Biblical Conspiracies in Canada!

I’m pleased to announce that my series, Biblical Conspiracies, is airing on Vision TV as of June 1, 2015 at 10pm ET/7pm PT.

Biblical Conspiracies is an unceasing pursuit of stories hiding in the codes and symbols left behind by those with a secret to keep. Each hour-long episode sets out to investigate an unknown story discovered within a genuine, undisputed artifact. Using unique graphic-novel style animation, highly stylized CGI, lavish recreations and cutting-edge forensic science, this series explores the time period in which the artifact existed and what it meant to the people who treasured it. For thousands of years, alternative truths have been hiding in plain sight, locked away with secret codes and symbols whose meanings were known only to the initiated…until now. The series is bound to be a paradigm shifter.

EPISODE ONE: NAILS OF THE CROSS
In 1981, the tomb of the High Priest Caiaphas – who according to the Gospels sent Jesus to the cross – was unearthed in Jerusalem. Along with other artifacts, two Roman nails were recorded in the official excavation report. The film tracks a 5-year investigation into these nails. Using electron microscopes and other state-of-the-art tools, scientists have made a remarkable discovery that proves beyond a doubt that the nails in question were used in a crucifixion. Could these be the nails that crucified Jesus?

EPISODE TWO: SECRETS OF THE SCULPTURE
Michelangelo’s magnificent sculpture – the Pietà – is the most iconic image ever made of the Virgin Mary holding her crucified son. It may very well be the most famous sculpture ever made. And yet, from the moment it was unveiled, it has held an enduring mystery. Why does the mother seem younger than the son? It may seem like an unanswerable question, but a new discovery hints at a millennia old secret. A terra cotta sculpture just attributed to Michelangelo contains a secret symbol that unlocks an untold story of murder, sex and politics with Michelangelo at its center.

EPISODE THREE: THE JAMES REVELATION
“The James Revelation” deals with the most famous/infamous archaeological artifact ever found – the James Ossuary. This 1st century ossuary (bone box) has been at the centre of a decade old controversy. The box originated in Jerusalem. On it, there is an inscription that states: “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. When it comes to this ossuary, the stakes are always high. If authentic, the bone box once held the mortal remains of the man the New Testament calls, “The Brother of the Lord.” This film will tackle the controversial James Ossuary and the fallout from its discovery. The film also tracks Dr. Aryeh Shimron, a noted Canadian-Israel geoarchaeologist, as he attempts to use science to explore a possible link between the James Ossuary and the contentious “Jesus family tomb”, discovered in the Jerusalem suburb of Talpiot. “The James Revelation” will be a world exclusive providing the complete story of the James Ossuary.

EPISODE FOUR: MICHELANGELO’S ANGELS AND DEMONS
In this episode, we uncover the relationship between Michelangelo’s art and his heretical beliefs. In particular, we will explore his ties to a secret society called the “Spirituali”. Will a recently discovered painting in Buffalo, New York prove to be a long, lost Michelangelo? If it is, bidding will start at 300 million dollars. Will it reveal clues about Michelangelo’s secret life? We get exclusive access as the top experts in Rome put the painting through a barrage of tests – IR reflectography, x-ray, pigment analysis, dendrochronology and infrared analysis. But these tests only tell half the story. Chasing a trail of clues takes us on an unexpected journey from 21st century Buffalo to a hidden bunker in 16th century Florence and, finally, to Rome where Michelangelo has fallen in with a dangerous crowd.

EPISODE FIVE: SECRETS OF THE CRUCIFIXION
This episode tracks several interrelated stories: these include the archaeological discovery in Jerusalem of the physical remains of “Mattathiah (Matthew) son of Judah”, also known as Antigonus, the last legitimate king of Israel, and the scientific investigation of a crucified hand – an unprecedented find – unearthed in Antigonus’ tomb. Can the scientific exploration of this find teach us how Jesus was crucified?

EPISODE SIX: BRIDE OF GOD/THE LOST GOSPEL
Gathering dust in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, written by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,500 years old, possibly dating even further Your Daily Health Tips – back to the 1st century and the religious activism of Jesus of Nazareth. After millennia of rumours, this seems to be the first solid written evidence that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The manuscript also recounts that the Magdalene was a gentile, that Jesus and Mary had children and that for their earliest followers they were, essentially, Mr. and Mrs. Messiah.

Vision is also holding a contest to win a signed copy of my new book co-authored with Professor Barrie Wilson, “The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text that Reveals Jesus’ Marriage to Mary the Magdalene”. Check it out for your chance to win.
