I have read in many books that he is mentioned in ancient texts from Egypt and India, where they called him Isa. I have also found this on the Internet by googling Jesus' lost years. These texts mention him speaking and learning. This makes some sense since there is mention of Hindu and Buddhist spiritual leaders (as well as people from other religions) levitating during deep meditation. ( Jesus walking on water.)

There are 7 steps to 'doing as Jesus did', and the toughest one is to live your life by Love waiting for God to call you to do the special work He has prepared you for in the world.
That's why Jesus spent 30 years doing this third step (first 2 = (A) be born of God, and (B) know the Torah more thoroughly than your own adulthood, your own genderhood).
He lived at home, in his own village, practising what he would later teach, learning to be a carpenter long before power tools were a glint in antone's eye.

He was working as a capenter and carrying on his father Joseph's trade and supporting the family.
Mark 6:1Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
"Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
Jesus didn't go preaching in other countries.
Matthew 15
21Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession."
23Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."
24He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."

From age 13-30 the Bible is silent on His life. I wish we knew more. I guess I will have to wait for Heaven to ask Him.

No! At home assisting his earthly father, who as we know, was a carpenter. He was preparing himself for his mission.
In Luke 2:42-46 we read; And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Then verse 49; And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
He was also learning to resist evil and choose the good as is recorded in Isaiah concerning his birth.
Isaiah 7:15-16; Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
