Reminds me of an X-files episode, “The Lazarus Bowl.” The story line was that a Christ called Lazarus forth from the tomb a potter making a bowl nearby inadvertently made a rudimentary phonograph recording of Christ’s words in the surface of the bowl which had the power to reanimate the dead.
I love that ep. Hollywood A.D.
“I am the bearded cow-like sea beast.”
I’m not sure I’ve seen that, but if it was from the original series (not the reboot, which I’ve mostly not seen) I’ve probably just forgotten.

It’s usual for Carter et al to incorporate actual fringe literature into story ideas and plots.
