Jesus Christ and Buddhist beliefs?

Some believe that Jesus during his missing years travelled to India where he learned Hinduism and Buddhism. They believe that he brought this information back to the Middle East and that Christianity is nothing more than these eastern religions adapted to monotheistic beliefs of the Old Testament. Considering that the Eastern religions believe in reincarnation, do you think that this would explain the Christian belief that one day Christ will return?

Eh I dunno

Christianity is kind of a hodge podge of pagan religions anyways.

I think this Jesus was just the Hebrew messiah story that so many other older religions had.

Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Dionysus, etc..
