Machiventa Melchizedek, his incarnation remembered in Japan = Shinto awareness of a divine incarnation at Salem
The Connection
The UB makes a remarkable claim: "In this country, far-distant from Salem of Palestine, the peoples learned of the incarnation of Machiventa Melchizedek, who dwelt upon earth that the name of God might not be forgotten by mankind." Salem missionary influence reached Japan through proto-Taoist transmission routes.

Historical Evidence(Suggestive evidence)
The UB text directly states that the Salem teachings reached Japan: "In Japan this proto-Taoism was known as Shinto, and in this country, far-distant from Salem of Palestine, the peoples learned of the incarnation of Machiventa Melchizedek." Early Shinto concepts of kami as spiritual presences pervading nature share structural similarities with the Salem teaching of one God manifest in creation. The transmission route (Salem to Mesopotamia to Central Asia to China to Japan) follows documented ancient trade and migration corridors.
