Lost Gospel of Peter

In 1886 A.D. the lost Gospel of Peter was found in a tomb in Akhmimin Egypt. It is believed to have been written in the first to second century, roughly 150 AD. In 1886 archaeologist Urbain Bouriant discovered the The Gospel According to Peter in an Egyptian Monks grave. Several other early Christian fathers referred to this Gospel, like Serapion, Bishop of Antioch, in 190 A.D.; Origen, historian, in 253 A.D.; Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea in 300 A.D.; Theodoret in 455 in his Religious History said that the Nazarenes used The Gospel According to Peter; and Justin Martyr includes the Memoirs of Peter in his "Apostolic Memoirs." The fact that Bible scholars have always acknowledged that this Gospel according to Peter existed but it was never found, and now it was found in the late 1800's with all carbon dating and writing styles matching to the 1st century period is remarkable.
Here are some fascinating finds within the Gospel of Peter:
1. Verse 5 and 6. Darkness fell upon the land at noon day. Amidst the confusion people were using lamps and still couldn't see. "And many went about with lamps, supposing that it was night, and fell down." Vs. 6 says the whole earth quaked. This is entirely consistent with the Book of Mormons account from the America's of the quakes and darkness that would allow no light or fire. 3 Nephi 8:19-23 after the earthquake, darkness. "20 And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could feel the vapor of darkness;
21 And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled with their fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not be any light at all;
22 And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land.
23 And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them."
2. Verse 10, several witnesses to this event as Jesus is Resurrected see three men followed by a cross. Two of whom reach heaven and the third went somewhere else. "The heads of the two they saw had heads that reached up to heaven, but the head of him that was led by them wen beyond heaven. 4 And they heard a voice out of the heavens saying, "Have you preached unto them that sleep?" 5 The answer that was heard from the cross was, "Yes!"
Greg commentary, this is remarkable because of the Latter Day Saint belief in the the plan of Salvation and the work for the dead. More than 50 years before this document was discovered. The Prophet of the restoration Joseph Smith taught that Jesus Christ went and taught to souls who were in a spirit prison during the period of time of his Crucifiction and Resurrection.
