TwitterIs 'Bloodline' a real-life 'Indiana Jones' or a Hollywood hoax?
Film fans at Sunday's Cannes Film Festival were the first to see Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The audience watched adventurer archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) following parchment maps that led to a cave with a long-lost treasure, while battling an evil, power-mad Russian agent (Cate Blanchett) and tossing barbs with his old girlfriend, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen).
Ironically, a new documentary called "Bloodline" from filmmakers who have spent years deciphering coded maps found inside buried bottles near an obscure French village called Rennes le Chateau, have also made a startling find in a cave just a few hours drive from Cannes.
Could what they found (the footage above shows a tomb?) be evidence of a Jesus and Mary bloodline and the Holy Grail (as the filmmakers propose)? Or is it merely a hoax more convoluted than the plots of all the "Indiana Jones" films combined?
The only ingredients missing seem to be Indy's bullwhip and felt hat.
Either way, the film's trailer is on Apple's home page today. Watch it here. Then you decide.

It has been proved that Jesus existed (Jesus the man, not proof of Jesus as the son of god). Most likely this Jesus did have children because of the cultural evidence found in the bible, such as, he had a beard (a sign of manhood), he was a Rabi and could preach in the Synagogue (which a man cannot do unless he is married). However, as far as this royal, holy bloodline, you'd have to prove that he was the son of god first.
Bloodline is based on a legend that the Holy Grail was Mary Magdalene and not a metal cup that held Jesus's blood. She was pregnant with Jesus daughter and gave birth to a girl named Sarah. After the death of Jesus Mary took her daughter and escaped to what is now believe to be France. this is what the Divinci Code the movie was all about.
There were a group of people who claimed to be direct descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. They were called the Merovingians, and the Church wiped them out to the last.
Not a hoax. This research has been going on for several years The DaVinci code did more harm than good into research in and around Rennes-le-Château. The book is based on some fact and some imagination. There is a casket, there are bottles and parchments that have been recovered by following clues left at Rennes stations of the cross, which are a bit different than what traditional Catholic churches show. This is not a ploy for more interest in the Indiana Jones movie.
i saw that clip on colorado it was on abc the said they thought that the person under the blankets was jesus it sounds like im crazy but i m just telling u what i saw on tv
Gee. Maybe the tooth fairy is real too!!!
And Santa Claus!
And...
I don't get it. How do you know its Jesus and Mary?
If people wanted others to believe Jesus was the son of God, why would they keep proof that others could uncover no matter how "Guarded" they left them?
Not to mention... it IS the body of Jesus, there IS proof of the bloodline?
Where? is there DNA to say it was Jesus? thousands of people lived and died in Jesus's time, many by crusifixion. How can you say, this is the body of Jesus? There were many Mary's... three of them in fact, at Jesus's death. How can you link one of hundreds of Mary's to Jesus, with No DNA evidence? You have to have Jesus's DNA to compare DNA to. You expect people to not believe Christ was the son of God when there's no solid proof, but you do expect them to simply believe he wasn't without solid proof.
I've been reading the evidence, and those who say "Jesus's ressurection was a hoax, it was Mary who took his body from the tomb..." sound like nut cases to me who are disgruntled with their religion, and are trying to scandalize it.
There is no proof this isn't the earliest form of a Hoax. Christ was very unliked during his life and after his death. Especially by the Jewish elders. You just can't prove its true.
as to the first comment, it is untrue that Jesus had to be married to preach in a Synagouge. It is recorded, even agreed by the Jewish faith, that he spoke in "his father's house" even when he was a young child.
By the way, that's my opinion as a Japanese woman who is Buddhist.
Actually Firefox, Santa claus is TECHNICALLY real.
He was based on a real person - Nicholas, whose parents were extremely rich. He used all of his inheritance to help the poor, needy, under privaleged and suffering.
it was from him that Sain Nick's day, and the Santa Claus legend came about.
but he was a real man.
I'm goin with the Tooth Fairy explanation. Why? Because an Easter Bunny explanation is just too far fetched.
BTW if someone/something is "based" on a real person then TECHNICALLY that someone/something is NOT real.
Actually, there is absolutely no historical proof or record of the existence of Jesus whatsoever. No contemporary Roman records, including the administrative records of Pilate, or any Jewish records whatsoever. The myth that Flavius Josephus or Tacitus left accounts of Jesus from contemporary accounts have been proven to be complete fiction. You would expect that any religion that achieved such worldly currency would have been based on a real man, but there is precedent for that as well. Greek myths, and even older Egyptian god-myths. Read the myths of Horus and then tell me the cult of Jesus could not have been fabricated.
