Is "Jesus's Lost Tomb" in France?

Suzyamisan_sarde_12881704_600

Oscar-winning director James Cameron's "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" has pretty much been mocked by TV critics, scorned by archealogical experts and dismissed by bibilical scholars. Some even said that finding a 'Jesus son of Joseph' tomb was a bit like finding 'John Smith, son of George Smith' these days.
But hold on to your oxen. Here comes another film- Bloodline -  which claims to have found startling religious artifacts relating to Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene (including coins, a cup and annointing jar) that may be interesting to all who are steeped in the "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" lore. Think th e shadowy order, the Priory of Sion, the unknown treasure of Rennes le Chateau and the ancient legends about Jesus and Mary's marriage, her arrival in St. Maries de la Mer, preaching and even being buried in SW France. These independent filmmakers claim to have found 1st Century relics from Jerusalem near Rennes le Chateau, which may (I said MAY) be the actual relics from the marriage of Jesus and Mary. And there has been some mention of  a.... 'body.'  Your guess is as good as mine as to the veracity of these finds. But  if Cameron's snore bored you to tears, don't despair. Check out this upcoming documentary.

This 'fantasy' leaves too many mysteries unsolved. There can never be any DNA authenticated.

There never was any "unknown treasure of Rennes-le-Chateau", And the "link" between Jesus Christ and the village of Rennes-le-Chateau is a fantasy first created by "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail". The popular version of the Priory of Sion dates from the early 1960s and started as a book-selling enterprise scheme between Gerard de Sede and Pierre Plantard. The real Priory of Sion was originally formed in 1956 as an association devoted to Low-Cost Housing - even the later fantasy version of the Priory of Sion had nothing to do with Christian origins but was alleged to have been founded by Godfrey de Bouillon during the Crusades. Plantard reinvented everything later during the late 1980s and 1990s claiming the Priory of Sion was formed in 1681 at Rennes-le-Chateau and calling the "Dossiers Secrets" the work of a madman influenced by LSD. The whole subject matter is hokum and those involved in making Bloodline-The Movie are merely going to promote the nutcases who have joined on this bandwagon and created their own "relics and parchments".
