In Egypt, at Nag Hammadi, some apocryphal gospels have been found that hark back to Gnostic Christianity, abolished by the Roman Empire in 400; Gnostic Christianity includes the Gnostic Book of Peter (where Jesus laughs, something never mentioned in the Christian gospels, and Mary Magdalene is considered the most important of Jesus’ followers), the Gnostic Book of Philip (in which Mary Magdalene kisses Jesus on the mouth several times, an act to be read in a spiritual way, not as a sexual act, typical instead of different cultures), the agnostic Apocalypse of Peter (in which Christ is presented in a more human way), the Secret Book of John, the Hypostasis of the Archons, the Sacred Book of the Great Invisible Spirit (the Gospel of the Egyptians); according to Gnostic Christianity, the infinite God manifests himself in us.
