Interesting theory. I don't think it is impossible to believe either... I think that researching Christ's time and comparing it to the assumed time periods and locales where other religions began might give interesting correlations to your theory. Although that's a lot of stuff to look into perhaps...

A friend of mine once told me about a theory he read about, where in the fabled three wise men were from east asia, and when Jesus turned 13 he went on a trip to learn the principles of Taoism from them. I haven't researched it any further, but the idea was interesting... the gifts they brought originated from the east; taoism tries to teach you to respect each other as brothers/sisters; and some extreme taoist or taoist myths envolve being able to heal other people's ailments, walking on water, and other such "miracles".

Again, I have no proof or specific reasoning for this theory, since I heard it from a friend, but figuring out what happened to those lost years could prove useful, maybe.
