Description

From royal and suppressed archives comes documented proof of the heritage of Jesus in the West and the long awaited discovery of the Holy Grail. In fulfilling this time-honored quest, penetrating new light is cast upon the Grail Code of Service and the venerated feminine element, upheld in chivalry but forsaken by the Church in order to forge a male dominated society.This unique work offers revelatory insight concerning the descendant heirs of Jesus and his brother James while, in documenting a hidden legacy of the Messiah, it unveils hitherto guarded facts about characters such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea. Tracing the sacred lineage through centuries of persecution and Inquisition, "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" reveals a systematic suppression of authentic records and a strategic manipulation of the New Testament Gospels.Featuring all the charm and adventure of Arthurial romance, coupled with enthralling Rosicrucian and Templar disclosures, this extraordinary work has a cutting edge of intrigue that removes the established blanket of enigma to expose one of the greatest conspiracies ever told.… (more)

Basically a new version of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. To make it new, they talk more about the Dead Sea Scrolls and throw in some Celtic stuff, and lastly make a stupidly silly claim that some Belgian guy is the true King of Scotland. Then let's make up cool chivalric titles and give them to ourselves

and friends. Yeah! Lastly, the footnotes and sources are great, but the sources aren't properly analyzed. Some are just bunk.

a great tangle of information that not even the great architect of the universe can sort out. it seems that sir l. and the redoubtable nick de vere have parted ways. i love to read nick de v's book if only for all the delightful names he has for those of us of the tinker nobility, et al. the

rabble. the hoi-polloi, thge mob, the great unwashed, those of us not of the elfin bludd. oh well.

Interesting theory, but will my research into the life of the genealogies hold up.

I don't really know why I read this book. Perhaps I saw the tag line "The hidden lineage of Jesus revealed" and thought I'd better check whether it was me who was directly descended from Jesus.

Turns out Gardner hasn't come to the conclusion that I'm the messiah (or even a naughty boy for that

matter) but I have to say that (SPOILER) when I read the foreword by "Prince Michael of Albany", I guessed (correctly as it turns out) who was Gardner's pick for Jesus' descendant.

In between the foreword and the conclusion, Gardner makes a lot of declarations but provides scant reputable evidence, although to be fair, I wasn't expecting much reputable evidence when I picked the book up.
