1
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:05,433
Narrator: WAS JESUS REALLY
A FLESH-AND-BLOOD RABBI?
2
00:00:05,467 --> 00:00:08,267
DID HE MARRY AND HAVE CHILDREN?
3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,800
AND WAS HIS WIFE SOMEHOW
SMUGGLED OUT OF JERUSALEM
4
00:00:10,833 --> 00:00:13,200
BY BOAT TO SOUTHERN FRANCE?
5
00:00:13,233 --> 00:00:16,400
IT'S ONE OF THE GREAT MYSTERIES
AND CONSPIRACIES OF OUR TIME,
6
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:20,267
BUT IS IT TRUE?
7
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,233
Rev. Fanthorpe:
I THINK THAT JESUS AND MARY
8
00:00:24,267 --> 00:00:27,567
WERE MORE LIKELY
TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED THAN NOT.
9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,333
AND CERTAINLY,
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN OFFSPRING.
10
00:00:30,367 --> 00:00:33,533
Montgomery: WE KNOW
THAT IT SAYS "SAULUS FILIA,"
11
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:36,500
SO WE KNOW
HE PRODUCED A DAUGHTER.
12
00:00:36,533 --> 00:00:39,700
SO, THIS IS REINFORCING THE FACT
THAT HE WAS MARRIED?
13
00:00:39,733 --> 00:00:42,267
YEAH.
AND THAT HE HAD CHILDREN.
14
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,767
Gough: THE PROTAGONIST
IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S MOVIE
15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,633
IS A MAN NAMED JESUS CHRIST,
16
00:00:47,667 --> 00:00:49,833
AND IF ANYONE ELSE
INTERFERES WITH THAT,
17
00:00:49,867 --> 00:00:52,300
THEN THEY'RE GONNA AIRBRUSH THEM
FROM HISTORY,
18
00:00:52,333 --> 00:00:53,933
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID.
19
00:00:53,967 --> 00:00:58,733
Theakston: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE
TO PROVE THE BLOODLINE THEORY?
20
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:00,700
Howells:
I THINK THERE IS A TOMB.
21
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:04,066
I THINK IT'S AT LEAST
MARY MAGDALENE'S TOMB.
22
00:01:04,067 --> 00:01:06,100
IT MAY BE MORE.
23
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:08,567
THERE MAY BE
THE SON OF MARY MAGDALENE,
24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,100
AND THERE MAY EVEN BE
THE BODY OF JESUS.

Narrator: MANY SCHOLARS,
AUTHORS, AND HISTORIANS
28
00:01:30,367 --> 00:01:32,667
BELIEVE THAT JESUS
COULD, INDEED,
29
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,500
HAVE MARRIED MARY MAGDALENE.
30
00:01:34,533 --> 00:01:37,066
IN SOUTHERN FRANCE,
THERE'S A STRONG TRADITION
31
00:01:37,067 --> 00:01:39,066
THAT SHE ESCAPED
FROM THE HOLY LAND
32
00:01:39,067 --> 00:01:42,433
AND ARRIVED IN FRANCE BY BOAT
NEAR MARSEILLE.
33
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:45,267
ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND,
SHE WAS CARRYING HER CHILD,
34
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:46,867
WHOSE DESCENDANTS THEN MARRIED
35
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:49,533
INTO THE ROYAL FRENCH
MEROVINGIAN LINE,
36
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:52,467
CREATING A SANG RéAL...
A ROYAL BLOODLINE...
37
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,067
WHICH SOME BELIEVE
IS THE TRUE HOLY GRAIL.

[ MOTORBOAT MOTOR WHIRRING ]
39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,733
AND IT'S THIS BLOODLINE
40
00:01:59,767 --> 00:02:04,400
THAT JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON
SET OUT TO INVESTIGATE.
41
00:02:04,433 --> 00:02:07,167
SOME SCHOLARS BELIEVE
THAT IF JESUS WAS A RABBI,
42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,367
THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
VERY UNUSUAL
43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,533
FOR HIM
NOT TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED.
44
00:02:11,567 --> 00:02:14,100
INDEED, IN THE SO-CALLED
GNOSTIC GOSPELS,
45
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:16,400
THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF INTRIGUING REFERENCES
46
00:02:16,433 --> 00:02:17,833
OF JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE
47
00:02:17,867 --> 00:02:20,467
HAVING SOME SORT
OF CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.
48
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,833
Picknett:
IN THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS,
49
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:25,767
SHE IS VERY MUCH DESCRIBED
AS HIS LOVER.
50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,500
IT WAS AN ILLICIT RELATIONSHIP,
51
00:02:28,533 --> 00:02:31,167
AND IT COMES OVER VERY CLEARLY
52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,167
IN THE REACTION
OF THE MEN OF THE MISSION,
53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,433
THE FAMOUS 12 DISCIPLES,
54
00:02:37,467 --> 00:02:39,633
WHO REALLY
DIDN'T GET HER AT ALL.
55
00:02:39,667 --> 00:02:41,333
THEY JUST COULD NOT GET HER.
56
00:02:41,367 --> 00:02:44,967
AND ACTUALLY, SHE WAS A BIT LIKE
YOKO ONO AND THE BEATLES.
57
00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:47,400
YOU KNOW, SHE WAS
THE CUCKOO IN THE NEST.
58
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:48,567
SHE WAS, YOU KNOW,
59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,100
A SORT OF DIVISIVE CHARACTER
AMONG THE MEN.
60
00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:56,667
AND SHE WAS ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW,
READING BETWEEN THE LINES,
61
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,800
VERY MUCH
THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE,
62
00:02:58,833 --> 00:03:00,267
WHERE JESUS WAS CONCERNED.
63
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,967
AND JESUS CLEARLY ADORED HER.
64
00:03:05,433 --> 00:03:08,733
Gough: WHAT IF MARY WAS
THE SPECIAL ONE?
65
00:03:08,767 --> 00:03:12,300
WHAT IF JESUS CHRIST
ATTACHED HIMSELF TO HER
66
00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:16,833
FOR PURPOSES OF
HIS POLITICAL GAIN AND ESTEEM?
67
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:21,100
WHAT IF HE WAS THE PLUS-ONE
OF MARY MAGDALENE?
68
00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:24,433
Theakston:
AS AN ORDAINED PRIEST,
69
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:28,066
HOW DOES YOUR VIEW
ON THE WHOLE BLOODLINE THEORY
70
00:03:28,067 --> 00:03:29,567
SIT WITH YOUR FAITH?
71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,700
Rev. Fanthorpe:
I CAN RECONCILE MY BELIEF
72
00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:35,833
THAT JESUS IS TRULY MAN
AND TRULY GOD
73
00:03:35,867 --> 00:03:40,967
BY BELIEVING THAT HE WAS MARRIED
AND THAT HE HAD CHILDREN
74
00:03:41,067 --> 00:03:43,067
AND THAT HE EXPERIENCED,
75
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:46,367
AS PART OF
HIS TERRESTRIAL HUMANITY,
76
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,167
WHICH WAS GENUINE
AND COMPLETE,
77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,100
THAT'S HIS GODHEAD AND
HIS HUMANITY PERFECTLY COMBINED.
78
00:03:55,133 --> 00:04:00,533
AS A CELIBATE,
HE IS NOT A COMPLETE MAN.
79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,533
THE BIBLE IS QUITE DISMISSIVE
OF MARY MAGDALENE.
80
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:07,500
WOULDN'T YOU SAY?
81
00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:13,333
I THINK THAT WE HAVE
SOME RATHER UNDERHANDED EDITING
82
00:04:13,367 --> 00:04:16,400
BY THE PEOPLE WHO PUT
THE CANONICAL BOOKS TOGETHER
83
00:04:16,433 --> 00:04:18,633
AND THAT WHAT IS OFTEN
REFERRED TO
84
00:04:18,667 --> 00:04:20,633
AS THE NEW TESTAMENT
APOCRYPHA
85
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:23,133
AND SOME OF WHAT CAME OUT
OF QUMRAN
86
00:04:23,167 --> 00:04:24,733
ON THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS
87
00:04:24,767 --> 00:04:28,600
IS VERY INFORMATIVE
AND IS WELL WORTH STUDYING.
88
00:04:28,633 --> 00:04:32,700
IT SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN
THE PURPOSE
89
00:04:32,733 --> 00:04:37,833
OF THOSE WHO PUT THE CANON OF
NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE TOGETHER
90
00:04:37,867 --> 00:04:44,100
TO HAVE AVOIDED REFERENCES
TO CHRIST'S MARRIAGE AND FAMILY.
91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,633
Picknett:
THERE IS THIS EXTRAORDINARY
LITTLE INTERCHANGE,
92
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:50,533
AGAIN,
FROM THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS...
93
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:53,467
BECAUSE YOU WON'T GET ANY
OF THIS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT...
94
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:57,300
BUT IN THE GNOSTIC GOSPELS,
YOU GET THIS EXTRAORDINARY THING
95
00:04:57,333 --> 00:04:59,833
WHERE ONE OF THE MEN,
PROBABLY PETER,
96
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,067
GOES TO JESUS...
97
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,467
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS
COMPLAINING ABOUT HER...
98
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,867
AND HE SAYS,
99
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:07,900
"LORD, WHY DO YOU LOVE HER
MORE THAN YOU LOVE ALL OF US?
100
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,200
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS KISSING HER
ON THE MOUTH?"
101
00:05:10,233 --> 00:05:12,500
AND YOU THINK, "COME ON, BOYS,
WHY DO YOU THINK?"
102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Narrator: INTRIGUINGLY,
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE
103
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:22,567
THAT LEONARDO DA VINCI
104
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,700
LEFT A SUBTLE, HIDDEN MESSAGE
ABOUT THIS RELATIONSHIP
105
00:05:25,733 --> 00:05:30,066
IN ONE OF HIS MOST FAMOUS WORKS,
"THE LAST SUPPER."
106
00:05:30,067 --> 00:05:31,933
ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT,
107
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:34,767
THE PERSON SEATED
AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF JESUS
108
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,967
WAS JOHN THE APOSTLE.
109
00:05:37,067 --> 00:05:41,333
BUT THE FIGURE THAT LEONARDO
DREW LOOKS A LITTLE FEMININE.
110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Picknett: IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
111
00:05:45,833 --> 00:05:48,833
IT MAKES THE POINT
THAT AT THE LAST SUPPER,
112
00:05:48,867 --> 00:05:52,067
THE YOUNG SAINT JOHN
IS LEANING AGAINST JESUS.
113
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:53,967
IN DA VINCI'S PAINTING,
114
00:05:54,067 --> 00:05:58,533
THIS CHARACTER COULDN'T BE
LEANING FURTHER AWAY FROM JESUS.
115
00:05:58,567 --> 00:06:00,800
IT'S AS IF THEY'RE JOINED
AT THE HIP.
116
00:06:00,833 --> 00:06:03,167
BUT, YOU KNOW,
THE CHARACTERS ARE FORMING
117
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,167
A SORT OF "V" SHAPE
BETWEEN THEM.
118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,433
SO HE'S OBVIOUSLY SAYING,
"LOOK AT THIS.
119
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:10,067
THIS IS NOT THE BIBLICAL VERSION
I'M GIVING YOU.
120
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,400
YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING
I REALLY WANT YOU TO LOOK AT."
121
00:06:14,233 --> 00:06:17,100
Narrator: ACCORDING
TO THE BLOODLINE THEORY,
122
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:19,467
MARY MAGDALENE
AND POSSIBLY JESUS,
123
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,567
WHO WAS SAID TO BE A DIRECT
DESCENDANT OF KING DAVID,
124
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,800
WERE HELPED TO ESCAPE
TO SOUTHERN FRANCE,
125
00:06:24,833 --> 00:06:26,300
WHERE THEIR CHILDREN MARRIED
126
00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:29,066
INTO THE MEROVINGIAN LINE
OF FRENCH KINGS,
127
00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:31,267
CREATING A HOLY
DAVIDIC BLOODLINE,
128
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:35,100
WHICH THEN CARRIED ON,
DOWN THROUGH THE CENTURIES.
129
00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:37,867
THERE'S NO SOLID PROOF
TO SUPPORT THIS THEORY,
130
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:39,233
BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING
131
00:06:39,267 --> 00:06:41,800
IS THAT THERE WAS A GROUP
CALLED THE DESPOSYNI...
132
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:43,167
MEANING, "OF THE LORD"...
133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,700
WHO CLAIMED THAT THEY WERE
DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF JESUS
134
00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:49,133
AND WHO WERE SAID
TO HAVE BEEN HUNTED DOWN
135
00:06:49,167 --> 00:06:52,067
BY THE CHURCH IN ROME
IN THE FIRST FEW CENTURIES A.D.
136
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:53,067
NOT ONLY THAT
137
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,233
BUT THERE WERE
JEWISH COMMUNITIES
138
00:06:55,267 --> 00:06:57,600
IN SOUTHERN FRANCE
AT THE SAME TIME,
139
00:06:57,633 --> 00:07:00,867
SOME OF WHOSE RULERS
ALSO CLAIMED TO BE DESCENDED
140
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:02,833
FROM THIS DAVIDIC BLOODLINE.
141
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:11,133
Gough: I THINK THE WHOLE LEGEND
142
00:07:11,167 --> 00:07:13,200
THAT THEY WENT
TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
143
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:14,600
IS ACTUALLY PROBABLY TRUE.
144
00:07:14,633 --> 00:07:16,533
THERE'S A COUPLE REASONS
FOR THAT.
145
00:07:16,567 --> 00:07:17,767
NOT ONLY DID THE ROMANS
146
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,509
HAVE MANY SETTLEMENTS
IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE,
147
00:07:19,533 --> 00:07:21,800
BUT PONTIUS PILATE
HAD A RESIDENCE THERE.
148
00:07:21,833 --> 00:07:24,333
SO IF YOU'VE STRUCK A DEAL
WITH THE ROMANS,
149
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:26,066
AND YOU NEED A PLACE TO HIDE,
150
00:07:26,067 --> 00:07:28,533
THEN WHY NOT SET THAT UP
IN ADVANCE?
151
00:07:28,567 --> 00:07:31,333
AND WHAT MAKES IT A WIN-WIN
FOR EVERYBODY
152
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:33,633
IS THAT WHERE HE GOES
IS FRENCH GAUL.
153
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:37,067
FRENCH GAUL IS
THE CENTER OF THE JEWISH WORLD
154
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:38,700
OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM,
155
00:07:38,733 --> 00:07:40,900
SO IT ONLY MAKES SENSE.
156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,067
Narrator: SO, WHAT IS THE TRUTH
ABOUT THIS BLOODLINE?
157
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,600
WAS JESUS CHRIST
REALLY THE SON OF GOD,
158
00:07:48,633 --> 00:07:51,133
WHO ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN
FROM THE CROSS?
159
00:07:51,167 --> 00:07:52,667
OR WAS HE SIMPLY A RABBI,
160
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,100
A HEALER,
A REVOLUTIONARY,
161
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:57,100
WHO MARRIED AND HAD KIDS
162
00:07:57,133 --> 00:07:59,767
AND WAS EVENTUALLY KILLED
BY THE ROMAN ARMY
163
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,500
FOR OPPOSING THEIR BELIEFS?
164
00:08:01,533 --> 00:08:05,833
ON ONE HAND, YOU HAVE OVER
2,000 YEARS OF CHURCH DOGMA.
165
00:08:05,867 --> 00:08:07,133
ON THE OTHER,
166
00:08:07,167 --> 00:08:11,433
QUITE POSSIBLY THE GREATEST
COVER-UP OF ALL TIME.
167
00:08:12,767 --> 00:08:16,133
THERE ARE LONG-HELD BELIEFS
IN SOUTHERN FRANCE
168
00:08:16,167 --> 00:08:18,900
OF MARY MAGDALENE,
PERHAPS WITH A CHILD,
169
00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:21,267
COMING ASHORE IN A BOAT
NEAR MARSEILLE
170
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,800
AND THEN TRAVELING TO THE SMALL
VILLAGE OF RENNES-LE-CHâTEAU,
171
00:08:24,833 --> 00:08:27,933
WHERE IT'S CLAIMED
SHE WAS SECRETLY BURIED,
172
00:08:27,967 --> 00:08:30,833
PERHAPS WITH JESUS
AND THEIR CHILDREN.
173
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,100
ACCORDING TO THE STORY,
174
00:08:39,133 --> 00:08:42,533
THE VILLAGE PRIEST
AT THE END OF THE 19th CENTURY,
175
00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:45,167
BéRENGER SAUNIèRE,
STUMBLED ACROSS DOCUMENTS
176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,367
DURING THE RENOVATION
OF HIS CHURCH
177
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400
THAT LED HIM TO THE LOCATION
OF SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT...
178
00:08:51,433 --> 00:08:53,833
MAYBE A TREASURE OR RELICS
179
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:55,567
OR MAYBE, SOME SAY,
180
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,667
THE TOMB OF MARY MAGDALENE
AND EVEN JESUS HIMSELF.
181
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,067
EITHER WAY, IT'S A FACT
THAT THIS POOR COUNTRY PRIEST
182
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,533
BECAME FABULOUSLY WEALTHY
ALMOST OVERNIGHT,
183
00:09:07,567 --> 00:09:11,067
BEFORE MEETING
A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED END.
184
00:09:14,433 --> 00:09:17,100
Rev. Fanthorpe:
WAY BACK IN THE 1890s,
185
00:09:17,133 --> 00:09:19,400
AN IMPOVERISHED
VILLAGE PRIEST,
186
00:09:19,433 --> 00:09:21,933
WHO WAS TRYING TO LIVE
ON A STIPEND
187
00:09:21,967 --> 00:09:24,967
THAT'S EQUIVALENT
OF £6 U.K. A YEAR,
188
00:09:25,067 --> 00:09:26,767
OR 50 PENCE A MONTH...
189
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,067
THINK ABOUT THAT...
190
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,067
SAY, JUST UNDER A DOLLAR A MONTH
TO LIVE ON...
191
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:34,500
AND SUDDENLY BECOMES THE RICHEST
MAN IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
192
00:09:34,533 --> 00:09:37,067
AND SPENDS MONEY
LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.
193
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,467
HE COMPLETELY RENOVATES
THE CHURCH,
194
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:42,167
BUILDS HIMSELF
THIS MAGNIFICENT VILLA...
195
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,833
THE VILLA BETHANIA...
196
00:09:43,867 --> 00:09:46,367
PUTS STATUES
'ROUND THE CHURCH,
197
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,133
AND JUST SPENDS
AND SPENDS AND SPENDS.
198
00:09:50,167 --> 00:09:53,067
Theakston: SO, WHERE DID
THE MONEY COME FROM?
199
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:55,067
THAT REMAINS
AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY.
200
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,633
THERE IS
ONE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
201
00:09:57,667 --> 00:10:00,933
THAT SAYS HE WAS BLACKMAILING
THE VATICAN
202
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:03,467
BECAUSE HE HAD DISCOVERED
203
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:08,200
WHAT PURPORTED TO BE
THE TOMB OF MARY MAGDALENE
204
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:10,967
WITH DOCUMENTATION
SUGGESTING
205
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,367
THAT JESUS
HAD NOT BEEN RESURRECTED
206
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,633
BUT HAD SURVIVED
THE CRUCIFIXION,
207
00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:21,400
HAD GONE OFF TO THE SOUTH
OF FRANCE WITH MARY MAGDALENE,
208
00:10:21,433 --> 00:10:23,300
WHERE THEY'D RAISED A FAMILY
209
00:10:23,333 --> 00:10:27,600
AND GIVEN UP ON ALL
THE MESSIANIC IDEAS IN ISRAEL,
210
00:10:27,633 --> 00:10:30,100
AND THAT HAVING
FOUND THIS OUT...
211
00:10:30,133 --> 00:10:31,267
IN OTHER WORDS,
212
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:33,567
SAUNIèRE WAS ABLE TO SAY
TO THE VATICAN,
213
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,333
"BY THE WAY, I FOUND
THAT THE WHOLE OF YOUR CHURCH
214
00:10:36,367 --> 00:10:37,700
IS FOUNDED ON A MISTAKE.
215
00:10:37,733 --> 00:10:41,967
AND THEREFORE, IF YOU PAY ME,
I'LL SHUT UP ABOUT IT."
216
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,100
SO THAT HE WAS ALLEGEDLY
A BLACKMAILER.
217
00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:53,100
Narrator: JAMIE CONTINUES
218
00:10:53,133 --> 00:10:55,333
HIS EXPLORATION
OF RENNES-LE-CHâTEAU
219
00:10:55,367 --> 00:10:57,200
AND IS SHOWN
WHAT COULD BE THE TOMB
220
00:10:57,233 --> 00:11:01,633
WHERE MARY MAGDALENE AND
MAYBE EVEN JESUS ARE BURIED,
221
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:02,733
COMING UP,
222
00:11:02,767 --> 00:11:05,833
WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.
223
00:11:09,833 --> 00:11:11,643
Narrator:
JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON
IS ON THE TRAIL
224
00:11:11,667 --> 00:11:13,176
OF ONE OF THE GREATEST MYSTERIES
OF ALL TIME.
225
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,233
DID JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE
MARRY AND HAVE CHILDREN?
226
00:11:17,267 --> 00:11:20,066
AND ARE THEIR DESCENDANTS
STILL ALIVE TODAY?
227
00:11:20,067 --> 00:11:22,267
IT'S KNOWN
AS THE BLOODLINE THEORY,
228
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:24,900
BUT IS IT TRUE?
229
00:11:24,933 --> 00:11:28,367
Theakston: SO, YOU DO BELIEVE
IN THE BLOODLINE THEORY?
230
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,400
I THINK
THAT JESUS AND MARY
231
00:11:31,433 --> 00:11:34,900
WERE MORE LIKELY
TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED THAN NOT,
232
00:11:34,933 --> 00:11:38,267
AND CERTAINLY, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN OFFSPRING, YEAH.
233
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,133
Narrator: AUTHOR ROBERT HOWELLS
234
00:11:40,167 --> 00:11:42,600
HAS BEEN RESEARCHING
AND INVESTIGATING
235
00:11:42,633 --> 00:11:45,267
THE BLOODLINE MYSTERY
FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
236
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:46,667
HE'S CONVINCED
237
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:51,100
THAT THERE IS SOMETHING OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE BURIED THERE.
238
00:11:51,133 --> 00:11:52,567
I THINK THERE IS A TOMB.
239
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,200
I THINK IT'S AT LEAST
MARY MAGDALENE'S TOMB.
240
00:11:55,233 --> 00:11:56,900
IT MAY BE MORE.
241
00:11:56,933 --> 00:12:01,067
THERE MAY BE
THE SON OF MARY MAGDALENE,
242
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,067
AND THERE MAY EVEN BE
THE BODY OF JESUS.
243
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:04,633
THERE IS THIS IDEA
244
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:07,933
THAT THERE IS A FAMILY TOMB
DOWN THERE,
245
00:12:07,967 --> 00:12:09,700
THAT IN FACT,
MARY MAGDALENE,
246
00:12:09,733 --> 00:12:12,066
WHO'S THOUGHT
TO HAVE COME BACK TO FRANCE,
247
00:12:12,067 --> 00:12:14,267
ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE BODY
BACK WITH HER.
248
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:15,833
JESUS' BODY?
249
00:12:15,867 --> 00:12:19,933
THE IDEA THAT JESUS WAS BURIED
THERE CERTAINLY COMES UP.
250
00:12:19,967 --> 00:12:21,867
IT'S NEVER CLEANLY STATED,
251
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:23,933
AND IT CANNOT BE PROVED
UNLESS IT'S FOUND.
252
00:12:23,967 --> 00:12:26,167
AND THEN HOW DO YOU PROVE
IT'S ACTUALLY JESUS?
253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,433
BUT THE IDEA THAT THERE IS
A FAMILY TOMB OF HIS CHILDREN...
254
00:12:29,467 --> 00:12:30,533
THERE IS...
255
00:12:30,567 --> 00:12:33,267
THE PRIEST PAINTED THE ALTAR
IN HIS CHURCH,
256
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:36,267
AND IN THAT PAINTING
IS MARY MAGDALENE
257
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:37,733
IN A LOCAL CAVE...
258
00:12:37,767 --> 00:12:41,533
YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE LANDSCAPE
AS BEING LOCAL, OUTSIDE...
259
00:12:41,567 --> 00:12:44,133
MARY MAGDALENE
NEXT TO A GRAVE
260
00:12:44,167 --> 00:12:46,533
WITH TWO LIVE SHOOTS
COMING OUT OF IT.
261
00:12:46,567 --> 00:12:48,833
SO THERE IS THIS IDEA
THAT JESUS IS BURIED THERE
262
00:12:48,867 --> 00:12:50,133
AND THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN,
263
00:12:50,167 --> 00:12:52,167
AND THAT'S MARY TENDING
TO THE TOMB,
264
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,066
WHO WOULD ALSO
BE BURIED THERE.
265
00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:57,700
Narrator: SO, COULD HARD
EVIDENCE OF THIS BLOODLINE,
266
00:12:57,733 --> 00:13:01,200
THE TOMB OF MARY MAGDALENE,
AND MAYBE EVEN JESUS
267
00:13:01,233 --> 00:13:05,100
REALLY BE BURIED IN THE
FOOTHILLS OF SOUTHERN FRANCE?
268
00:13:05,133 --> 00:13:06,733
WOULD-BE INDIANA JONESES
269
00:13:06,767 --> 00:13:10,233
FLOCK TO THIS REMOTE AREA
OF THE LANGUEDOC EVERY YEAR
270
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:12,067
BELIEVING THEY ARE,
271
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,867
AND PAT JOKL,
A TREASURE HUNTER FROM GERMANY,
272
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:16,333
IS ONE OF THEM.
273
00:13:16,367 --> 00:13:19,066
HE BELIEVES THAT
THE PRIEST BéRENGER SAUNIèRE
274
00:13:19,067 --> 00:13:22,066
DID LEAVE HIDDEN CLUES
TO AN IMPORTANT SECRET
275
00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:23,833
IN THE DECOR OF THE CHURCH.
276
00:13:23,867 --> 00:13:27,200
Jokl:
SO, THIS IS THE CHURCH.
277
00:13:27,233 --> 00:13:30,867
IT'S A LOT MORE COLORFUL
THAN I'D IMAGINED.
278
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:32,467
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH.
279
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:34,667
IT'S A BIT OVERDONE,
I WOULD SAY.
280
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:37,867
SO, I WANT TO SHOW YOU
SOMETHING.
281
00:13:43,867 --> 00:13:47,833
YES, SO, THIS IS
THE ALTAR PAINTING,
282
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:50,867
AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY
MARY MAGDALENE,
283
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,833
KNEELING THERE IN A CAVE.
284
00:13:52,867 --> 00:13:55,500
AND ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF THAT PAINTING,
285
00:13:55,533 --> 00:13:56,933
YOU SEE A LANDSCAPE.
286
00:13:56,967 --> 00:14:02,067
AND WE EXACTLY FOUND A RUIN
WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS,
287
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,133
AND WE FOUND A CAVE.
288
00:14:03,167 --> 00:14:05,066
AND WHEN YOU LOOK OUT
OF THIS CAVE,
289
00:14:05,067 --> 00:14:06,300
YOU SEE EXACTLY THAT RUIN.
290
00:14:06,333 --> 00:14:08,867
Theakston: SO, WHERE SHE'S
KNEELING, IN THAT CAVE,
291
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:10,967
THAT IS AN ACTUAL...
THAT'S A REAL PLACE NEARBY?
292
00:14:11,067 --> 00:14:13,167
YES, WE BELIEVE SO, YEAH.
293
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,733
AND YOU CAN TELL THAT
BY THE TOPOGRAPHY,
294
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:19,533
THE MOUNTAINS,
AND THE BUILDING?
295
00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:21,400
THIS IS HOW WE DID IT,
YES.
296
00:14:21,433 --> 00:14:23,767
SO, YOU BELIEVE
YOU FOUND THAT CAVE?
297
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,233
WE FOUND A CAVE
298
00:14:25,267 --> 00:14:28,933
WITH THE EXACT MEASURE
OF THE BACKGROUND.
299
00:14:28,967 --> 00:14:32,066
IF IT'S THIS, THE CAVE WHERE
MARY MAGDALENE WAS KNEELING,
300
00:14:32,067 --> 00:14:33,167
WE DON'T KNOW.
301
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,233
SO, HE WAS...
302
00:14:34,267 --> 00:14:37,066
AS YOU COME IN,
THE FIRST THING YOU SEE
303
00:14:37,067 --> 00:14:39,167
IS SAUNIèRE
SHOWING YOU SOMETHING?
304
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,833
THAT'S RIGHT.
305
00:14:40,867 --> 00:14:42,867
OBVIOUSLY,
HE BELIEVED TO BE TRUE.
306
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:44,900
THIS MIGHT BE THE MAIN CLUE,
YEAH.
307
00:14:44,933 --> 00:14:46,867
Narrator: PAT ALSO BELIEVES
308
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:49,533
THAT THE PRIEST
LEFT A HIDDEN CLUE
309
00:14:49,567 --> 00:14:51,800
IN STATION 14 OF THE CROSS.
310
00:14:51,833 --> 00:14:54,933
IT TRADITIONALLY DEPICTS
THE BODY OF THE DEAD JESUS
311
00:14:54,967 --> 00:14:58,667
BEING CARRIED INTO HIS TOMB
AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION.
312
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:01,867
BUT HERE,
THERE'S A FULL MOON IN THE SKY,
313
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:04,267
SETTING THIS SCENE AT NIGHT.
314
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:08,367
IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR JEWS TO TOUCH
DEAD BODIES AFTER SUNDOWN.
315
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,300
SO, WAS THE PRIEST
LEAVING A SUBTLE CLUE
316
00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:14,200
THAT JESUS HADN'T DIED
ON THE CROSS?
317
00:15:14,233 --> 00:15:16,066
Gough: SO, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH,
318
00:15:16,067 --> 00:15:17,567
BY PUTTING
THAT SPANNER IN THE WORKS
319
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,400
OF HAVING A MOON
WHERE THERE SHOULD BE A SUN,
320
00:15:19,433 --> 00:15:22,100
HE'S CALLING OUR ATTENTION
TO THE FACT
321
00:15:22,133 --> 00:15:24,767
THAT WHAT WE BELIEVE
ABOUT THAT EVENT
322
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,833
MAY NOT BE WHAT WE THINK IT IS.
323
00:15:26,867 --> 00:15:29,200
AND IF THIS
HERETICAL INFORMATION
324
00:15:29,233 --> 00:15:33,066
ALSO INCLUDED THE HISTORICAL
INFORMATION ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
325
00:15:33,067 --> 00:15:35,933
WHICH WOULD POSSIBLY HAVE SHOWN
THE SUPERIORITY
326
00:15:35,967 --> 00:15:38,867
OR THE IMPORTANCE, AT LEAST,
OF MARY MAGDALENE,
327
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:41,200
DO WE FIND EVIDENCE FOR THAT?
328
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:45,600
WHAT DID HE DO AFTER HE MADE
THIS ALLEGED DISCOVERY IN 1891?
329
00:15:45,633 --> 00:15:49,066
HE CREATES A TOWER...
THE TOWER OF THE MAGDALENE.
330
00:15:49,067 --> 00:15:51,567
MAGDALENE'S FEAST DAY
IS THE 22nd.
331
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,267
THIS TOWER HAS 22 STEPS,
332
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:57,167
POINTING AT A DEGREE
OF 22 DEGREES,
333
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,933
22 STEPS TO ONE WINDOW
334
00:15:58,967 --> 00:16:01,833
THAT LOOKS OUT UNAMBIGUOUSLY
AT A GROTTO
335
00:16:01,867 --> 00:16:03,500
WHOSE ANCIENT PLACE NAME
336

IN SOUTHERN FRANCE,

WHERE THE LOCAL PRIEST
MAY HAVE LEFT CLUES
354
00:16:46,867 --> 00:16:49,667

IN HIS CHURCH.

AND WHILE HE THINKS
THERE IS A GENUINE MYSTERY

AS TO WHERE THE PRIEST
GOT HIS WEALTH,
360

THE IDEA OF A TOMB
OF MARY MAGDALENE OR JESUS
361
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,533
IN THE AREA
IS TOTAL NONSENSE.
362
00:17:16,567 --> 00:17:20,066
YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY LIKES
A GOOD MYSTERY,
363
00:17:20,067 --> 00:17:22,367
AND PEOPLE
JUST COME FLOCKING HERE
364
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,600
BECAUSE THEY THINK
365
00:17:23,633 --> 00:17:25,533
THAT THERE'S STILL
SOMETHING TO BE FOUND
366
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:27,500
AND THERE MIGHT BE
SOMETHING TO BE FOUND.
367
00:17:27,533 --> 00:17:30,400
YOU KNOW, THE IDEA
THAT YOU OR ME OR SOMEONE
368
00:17:30,433 --> 00:17:33,567
COULD GO DIG A HOLE
AND FIND GOLD OR SOMETHING...
369
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,233
THAT IS ENORMOUSLY APPEALING
TO PEOPLE.
370
00:17:36,267 --> 00:17:38,867
AND I THINK, IN THE END,
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
371
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,633
BUT WHAT IS IT THAT
KEEPS BRINGING PEOPLE BACK?
372
00:17:41,667 --> 00:17:43,333
YOU KNOW,
YEAR AFTER YEAR,
373
00:17:43,367 --> 00:17:45,500
THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
MUCH MONEY,
374
00:17:45,533 --> 00:17:47,533
AND THEY KEEP COMING BACK
AND THEY KEEP DIGGING.
375
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:49,567
I THINK IT MUST BE
THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE PLACE.
376
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,433
I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN
SO MUCH GOING ON HERE
377
00:17:51,467 --> 00:17:53,133
FOR THE LAST
COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS.
378
00:17:53,167 --> 00:17:56,100
THERE'S BEEN TEMPLARS
AND THERE'S BEEN A CRUSADE HERE
379
00:17:56,133 --> 00:17:57,500
AND THERE'S BEEN CATHARS
380
00:17:57,533 --> 00:18:00,700
AND, PRESUMABLY,
MARY MAGDALENE AND JESUS
381
00:18:00,733 --> 00:18:02,533
AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.
382
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:06,066
AND PEOPLE WANT TO BE PART
OF THAT, SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.
383
00:18:06,067 --> 00:18:07,400
AND WHEN THEY'RE HERE,
384

PART OF THE PICTURE.

YOU BELIEVE THAT SAUNIèRE DID
FIND TREASURE UNDER THE CHURCH?
388
00:18:21,367 --> 00:18:23,233
I THINK
HE FOUND SOMETHING.
389
00:18:23,267 --> 00:18:25,933
I MEAN, SOMETHING NEEDS
TO HAVE BEEN THERE
390
00:18:25,967 --> 00:18:28,800
TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE MONEY THAT HE SPENT.
391
00:18:28,833 --> 00:18:31,467
BUT IT HAS...
IF HE FOUND SOMETHING,
392
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,867
IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING
REALISTIC, YOU KNOW?

IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING

IT'S VERY UNLIKELY

00:32:11,067 --> 00:32:12,067
TO REFUTE THAT?
674
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:16,066
THEY CERTAINLY EXIST TODAY.
675
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:18,733
AND THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION
THAT THEY HAVE...
676
00:32:18,767 --> 00:32:21,367
THEIR ORIGINAL INFORMATION
THAT THEY BRING...
677
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,066
BELIES THAT THEY HAVE
SOME KIND OF HISTORY
678
00:32:25,067 --> 00:32:26,600
OF REAL INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE
679
00:32:26,633 --> 00:32:28,967
OF THESE HERESIES
AND THESE SECRETS.
680
00:32:30,833 --> 00:32:32,833
Narrator: PIERRE PLANTARD,
681
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:36,667
THE MAN CLAIMING TO BE THE
PRIORY OF SION'S GRAND MASTER,
682
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:40,733
HAD A HISTORY OF STARTING UP
ESOTERIC GROUPS AND PUBLICATIONS
683
00:32:40,767 --> 00:32:44,100
AND WAS SENTENCED
TO SIX MONTHS IN PRISON IN 1953
684
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:47,167
FOR TRYING TO SELL
MASONIC DEGREES
685
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,300
FOR LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.
686
00:32:51,467 --> 00:32:54,933
WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THE PRIORY OF SION?
687
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:56,833
Rev. Fanthorpe:
THE PRIORY OF SION
688
00:32:56,867 --> 00:33:00,066
IS AN EXTREMELY MYSTERIOUS
ORGANIZATION,
689
00:33:00,067 --> 00:33:04,400
AND THE FIRST OF THE MYSTERIES
IS WHETHER OR NOT IT EXISTS.
690
00:33:04,433 --> 00:33:08,867
NOW, IF IT DOES EXIST,
IF THEY ARE STILL AROUND,
691
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,833
THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO CLAIM TO BE MEMBERS.
692
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:13,967
BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
693
00:33:14,067 --> 00:33:18,500
THAT IF THEY WERE SECRETIVE
AS THEY WOULD SEEM TO BE,
694
00:33:18,533 --> 00:33:24,067
IF THEIR PURPOSES ARE
BEST CARRIED OUT IN SECRET,
695
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,133
THEN THE LAST THING
THEY WOULD WANT IS
696
00:33:26,167 --> 00:33:27,700
SOMEBODY
TO POP UP AND SAY,
697
00:33:27,733 --> 00:33:31,967
"HI, GUYS, I'M THE NEW MASTER
OF THE PRIORY OF SION."
698
00:33:32,067 --> 00:33:37,200
THE PRIORY OF SION
IS A MODERN INVENTION.
699
00:33:37,233 --> 00:33:40,066
IT WAS AN INVENTION
OF THE 1950s.
700
00:33:40,067 --> 00:33:45,133
BUT IT WASN'T,
AS MOST KIND OF CRITICS ASSUMED,
701
00:33:45,167 --> 00:33:47,167
JUST A SIMPLE HOAX.
702
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,967
IT WAS ACTUALLY A COVER STORY.
703
00:33:50,067 --> 00:33:51,567
IT WAS A FRONT.
704
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,267
IT WAS A FRONT
FOR OTHER SECRET SOCIETIES
705
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,467
THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND
A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS...
706
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,200
NOT A THOUSAND YEARS
BUT A COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS.
707
00:34:00,233 --> 00:34:03,833
IT WAS A COVER STORY TO ALLOW
THEM TO DO CERTAIN THINGS
708
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:06,900
WITHOUT BASICALLY REVEALING
THEIR EXISTENCE.
709
00:34:08,767 --> 00:34:12,833
Narrator: EXPERTS WHO HAVE
INVESTIGATED THE PRIORY OF SION
710
00:34:12,867 --> 00:34:14,600
CONCLUDE THAT THERE'S NO DOUBT
711
00:34:14,633 --> 00:34:17,533
THAT PLANTARD AND HIS ASSOCIATES
WORKED OVERTIME,
712
00:34:17,567 --> 00:34:19,600
CREATING DOCUMENTS AND MATERIAL
713
00:34:19,633 --> 00:34:22,433
TO TRY AND MAKE THEIR
ORGANIZATION LOOK CREDIBLE.
714
00:34:22,467 --> 00:34:23,467
THE REAL QUESTION IS
715
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:25,567
WHETHER THE STORY
THAT THEY WERE PROMOTING
716
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,066
ABOUT THE MARRIAGE
OF JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE,
717
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,100
THEIR BLOODLINE,
AND THEIR DESCENDANTS
718
00:34:30,133 --> 00:34:32,767
WAS TRUE OR NOT.
719
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,733
I BELIEVE THAT PIERRE PLANTARD
WAS A FRAUDSTER,
720
00:34:36,767 --> 00:34:40,800
AND THE PRIORY OF SION,
HIS INSIDE JOKE.
721
00:34:40,833 --> 00:34:44,066
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CONTEXT
OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME
722
00:34:44,067 --> 00:34:47,066
AND WHO HE'S ASSOCIATING WITH...
PHILIPPE DE CHéRISEY...
723
00:34:47,067 --> 00:34:50,533
THESE ARE PEOPLE...
AND THE CULTURE SUPPORTS THIS...
724
00:34:50,567 --> 00:34:54,433
WHO DELIGHT IN TAKING THE MICKEY
OUT OF THEIR AUDIENCE.
725
00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:57,733
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO,
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
726
00:34:57,767 --> 00:35:01,100
AND I DON'T THINK
THEY EVER, EVER EXPECTED IT
727
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:05,367
TO GO ON SO LONG
AND TO BE EXECUTED SO WELL.
728
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,600
I BET THEY STARTED IT
AS JUST A WHIMSY OF AN IDEA,
729
00:35:09,633 --> 00:35:11,833
BUT IT'S SO WELL EXECUTED.
730
00:35:11,867 --> 00:35:14,933
THIS IS A LONG-TERM CON.
731
00:35:14,967 --> 00:35:17,700
THIS IS NOT THE WORK
OF AMATEURS.
732
00:35:17,733 --> 00:35:21,700
IT'S A CON, YES, BUT IT'S DONE
VERY PROFESSIONALLY.
733
00:35:34,533 --> 00:35:37,333
Narrator:
THERE'S ANOTHER INTRIGUING CLUE
734
00:35:37,367 --> 00:35:39,066
TO THE BLOODLINE MYSTERY
735
00:35:39,067 --> 00:35:41,267
IN A CHURCH IN CENTRAL LONDON.
736
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:44,100
TUCKED AWAY OFF THE BUSTLE
OF LEICESTER SQUARE
737
00:35:44,133 --> 00:35:47,267
IS THE SMALL
CHURCH OF NOTRE DAME DE FRANCE.
738
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:50,733
SURROUNDED BY CHINATOWN,
NIGHTCLUBS, AND CINEMAS,
739
00:35:50,767 --> 00:35:52,800
MOST PEOPLE
DON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S THERE,
740
00:35:52,833 --> 00:35:54,933
BUT IT HAS ONE
QUITE REMARKABLE FEATURE.
741
00:35:54,967 --> 00:35:59,267
JEAN COCTEAU,
THE FRENCH ARTIST AND FILMMAKER,
742
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,066
PAINTED A MURAL HERE IN 1960.
743
00:36:02,067 --> 00:36:05,267
IT'S CLAIMED THAT HE WAS
ONE OF THE GRAND MASTERS
744
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:06,733
OF THE PRIORY OF SION,
745
00:36:06,767 --> 00:36:10,300
WHICH MAKES WHAT HE PAINTED
THAT MUCH MORE INTERESTING.
746
00:36:10,333 --> 00:36:14,500
HE PAINTED A HUGE MURAL
OF THE CRUCIFIXION
747
00:36:14,533 --> 00:36:17,300
INSIDE A SMALL SIDE CHAPEL,
748
00:36:17,333 --> 00:36:20,300
BUT IT WAS LITTERED
WITH BIZARRE ELEMENTS.
749
00:36:20,333 --> 00:36:21,400
FOR A START,
750
00:36:21,433 --> 00:36:24,267
THE PERSON BEING CRUCIFIED
IS NOT REVEALED,
751
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:26,100
AS WE ONLY SEE THEIR FEET.
752
00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:28,900
WAS THIS A CLEVER REFERENCE
TO THE IDEA
753
00:36:28,933 --> 00:36:32,066
THAT JESUS HADN'T DIED
ON THE CROSS AT ALL?
754
00:36:32,067 --> 00:36:33,367
EQUALLY BIZARRE
755
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,133
IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK
IS THE FIGURE OF JESUS HIMSELF,
756
00:36:37,167 --> 00:36:39,700
COMPLETE WITH A FISHER'S SYMBOL
IN HIS EYE,
757
00:36:39,733 --> 00:36:41,900
LOOKING BACK TOWARDS
THE CRUCIFIXION
758
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:44,733
WITH A DISTINCT FROWN
ON HIS FACE.
759
00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:48,167
ADD TO THIS THE WEEPING FIGURE
OF A YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
760
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,933
FAR TOO YOUNG TO BE HIS MOTHER
761
00:36:49,967 --> 00:36:52,800
BUT POSSIBLY HIS WIFE,
MARY MAGDALENE,
762
00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:55,867
IN A PROMINENT POSITION
NEXT TO THE CROSS.
763
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,267
AND TO CAP IT OFF,
764
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,267
COCTEAU HAS PAINTED HIMSELF
INTO THE SCENE,
765
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:04,800
LOOKING IT OVER WITH
WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WRY SMIRK.
766
00:37:10,667 --> 00:37:14,600
LIKE SO MUCH OF THE MATERIAL
CONNECTED TO THIS MYSTERY,
767
00:37:14,633 --> 00:37:18,066
THE COCTEAU MURAL
IS FASCINATING AND CONTROVERSIAL
768
00:37:18,067 --> 00:37:19,800
BUT NOT DEFINITIVE PROOF.
769
00:37:19,833 --> 00:37:23,567
IN THE NEXT PART,
JAMIE COMES FACE-TO-FACE
770
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,200
WITH WHAT COULD BE HARD EVIDENCE
OF THE BLOODLINE...
771
00:37:26,233 --> 00:37:29,567
A LIVING DESCENDANT
OF JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE,
772
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,533
WHEN "FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
RETURNS.
773
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:39,400
Narrator:
JOURNALIST JAMIE THEAKSTON
774
00:37:39,433 --> 00:37:40,567
HAS BEEN ON THE TRAIL
775
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,800
OF ONE OF THE GREATEST MYSTERIES
OF ALL TIME...
776
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:46,433
THE SO-CALLED BLOODLINE
OF JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE.
777
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:50,467
SO FAR, HIS INVESTIGATION HAS
TAKEN HIM TO SOUTHERN FRANCE,
778
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:53,300
THE POSSIBLE LOCATION
OF THEIR TOMBS...
779
00:37:53,333 --> 00:37:54,767
TO PARIS,
780
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,643
WHERE A SECRET SOCIETY MIGHT
HAVE HIDDEN IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
781
00:37:56,667 --> 00:37:59,567
IN THE NATIONAL LIBRARY...
782
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,667
AND NOW TO LONDON FOR HIS
GREATEST DISCOVERY OF ALL...
783
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:05,867
A MAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE
A LIVING DESCENDANT
784
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:09,267
OF JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE.
785
00:38:12,433 --> 00:38:15,067
PROFESSOR HUGH MONTGOMERY SAYS
786
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,067
THAT HIS FAMILY CAN ACTUALLY
TRACE THEIR LINEAGE
787
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,967
BACK TO THE GOD-KINGS
OF MESOPOTAMIA,
788
00:38:20,067 --> 00:38:22,500
1,000 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST,
789
00:38:22,533 --> 00:38:26,233
THEN ON THROUGH THE HOLY LAND
AND INTO EUROPE.
790
00:38:26,267 --> 00:38:27,833
HE HAS SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE
791
00:38:27,867 --> 00:38:30,767
COLLECTING HARD DOCUMENTARY
EVIDENCE OF THIS BLOODLINE
792
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,733
AND AGREED TO MEET JAMIE
IN A LONDON HOTEL
793
00:38:33,767 --> 00:38:35,433
TO SHOW HIM SOME OF IT.
794
00:38:38,067 --> 00:38:42,633
THIS IS A COPY...
OR A PHOTOGRAPH, ACTUALLY...
795
00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:45,066
OF THESE SYRIAC GOSPELS,
796
00:38:45,067 --> 00:38:48,200
WHICH ARE ACTUALLY IN A COLLEGE
IN CAMBRIDGE,
797
00:38:48,233 --> 00:38:49,733
WHICH ARE WELL-KNOWN.
798
00:38:49,767 --> 00:38:54,533
THEY ARE THE OLDEST KNOWN
VERSIONS OF THE SYRIAC GOSPEL.
799
00:38:54,567 --> 00:39:01,967
SYRIAC IS A VERSION,
IF YOU LIKE, OF ARAMAIC.
800
00:39:02,067 --> 00:39:06,200
IT'S THE EDESSAN AND
NABATEAN VERSION OF ARAMAIC,
801
00:39:06,233 --> 00:39:07,500
WHICH WAS THE LANGUAGE
802
00:39:07,533 --> 00:39:10,667
WHICH JESUS AND HIS BROTHERS
WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE SPOKEN.
803
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:18,533
SO, WHAT WE HAVE IS
A 16th-CENTURY TRANSLATION.
804
00:39:18,567 --> 00:39:20,933
THE IMPORTANT BITS
IS THE LAST BIT...
805
00:39:20,967 --> 00:39:24,800
"JOSEPHUS
EX MARI GENUIT JESU,"
806
00:39:24,833 --> 00:39:32,833
"JOSEPH FROM MARY
PRODUCED JESUS"...
807
00:39:33,067 --> 00:39:36,066
"ET EJUS FRATRES,"
"AND HIS BROTHERS"...
808
00:39:36,067 --> 00:39:38,600
"JUDAS ET JACOBUS,"
"JUDAS AND JACOB."
809
00:39:38,633 --> 00:39:42,800
"ET JESUS GENUIT
EX UXORE MARI DE BETH-ANI,"
810
00:39:42,833 --> 00:39:48,233
"AND JESUS PRODUCED
FROM HIS WIFE, MARY OF BETHANY."
811
00:39:48,267 --> 00:39:49,933
NOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
812
00:39:49,967 --> 00:39:53,533
BUT THERE'S A BIT MISSING,
AND WE CAN'T READ IT,
813
00:39:53,567 --> 00:39:57,267
BUT WE KNOW THAT IT SAYS
"SAULUS FILIA"...
814
00:39:57,300 --> 00:40:00,633
SO WE KNOW HE PRODUCED
A DAUGHTER.
815
00:40:00,667 --> 00:40:05,733
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN
ANY EVIDENCE OF CHILDREN.
816
00:40:05,767 --> 00:40:07,000
OH, ABSOLUTELY.
817
00:40:07,033 --> 00:40:09,400
SO THIS IS REINFORCING THE FACT
THAT HE WAS MARRIED.
818
00:40:09,433 --> 00:40:11,267
YEAH.
AND THAT HE HAD CHILDREN.
819
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:13,233
AND THAT HE HAD CHILDREN.
RIGHT.
820
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,067
Narrator: HUGH SHOWED JAMIE
A COPY OF A PIECE OF PAPYRUS
821
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:25,933
THAT IS BELIEVED TO DATE
FROM THE 4th CENTURY A.D.
822
00:40:25,967 --> 00:40:29,233
SCHOLARS HAVE CALLED IT
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS' WIFE,
823
00:40:29,267 --> 00:40:32,667
BECAUSE WITHIN THE COPTIC TEXT
ARE THE WORDS,
824
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:35,000
"JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'MY WIFE.'"
825
00:40:35,033 --> 00:40:38,367
THE ACADEMIC WORLD IS SPLIT
OVER ITS AUTHENTICITY,
826
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,100
AND THE VATICAN
HAS DECLARED IT A FAKE.
827
00:40:41,133 --> 00:40:45,167
BUT COULD THIS BE THE STRONGEST
WRITTEN PROOF YET OF A MARRIAGE?
828
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:52,100
JESUS HAD A NORMAL FAMILY.
829
00:40:52,133 --> 00:40:54,767
HE HAD A FATHER,
A MOTHER,
830
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,067
A STEPMOTHER,
BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
831
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:00,100
NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS,
PARTICULARLY IF YOU'RE JEWS
832
00:41:00,133 --> 00:41:02,233
AND PARTICULARLY FOR A MEMBER
OF THE UPPER CLASS,
833
00:41:02,267 --> 00:41:03,900
HAD TO MARRY.
834
00:41:03,933 --> 00:41:08,367
NOW, JESUS ACTUALLY SAYS
THAT HE WAS...
835
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,767
YOU KNOW, HE TAUGHT
IN THE TEMPLE.
836
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,967
UNDER THE TORANIC LAW,
837
00:41:14,067 --> 00:41:18,500
YOU HAD TO BE MARRIED
AND HAVE FATHERED A CHILD
838
00:41:18,533 --> 00:41:20,533
TO BE ABLE TO TALK
IN THE TEMPLE.
839
00:41:20,567 --> 00:41:22,400
OTHERWISE,
YOU COULDN'T DO SO.
840
00:41:22,433 --> 00:41:25,233
SO AN UNMARRIED RABBI
WOULD HAVE BEEN UNHEARD OF?
841
00:41:25,267 --> 00:41:27,133
ABSOLUTELY UNHEARD OF,
YEAH.
842
00:41:29,567 --> 00:41:32,800
Gough: I THINK THE REAL VICTIM
OF THE COVER-UP
843
00:41:32,833 --> 00:41:35,100
OF JESUS CHRIST
AND MARY MAGDALENE
844
00:41:35,133 --> 00:41:38,300
IS NOT JUST THE SUPPRESSION
OF THE SACRED FEMININE,
845
00:41:38,333 --> 00:41:43,267
BUT IT'S THE NOTION THAT ONE
HAS TO WIN OUT OVER THE OTHER.
846
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:45,167
"THE SACRED MASCULINE
IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT."
847
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,500
"NO, THE SACRED FEMININE
IS IMPORTANT."
848
00:41:47,533 --> 00:41:51,233
WHAT WE HAD WITH JESUS AND MARY
WAS AN ERA...
849
00:41:51,267 --> 00:41:54,633
A MOMENT IN TIME...
WHEN BOTH COEXISTED.
850
00:41:54,667 --> 00:41:57,066
THE SACRED MASCULINE
AND FEMININE
851
00:41:57,067 --> 00:41:59,066
NEED AND BELONG TO EACH OTHER,
852
00:41:59,067 --> 00:42:02,267
ONE NOT MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE OTHER.
853
00:42:05,167 --> 00:42:07,800
Narrator:
SO, IS THERE ANY HARD EVIDENCE
854
00:42:07,833 --> 00:42:10,400
TO ACTUALLY PROVE
THE BLOODLINE THEORY?
855
00:42:10,433 --> 00:42:12,833
THE STRONGEST CLUES
HAVE LED JAMIE BACK
856
00:42:12,867 --> 00:42:15,400
TO THE LITTLE VILLAGE
OF RENNES-LE-CHâTEAU
857
00:42:15,433 --> 00:42:16,667
AND WHATEVER IT WAS
858
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:19,233
THAT THE PRIEST
BéRENGER SAUNIèRE DISCOVERED
859
00:42:19,267 --> 00:42:21,133
AT THE END OF THE 19th CENTURY.
860
00:42:21,167 --> 00:42:22,767
UNLOCKING THAT MYSTERY
861
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,833
MIGHT REVEAL
SOME TANTALIZING INFORMATION
862
00:42:25,867 --> 00:42:28,533
ABOUT THE BLOODLINE
AND MAYBE EVEN THE TOMBS
863
00:42:28,567 --> 00:42:34,267
OF JESUS, MARY MAGDALENE,
AND THEIR CHILDREN.
864
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,267
Rev. Fanthorpe: THE THEORY,
I THINK, THAT I LIKE THE MOST
865
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:42,833
IS THAT HE DISCOVERED
SOMETHING OF IMMENSE VALUE,
866
00:42:42,867 --> 00:42:46,300
PERHAPS THE TOMB
OF MARY MAGDALENE,
867
00:42:46,333 --> 00:42:49,433
BUT WHATEVER IT WAS
THAT SAUNIèRE FOUND
868
00:42:49,467 --> 00:42:51,900
WOULD HAVE BEEN
OF GREAT RELIGIOUS VALUE
869
00:42:51,933 --> 00:42:56,067
TO THE VATICAN
OR THE HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR.
870
00:42:57,933 --> 00:43:01,167
Theakston: WOULD HE HAVE WANTED
TO KEEP IT IN THE CHURCH,
871
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,433
OR WOULD HE HAVE HIDDEN IT
OUT IN THE MOUNTAINS, YOU KNOW?
872
00:43:04,467 --> 00:43:08,633
Jokl: YES, MAYBE HE TOOK IT,
AND TOOK IT TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
873
00:43:08,667 --> 00:43:13,900
OR HE, UM, HE LEFT IT THERE
WHERE HE FOUND IT
874
00:43:13,933 --> 00:43:15,700
AND TRIED
TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
875
00:43:15,733 --> 00:43:18,900
'CAUSE THAT'S A... IT'S KIND OF
AN INSPIRING VIEW, ISN'T IT?
876
00:43:18,933 --> 00:43:20,066
YEAH.
877
00:43:20,067 --> 00:43:23,567
I MEAN,
YOU CAN IMAGINE SAUNIèRE,
878
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,167
YOU KNOW, THINKING, YOU KNOW,
"I NEED TO HIDE THIS SOMEWHERE."
879
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,500
THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH.
880
00:43:30,533 --> 00:43:32,267
AND THAT WOULD HAVE
INSPIRED HIM, RIGHT?
881
00:43:32,300 --> 00:43:33,400
YEAH.
882
00:43:34,967 --> 00:43:38,600
Narrator: AFTER A TRAIL
THAT'S TAKEN HIM ACROSS EUROPE,
883
00:43:38,633 --> 00:43:41,700
JAMIE'S RESEARCH HAS SHOWN
THAT IT'S POSSIBLE
884
00:43:41,733 --> 00:43:43,233
THAT BéRENGER SAUNIèRE
885
00:43:43,267 --> 00:43:46,433
DID MAKE SOME SORT OF
AN EARTH-SHATTERING DISCOVERY
886
00:43:46,467 --> 00:43:48,600
AT THE END OF THE 19th CENTURY.
887
00:43:48,633 --> 00:43:54,733
WAS IT A FAMILY TOMB OF MARY
MAGDALENE AND JESUS CHRIST...
888
00:43:57,167 --> 00:44:01,333
OR SOME OTHER HARD EVIDENCE
OF THE BLOODLINE THEORY?
889
00:44:01,367 --> 00:44:05,533
MANY PEOPLE DO BELIEVE
THAT TO BE THE CASE.
890
00:44:05,567 --> 00:44:09,567
BUT UNTIL SOMETHING
IS DISCOVERED,
891
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,967
IT WILL REMAIN JUST THAT...
892
00:44:12,067 --> 00:44:15,200
AN INTRIGUING,
HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL,
893
00:44:15,233 --> 00:44:17,300
BUT UNPROVED THEORY.
