[kj] OT: Da Vinci Code

Fri Feb 4 08:57:17 EST 2005

who would you believe ? a church that declares JC as the Son of God circa
325 a.d. and his mam as a virgin even later or anybody else who takes a
stab at the truth ?

Good program,

I think the whole Mary Magdalene thing needs closer examination, it is
quite evident (looking at the Gnostic scriptures) that she was quite
comprehensively written out of the bible in the early drafts (disciple envy
I would guess)

The rest of the program made Dan Brown (and Michael Baigent) look like a
bit of a fool . . which is no bad thing :)

I am amazed Laurence Gardner didn't manage to get a look in though

Marc.

Subject:        [kj] OT: Da Vinci Code

There was two hour documentary on British telly last night completely
debunking the basic thesis of the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code. I only mention
this as Jaz obviously has a sympathy with the idea that Mary Magdeline
(sp??) was the wife of Christ and came to Europe with their child, Sarah
(and also because I've a bit of an interest in all that esoteric stuff
myself).

A small French town down in "Grail Land" (SW France) celebrates the arrival

of these historical figures every year, but the locals say they don't
believe them to have been Mary plus daughter Sarah. Instead it was a few
other non-Bible related travellers from the Middle East with a servant
called Sarah.

Everything else about the Grail story was ripped to shreds too (such as the

Priory of Sion, which was apparently an elaborate surrealist hoax), making
Dan Brown look like a prick when, during some library footage of an
interview with him, he argued enthusiastically for the validity of the
whole
thing.

Anyway, I'm not too bothered either way, just mentioning it for its vague
KJ
relevance. Jaz's opera was about this subject and I'm sure there are some
references to Magdeline on KJ 2003, although I've not really analysed the
lyrics. "Blessed Mother come to meee..." might be one though. And of course

his partnership with that fantacist bloke Garnier, which was all about the
Grail bloodline. Interesting theory while it lasted though.
