Biblical Conspiracies on DVD!

By Simcha Jacobovici in Biblical Conspiracies July 13, 2015

My new series, Biblical Conspiracies (4×1 hour), is now on DVD.

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 symbolsgame of thrones 7 online whose meanings were known only to the initiated…until now.

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: 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 FOUR: BRIDE OF GOD
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 – 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.

I also co-wrote a book with Professor Barrie Wilson on the subject and you can purchase your copy of “The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text That Reveals Jesus’ Marriage to Mary the Magdalene” here.
