mainstream scholars and historians do not support the idea of a direct connection between the Essenes and India.
You may want to be more discriminating in which Indian websites you use for your sources. Most Indians are absolutely great people, and many Indians are bonafied scholars. However, there seems to be a movement that believes all good things come from India, or what I refer to as Indian Supremacy. They say ridiculous things like Israelites were really Indians. It's a form of bigotry to take credit for the accomplishments of others. Anyhow, all I'm saying is that these particular sites are highly unreliable, and you really need better sources.
there is no argument that the essenes had their roots in india. the argument was that they were influenced by it and vice versa. not everyone is exclusive; especially those who are monists and coming from different cultures.
