1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,560
2000 years ago 13 people sat down
at the most famous dinner in history.

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,320
There was a piece of bread on the table
and a glass of wine.

3
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:27,720
Before someone starts eating
announces that he will be betrayed by one of them,

4
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,560
and his betrayal
will lead to his death.

5
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,920
After that, give the bread to one of
partners and each takes a piece.

6
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,880
He offers them the cup and each takes a sip.

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,800
He tells them:
"Do this, in my memory"

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,600
The speaker was of course Jesus Christ,
and the Last Supper event,

9
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,600
base event
in the Christian faith.

10
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,560
It is also the point of
departure in search of the Holy Grail

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,000
Because the Holy Grail is the cup of
which the disciples drank that night.

12
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Or maybe not?

13
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,600
It is possible to be
something much more mysterious?

14
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,560
Is it the true meaning of the Saint?
Grail hidden in "The Last Supper"?

15
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Is this disciple a woman?

16
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,600
Leonardo Da Vinci is trying to reveal to us
an important secret that history has "forgotten"?

17
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,400
Or even repressed??

18
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,040
The answer seems to be YES according to this
books that caused a worldwide "storm".

19
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,000
It's a thriller called The Da Vinci Code
and it is a contemporary search
of the Holy Grail

20
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,400
Its author, Dan Brown, is
convinced that the Holy Grail exists

21
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000
But according to him it is not a cup, but a secret

22
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,000
A 2000 year old secret

23
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Actually the most important
secret from western history.

24
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.

25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Which was worshiped the same
like Him at the beginning of the church.

26
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,000
But that's not all.

27
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960
They both had a child,

28
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,480
So there is a Holy Bloodline.

29
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,480
But the Catholic Church suppressed the truth.

30
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,480
Being a governed institution
by the hierarchy of men,

31
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
they deleted the marriage, the birth of the child,

32
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,800
and they transformed Maria
Magdalena in a prostitute.

33
00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:03,560
DA VINCI'S REAL CODE

34
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,240
If the novel The Da Vinci Code has
right, the consequences are huge.

35
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:15,000
It means the basis of Christianity
it is a lie
and that the followers of Jesus are among us.

36
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,400
But is it correct?

37
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,240
Hard to say, because although "The Real
The Da Vinci Code" is a novel, a fiction,

38
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400
here is what the author tells us about him:

39
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,960
All the artistic, architectural,
secret rituals, secret societies,
these are all historical facts.

40
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,920
Let's listen one more time

41
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,960
All the artistic, architectural,
secret rituals, secret societies,
these are all historical facts.

42
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I started the search
to the Holy Chalice on his own account

43
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,000
quite confusing and keeping
question from the book:

44
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Mary Magdalene was his wife
Jesus Christ and the mother of his child?

45
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,960
It was the secret discovered by
a bunch of warrior monks?

46
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,360
and kept by a secret society
led by Leonardo Da Vinci?

47
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Or is the Holy Grail a cup?

48
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,280
It could be a difficult journey.

49
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,200
I am a complete beginner in stocks
in search of the Holy Chalice.

50
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,400
I started by following the steps
Dan Brown's hero.

51
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,440
This is King's College of London

52
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,360
but I'm looking for a specific department,

53
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,800
this research institute
for systematic theology.

54
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280
Where is the Institute of
research in systematic theology?

55
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,280
Margin to the corner, then to the left.

56
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,800
In Romanian, the Institute possessed one of the
largest electronic databases in the world.

57
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:08,600
And the heroes use it
to take the trail of the Grail.

58
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,360
It seems very useful.

59
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,120
Hello! This is the Institute
of research in systematic theology?

60
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Not.

61
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Can't we see what he looks like?

62
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,720
Not! It is not a building. It is a group of
people who meet weekly

63
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,160
to discuss matters of
systematic theology, to hold conferences
and other things like this.

64
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,480
-Is it a kind of academic society?
-Yes!

65
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,760
You have the most sophisticated base of
data from the world, about the Holy Grail!

66
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,920
We have the computers
universities, personal ones...

67
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,400
We don't have any other kind of database.

68
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,720
It's not a very encouraging start.

69
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,800
The entire Theological Research Institute
systematic is a nest of readers.

70
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,760
I suppose you will have to
to do my own run.

71
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Look at all this!

72
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,080
There is an ocean of books about the Saint
Grail that can be read for years.

73
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,000
There are no prospectuses either
guiding and honestly speaking

74
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,200
I will not sail through the ocean of books!

75
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,040
But I won't stop here either.

76
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,840
I'll start with this one!

77
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,120
With The Da Vinci Code.
It looks pretty good looking.

78
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,480
I'll start with this one...

79
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,000
By almost 1000 years
before The Da Vinci Code,

80
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,160
most people believed that
The Holy Grail exists in the form of a cup.

81
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Before looking closely
the extraordinary secret of the Grail
from Dan Brown's book,

82
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,000
I need to research first
circumstances and traditions

83
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960
which he contradicts.

84
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,520
My first research is coming...

85
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Is the Holy Grail a cup?

86
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,040
Considering the Holy Grail cup from
the story of Jesus Christ,

87
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:17,160
it's probably pretty big
made of gold inlaid with jewels,
possibly emanating some kind of light.

88
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:25,840
But am I right? Is it a cup? It's something
sky blue, with inlaid jewels?

89
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:35,760
I'm going to find out, because I'm going
to meet someone who believes that
possessed the Holy Grail.

90
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
This is Hawkstone Manorridge
in Shropshire.

91
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,640
I will meet here a man who thinks that
The Holy Grail is a cup and it says that
it is in his possession.

92
00:07:52,480 --> 00:08:00,880
The fact that this can be a
cup from the time of Jesus,

93
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,120
inspiration for the Grail legends

94
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,960
he inspired us too.

95
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:07,300
The story begins in the 18th century

96
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:11,940
when the owner of the castle arranged
a historical park in the garden of the castle

97
00:08:11,980 --> 00:08:16,260
He built castles, whims and
even caves in the hillside.

98
00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:23,300
Then an antiquarian neighbor,
named Thomas Wright filled the place
with old symbols and statues.

99
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:26,860
It was very popular

100
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:31,060
but no one knew there was a place
of keeping for the Holy Grail.

101
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:34,580
Then, in 1920, something strange happened.

102
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:39,580
The workers received his task
move 4 statues from this cave.

103
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:43,500
These were very bulky and heavy.

104
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:45,620
One of them fell and broke.

105
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:52,580
and from the inside appeared a small goblet of
the stone that seemed to have been hidden there.

106
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:55,460
He looks ordinary and nobody
did not give it importance.

107
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,340
He disappeared through the house
among other trifles.

108
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:03,340
until 10 years ago when a
researcher discovered it

109
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:07,300
and identified it as the Holy Grail.

110
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:12,700
The researcher was Graham Philips who
he was working on a book about King Arthur.

111
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:20,340
Through the archive he found a document that suggested
that Wright hid the Holy Grail in the park.

112
00:09:20,380 --> 00:09:23,660
Philips decoded
the clues left by Wright

113
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,740
and discovered what he
call it the Grail of Hawkstone.

114
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:31,100
Is this the Holy Grail?

115
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:34,700
It looks like an egg or mustard rack.

116
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:38,220
but it was identified by the British Museum

117
00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:41,740
as a Roman incense holder from the 1st century.

118
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:44,020
Seems small, doesn't it?

119
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:52,580
It could be used for youth
spices or aromatic oils

120
00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:55,260
thing that fits
with what is written in the Bible

121
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:58,460
that Mary Magdalene s
taken to the tomb of Jesus

122
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,740
to anoint his body with aromatic oils.

123
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:04,900
You don't think this is the cup
from which the communion was drunk!

124
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:08,020
Not! This is a legend
different about the Holy Grail

125
00:10:08,060 --> 00:10:13,540
according to which Mary Magdalene gathered
a few sprinkles of the blood of Jesus.

126
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:18,500
when he saw him in the garden in
near the Holy Sepulcher.

127
00:10:18,580 --> 00:10:23,460
This legend of the Grail
he was born in the same period

128
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,660
with the story of the cup from the Last Supper.

129
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:29,700
This dish could be the one
used by Mary Magdalene.

130
00:10:29,740 --> 00:10:34,460
Some skeptical academics
I say you invented everything.

131
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,620
I didn't invent anything. It is possible
that Thomas Wright invented.

132
00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:41,300
Maybe he made this up
potir has been in his family for a long time.

133
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:46,380
If he was a cheater who
claimed to have the true Grail,

134
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:52,060
I suppose it would be
presented not a simple cup,

135
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:56,900
but a more elaborate vessel, from
period and from the right region.

136
00:10:56,940 --> 00:11:04,340
It's crazy maybe
but this is exactly the kind of place
where you expect a complicated trick.

137
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:18,500
It is, but no one could explain it
why so many constructions, excavations,
just for a joke.

138
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:21,180
It's time to call
a friend or even two.

139
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:26,060
I could not go in search of the Saint
Grail without the support of an expert.

140
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:35,660
Hawkstone was built in the 18th century
and is full of pavilions, ruins, underground,

141
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:41,140
It is representative of attitude
the playful face of architecture and nature.

142
00:11:41,380 --> 00:11:45,580
There is a danger of taking
these things too seriously.

143
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:50,780
Many theories about the Grail
unfortunately they are advanced

144
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:55,740
because someone sees a prank
or a playful medieval symbol

145
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:58,620
and takes it too seriously.

146
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:00,860
Wright never mentioned
that he is the holder of the Grail

147
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:09,140
I can say that he did not mention it
never anything about him

148
00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:14,260
and there is no documentation
that he would have put it there.

149
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,340
Graham is convinced that this is the Grail.

150
00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:20,380
the one who inspired
the legends of the Holy Grail.

151
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:27,660
I don't feel any vibration
coming from him. Absolutely nothing.

152
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:30,300
Apart from that!

153
00:12:31,340 --> 00:12:36,820
But looking closely at him
I think things are not like that.

154
00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:41,060
This is the cup that inspired
thousands of searches? I don't think so.

155
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:44,180
We can find something better, can't we?

156
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:55,220
Here is something more promising. we are
in Valencia, in the south of Spain.

157
00:12:57,940 --> 00:13:00,780
A church? Not! A cathedral!

158
00:13:00,820 --> 00:13:07,380
And inside is a relic
called Santo Caliz, the holy cup.

159
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:11,980
The church takes it very seriously.

160
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:15,980
He was even revered by a pope
as an important holy relic.

161
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,060
Is it the Holy Grail?

162
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,060
Looks impressive!

163
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:29,140
Unfortunately, the Grail is the part
this brown, banal, from the top.

164
00:13:29,180 --> 00:13:38,500
The researchers determined that it is from
the period and from the lands of Jesus.

165
00:13:38,540 --> 00:13:43,220
If we combine the archaeological evidence
with historical truth and tradition,

166
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:48,540
all will lead to
the conclusion that the Holy Grail,

167
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:52,100
subject of so many legends and searches,

168
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:53,860
is this one from Valencia.

169
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:59,580
But there is a problem. Science
he cannot date the stone vessel.

170
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:03,060
Most experts say that
the model is from the third century,

171
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:04,660
200 years after Christ.

172
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:07,740
The mount looks really special

173
00:14:08,060 --> 00:14:11,180
and it was probably because of her
adopted as a Christian relic.

174
00:14:11,220 --> 00:14:15,980
Unfortunately, the mount is a
Arab creation from the 11th century.

175
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:21,740
The first time the Grail of Valencia
appears as the lost cup
from the Last Supper,

176
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:23,980
is the period of the early Middle Ages.

177
00:14:24,020 --> 00:14:30,620
It is a connection between the Grail and the age
environment because the kings of Aragon

178
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:35,300
representatives of Valencia, they were
interested in the matter of the Grail

179
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:38,780
and they owed the church.

180
00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:40,220
So this is the Holy Grail?

181
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:43,540
... No...

182
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:52,260
Of all the legends in which
The Holy Grail appears as a cup,

183
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:57,740
none is accepted by experts as
verosimilar from the historical perspective.

184
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:06,940
Not because no one has found it yet,
but because the Grail did not exist.

185
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:11,860
Someone invented it at 1000
years after the Last Supper.

186
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:18,340
But who? And why do so many believe it?
do people really exist?

187
00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:25,460
The answer is here in France.

188
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:31,180
This is a forest that exists
and at the end of the 11th century.

189
00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:36,340
French writer Chrétien de Troyes
used this gorgeous scenery,

190
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:39,780
as background for one of
the first novels in literature.

191
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:44,020
It was called "Le conte du Graal"
"The Grail Story"

192
00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:49,860
and introduces some characters
very familiar back in the day.

193
00:15:50,260 --> 00:15:52,300
who is it

194
00:15:52,340 --> 00:15:56,220
I am King Arthur, and these
are the Knights of the Round Table.

195
00:15:56,260 --> 00:16:01,820
Go to your master and tell him that
we have a secret mission given by God.

196
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:06,900
If they give us food too
protection during the night,

197
00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:08,980
you can join us in
the search for the Holy Grail.

198
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:11,060
I will ask him but I don't think so
that he will be too interested.

199
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,700
He already has one.

200
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:15,660
In Chretien's original story

201
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:20,300
the judicial knights have
went in search of the Grail.

202
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:23,420
Here's what happened.

203
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:25,780
Percival, one of the Knights of the Round Table,

204
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:30,460
arrived in a mysterious castle
where he witnessed a strange procession.

205
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:34,140
A man carried a spear
from which blood dripped.

206
00:16:34,180 --> 00:16:38,100
and a beautiful maiden
he was carrying a golden platter

207
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:41,260
encrusted with stones
precious, Holy Grail.

208
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:45,540
This is the first appearance
writing of the Grail in the world.

209
00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:50,780
There is no reference to the Grail
before Chretien De Trois.

210
00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:57,460
When Percival woke up the next day
all traces of the procession had disappeared.

211
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,420
He started searching
together with King Arthur

212
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:03,340
to discover the secrets of the Holy Grail.

213
00:17:03,380 --> 00:17:12,340
That's how the story ends,

214
00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:15,940
because Chretien de Trois died before
to be able to write what happened.

215
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:23,060
And so the fascination began
The grail that would last for centuries.

216
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:26,580
for the death of Chretien does not
he lacked only his knights,

217
00:17:26,620 --> 00:17:31,420
of an explanation about the mysterious
Graal but also the readers.

218
00:17:31,460 --> 00:17:36,220
In the minds of readers from the
12 remained a question mark.

219
00:17:36,260 --> 00:17:37,780
What is this object?

220
00:17:37,820 --> 00:17:43,660
The writers of the next 50 years have
became fascinated by this question.

221
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:47,420
and thus the so-called Grail a
became one of the central elements

222
00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:51,980
of knightly stories from the 12th and 13th centuries.

223
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:57,940
There have been countless sequels
of the original story.

224
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:02,860
Other writers took up the idea
and they wrote their own versions.

225
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:09,740
In 30-40 years, 5 versions appeared
main points of the Grail story.

226
00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:16,580
It was an extraordinary explosion if
we think about the rhythm of medieval life.

227
00:18:16,620 --> 00:18:18,220
and to the evolution of literature.

228
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:24,620
Stories were the best literature
in vogue for the aristocrats of the time.

229
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:33,100
In a way, the story of the Grail
it was similar to The Da Vinci Code.

230
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:35,340
Both were Romanian
known, successfully by the public,

231
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:37,980
both wrote about
the search for the holy grail

232
00:18:38,020 --> 00:18:40,140
and more importantly for
our point of view

233
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:43,860
both try to convince
the reader as what is written in them

234
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:44,780
it could be true.

235
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:50,620
First the Grail itself
appears as a real object

236
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:54,660
If you read carefully
the first Grail novel

237
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:59,420
Chretien believes in fashion
clearly in the Last Supper

238
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:07,300
In the references to the Grail he tries
to present it as a possible relic

239
00:19:07,340 --> 00:19:10,020
of the Last Supper.

240
00:19:10,060 --> 00:19:13,940
The latest version of the Gaal story,

241
00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:16,740
also has historical characters,

242
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,260
like the Roman soldier Logines,

243
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,220
who pierces Jesus with a spear,

244
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:25,420
and Joseph of Arimathea the man
who took the body of Jesus.

245
00:19:27,620 --> 00:19:33,060
Many authors trumpeted that the story
it was passed down to them by those who lived it.

246
00:19:33,260 --> 00:19:36,500
And it is not surprising that
readers began to believe

247
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:40,620
like the Holy Grail he is looking for
king arthur and his knights,

248
00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:44,020
in the pages of Chretien's novel,
could exist in reality.

249
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:50,660
But it is only fiction
a novelist, of course.

250
00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:55,660
As a writer he is good. It is original.

251
00:19:55,700 --> 00:20:00,820
For the Middle Ages the idea was not
to be original but traditional.

252
00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:05,620
The idea was to write about
the histories that existed before.

253
00:20:05,660 --> 00:20:09,700
And to treat the idea in
unusual and ingenious way.

254
00:20:09,740 --> 00:20:14,980
As a result, many medieval writers,

255
00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:20,140
declared "I didn't write this
story, I got it from someone else".

256
00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:22,340
But of course this was a game.

257
00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:30,500
They were aware that the public knew
that they were the authors of the stories.

258
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:33,700
Important to the Story
Chretien's grail is ca

259
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:39,220
he didn't get the idea from anyone.
It is a product of his imagination.

260
00:20:39,260 --> 00:20:44,700
A problem is that contemporary people
fascinated by the Holy Grail,

261
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:48,580
develop conspiracy theories,

262
00:20:48,620 --> 00:20:52,580
which suggests that it is
his discovery is imminent

263
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:56,340
It is a wrong interpretation of history.

264
00:20:56,380 --> 00:21:01,380
I look at the past, but I do it at
fiction writings, not historical writings.

265
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:08,420
It's like over 1000 years, people
they will see the past through his literature,

266
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:16,900
suggesting that people believed in
reality in Lord of the Rings.

267
00:21:16,940 --> 00:21:24,980
It is similar to suggesting that in
the Middle Ages in the 11th and 12th centuries

268
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:30,500
there were the Round Table and the knights
of Arthur fascinated by the Holy Grail.

269
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:41,580
Therefore the Grail is a cup but from
sorry, a fiction from a medieval novel.

270
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:45,900
At least that's what they said
until the mid-90s.

271
00:21:46,540 --> 00:21:50,420
Then an extraordinary thing happened.

272
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:58,980
In 1992 it was published
an unusual book

273
00:21:59,020 --> 00:22:01,260
about the Holy Grail and the Holy Blood,

274
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:04,140
It was promoted as writing
historical but it was an action novel.

275
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:09,140
and it was sold as an action novel.
This book changed everything.

276
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:17,220
Why? Because it overturned
800 year old theory,

277
00:22:17,260 --> 00:22:20,740
according to which the Holy Grail was a
the cup containing the blood of Jesus Christ,

278
00:22:20,780 --> 00:22:23,780
saying instead something more radical,

279
00:22:23,820 --> 00:22:28,380
namely that the Holy Grail is a
secret line of followers of Jesus.

280
00:22:28,420 --> 00:22:30,900
As Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene,

281
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:34,500
that they had a child and that
the church kept the truth hidden

282
00:22:34,540 --> 00:22:36,300
for 2000 years.

283
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:39,860
If it sounds familiar, that's normal.

284
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,820
because this theory is at
the basis of the novel "The Da Vinci Code".

285
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:50,100
The new theory introduced
a series of new characters.

286
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:51,780
Mary Magdalene,

287
00:22:51,820 --> 00:22:55,820
an order of Christian soldiers,
called the Knights Templar,

288
00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:59,540
a mysterious organization
called the Abbot of Sion,

289
00:22:59,660 --> 00:23:02,980
and the next step of my search,

290
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:06,300
some French heretics called Cathars.

291
00:23:06,340 --> 00:23:08,780
Were these the guardians of the Holy Grail?

292
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:13,500
They were according to the new theory. Which
says they kept it hidden

293
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:18,580
in this fortress.

294
00:23:26,860 --> 00:23:28,060
My search for the Holy Grail.

295
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,500
they are guided by a map in the book

296
00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:32,900
about the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.

297
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:35,540
map of the grail country.

298
00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:44,380
Here, in the area between
the Spanish border and Marseille.

299
00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:49,140
the book offers the discovery of a series
remarkable historical coincidences,

300
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:52,780
which seem to lead us to the Holy Grail.

301
00:23:53,900 --> 00:24:00,620
It seems like a guide like a puff of smoke, and I would be
wanted there to be some fire behind the smoke.

302
00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:06,780
Smoke seems to surround a sect
heretic, real, called Cathars,

303
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:10,020
active in the south of France,
in the early middle ages,

304
00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:15,140
This, according to local tradition, he hid
The Holy Grail in the mountains of Languedoc.

305
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:26,180
I was told that I am here
some cave paintings,

306
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:40,460
A sword is clearly seen here,
and this is a cross.

307
00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:45,140
and there are more crosses on
the other side from top to bottom.

308
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:48,100
here and up here.

309
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:53,300
I don't understand if you see
but this seems to be a spear.

310
00:24:53,420 --> 00:24:58,460
and this seems like something big too
square, like a box or a book.

311
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:06,380
this one with prominent par
a ship of conquistadors.

312
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:10,580
It looks like this is a chalice.

313
00:25:10,660 --> 00:25:15,780
These are clearly images
from the stories of the 12th and 13th centuries.

314
00:25:15,820 --> 00:25:21,180
the imaginary Grail of King Arthur,
but many believe that these are clues

315
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:25,460
left by the Cathars, a kind of codes,

316
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:29,500
to show that the real Grail wherever it is
find out it is safe and in their possession.

317
00:25:29,540 --> 00:25:33,700
The Holy Blood Grail,
The Holy Grail is not a cup.

318
00:25:33,740 --> 00:25:37,900
The authors say that it is the line of David,

319
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:39,900
his secret offspring
Jesus and Mary Magdalene,

320
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:43,340
and the book suggests that this one
was not only the secret of the Cathars,

321
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:46,860
but the very basis of their heresy.

322
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:53,540
It seems they knew the truth, times
certain truths about Jesus the man.

323
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:58,740
Some of them knew legends about
Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene.

324
00:25:58,780 --> 00:26:02,780
or maybe secrets about the offspring
of Christ from the south of France.

325
00:26:06,420 --> 00:26:12,820
The event that associates the Cathars
with the Holy Grail occurred in 1244,

326
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:19,260
at the end of a 6 month siege
made here in Montsegur, in the Pyrenees.

327
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:25,060
The Cathars led the last fight against
a crusade supported by the Church,

328
00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:28,580
to destroy them.

329
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:34,620
In March 1244, both camps
they knew the end had come.

330
00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:37,940
Attackers gave defenders
a final ultimatum.

331
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:43,220
Either surrender the castle and renounce the heresy
them and they will receive a light punishment,

332
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:47,180
either the castle will be
conquered and they will be killed.

333
00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:51,980
The Cathars resisted 14
days, they celebrated Easter,

334
00:26:52,540 --> 00:26:56,860
then they opened the gates
the castle and they went out.

335
00:26:57,620 --> 00:27:01,380
The soldiers and parishioners received
penitents and were released,

336
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:05,140
and all the named Cathar priests
perfect were burned at the stake.

337
00:27:05,180 --> 00:27:07,940
Or maybe not all of them.

338
00:27:07,980 --> 00:27:13,220
Historical documents say that in
the eve of the expiration of the ultimatum,

339
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:17,580
four perfect ones slipped out
from the castle among the enemy lines,

340
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:19,780
and they reached a safe place.

341
00:27:19,820 --> 00:27:21,980
They were carrying something with them.

342
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:25,860
This mysterious object i
attracted the Grail seekers.

343
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:28,700
Was it a treasure or the Holy Grail?

344
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:35,700
It couldn't be gold or
jewelry, because we know that

345
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:38,500
the gold and jewels had been physically taken
outside the castle a few months ago.

346
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:43,980
So the question remains! What
could they hide perfection under robes?

347
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:51,220
We suggest in the book
our that they were carrying documents.

348
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,500
According to the Holy book
Grail and Holy Blood,

349
00:27:54,540 --> 00:27:57,380
the documents seem to be
contains important secrets,

350
00:27:57,420 --> 00:28:00,220
which the Cathars wanted to
keep them away from the Church,

351
00:28:00,260 --> 00:28:03,540
including perhaps the secret
Holy Bloodline.

352
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:08,700
Historians were not
impressed by this hypothesis.

353
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:21,940
There is evidence that comes mainly from
2 interrogation reports of the inquisition

354
00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:31,580
proving that something was removed from Montsegur in
the night before the surrender of the castle.

355
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:35,540
We don't know what it is about.

356
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:40,540
It is clear that neither the two interrogated
they didn't know what it was about.

357
00:28:40,580 --> 00:28:47,420
That's all we know.
We have no other idea.

358
00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:51,100
Who were the mysterious Cathars?

359
00:28:51,140 --> 00:28:56,060
There is something in their heresy to suggest
that they knew something about the secret lineage?

360
00:28:56,100 --> 00:29:03,180
The Cathars were a heretical sect
which developed in a part of Europe,

361
00:29:03,220 --> 00:29:06,620
especially in the southwest
France in the 12th and 13th centuries.

362
00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:13,060
They deny that God is omnipotent
and that he is the creator of everything that exists.

363
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:17,940
They believed that Satan created the material world

364
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:21,220
and that this was
the explanation of evil in the world.

365
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:25,620
He certainly would not have had a good opinion

366
00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:31,540
about the fact that Jesus Christ would be
married to Maria Magdalena
and would have had children.

367
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:36,700
In their belief, marriage
and procreation were evil.

368
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:40,260
And even if they do
occasionally unavoidable evils,

369
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:45,100
the duty of the perfect was to avoid them.

370
00:29:45,140 --> 00:30:02,900
There is no reason to believe that
they were the guardians of some secret
about Christianity in general.

371
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:08,420
We have no reason to believe that
they were looking after a special object

372
00:30:09,060 --> 00:30:11,100
regardless of whether it is about
Grail or about something else.

373
00:30:11,140 --> 00:30:14,860
There is no evidence that
did these Cathars have a secret?

374
00:30:19,540 --> 00:30:22,740
What kind of secret are you thinking of?

375
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:30,220
The Inquisition made efforts
giants to eliminate them.

376
00:30:30,260 --> 00:30:35,260
That means they knew something
The Inquisition did not want to know.

377
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:39,420
Be a secret related to
direct contact with divinity

378
00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:46,780
either a secret about Jesus or maybe
about the descendants of David in the south of France.

379
00:30:46,820 --> 00:30:48,820
Let's remember that the south of France was the area

380
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:51,060
where the Cathars had the most followers.

381
00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:55,340
Historians like this amaze me!

382
00:30:55,380 --> 00:30:58,980
I do not believe for a moment that the sect of the Cathars
it had something to do with the Holy Grail.

383
00:30:59,020 --> 00:31:03,820
It seems like the lineage theory
royal survived them.

384
00:31:04,220 --> 00:31:06,740
because according to
the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail,

385
00:31:06,780 --> 00:31:11,340
there is another medieval organization
unusual with roots in the land of the Grail.

386
00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:19,020
Like the Cathars, the Knights Templar
were associated with the possession of the treasure.

387
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:22,540
They were accused of heresy and
were destroyed by the Church.

388
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:26,260
Did they discover it too?
do they have the holy grail?

389
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:32,420
Yes, according to The Da Vinci Code
and a bunch of other theories.

390
00:31:32,940 --> 00:31:37,940
I typed "Grail" and "Knights Templar"
in an internet search program,

391
00:31:38,020 --> 00:31:44,380
and 44300 results appeared
including some very interesting ones like

392
00:31:44,460 --> 00:31:48,060
such as the "Knights Templars
and the Grail in Nova Scotia"

393
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:52,820
and this one:
"The Knights Templar and cannabis"...
Great God!

394
00:31:54,660 --> 00:32:01,900
This internet show looks like
connection of the Knights Templar
with the Holy Grail is very violated.

395
00:32:02,780 --> 00:32:08,020
The first thing to say about the Knights
Templars is that they existed in reality.

396
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:12,980
They were a founded monastic order
shortly after the first crusade,

397
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:16,300
to protect the pilgrims who
they traveled through the holy land,

398
00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:26,140
They were based in Jerusalem. At least
this part of their history is real.

399
00:32:30,340 --> 00:32:35,940
This area is the temple mount.

400
00:32:35,980 --> 00:32:40,860
The building with the golden dome is a mosque
located on the site of Herod's temple,

401
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:44,460
built about 40 years ago
before the birth of Jesus.

402
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:49,500
Dan Brown and the authors of the book "Blood
Saint and the Holy Grail" they say

403
00:32:49,540 --> 00:32:55,700
like here, under these ruins, a Templar
he discovered the secret of the Grail.

404
00:33:00,780 --> 00:33:05,340
According to "Holy Blood and Holy Grail"
and with "The Da Vinci Code" we affirm

405
00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:09,860
as one of the missions of the Templars
was to discover the secret of the Grail.

406
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:16,700
A document lost after the crucifixion,
proof that Jesus and Mary Magdalene
they were married and had a child.

407
00:33:16,740 --> 00:33:22,900
And both books say that for 9 years,
the knights dug secretly in the rock,

408
00:33:22,940 --> 00:33:25,420
here under the temple.

409
00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:29,380
What do you think they found?
Templars in Jerusalem?

410
00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:33,260
I don't know what they found, but
they could find many things.

411
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:36,980
One of the manuscripts in the Coptic language,

412
00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:43,260
give a list of storage places
from around the temple and from the country,

413
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:48,140
for documents, stones
precious, gold and cult objects.

414
00:33:48,180 --> 00:33:49,820
They could find any kind of work out of these.

415
00:33:49,860 --> 00:33:51,220
They could find documents.

416
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:55,460
Regardless of what it consisted of,
the discovery was a special thing,

417
00:33:55,500 --> 00:34:00,660
The Templars became
very rich and influential.

418
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:07,020
They have accumulated extensive domains in
Europe and were protected by kings.

419
00:34:07,060 --> 00:34:10,220
And that's not all.

420
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:17,980
I am convinced that there is a heresy in
inside the order of the Templars.

421
00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:25,420
There are too many hardnesses
in the reports of the Inquisition,

422
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:28,460
and we cannot deny this.

423
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:34,700
Another one was thus shaped
approach to Christianity.

424
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:38,940
Finally, the theory supports
for 200 years,

425
00:34:38,980 --> 00:34:43,420
The heretical Templars succeeded
to stay safe.

426
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:48,580
Then in 1307, in an attempt
to own the secret

427
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:51,940
King Philip IV of France attacked them.

428
00:34:51,980 --> 00:34:55,500
It was a perfectly executed shot.

429
00:34:55,540 --> 00:34:59,700
Philip gave them secret orders
officials from the territory of France,

430
00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:03,620
and on Friday, October 13, 1307, they struck.

431
00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:08,260
All Templars in France have
were arrested and interrogated.

432
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:10,140
Many were tortured.

433
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:13,460
In 1311 the pope dissolved the order

434
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:18,340
and one of the strongest
organizations in medieval Europe,

435
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:20,740
simply ceased to exist.

436
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:28,980
It is an attractive theory that
clearly captivated many.

437
00:35:29,620 --> 00:35:33,980
One thing is true. Order a
was accused of heresy and annihilated.

438
00:35:34,020 --> 00:35:38,900
But the rest is
waste paper, say historians.

439
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:42,820
The Templars found nothing under the temple.

440
00:35:42,860 --> 00:35:51,340
We have no evidence of excavations
of Templars in Solomon's stables,

441
00:35:52,500 --> 00:36:01,260
which were approximately at 47 de
meters above the ground in Herod's time

442
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:05,700
Imagine what it means to dig at 50
meters deep. I don't think they did.

443
00:36:05,740 --> 00:36:10,260
If I were a Knight Templar and I wanted to
to dig in search of the Holy Grail,

444
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:13,540
I had to dig deeper
than the height of this wall.

445
00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:20,100
Much deeper. 2.5 times deeper than
height of this wall. It's unbelievable.

446
00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:24,060
In thousands of contemporary documents
there is no proof

447
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:27,980
to associate them with the Grail
or with any other secret.

448
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:31,820
Let's see what they were in
Knights Templar reality.

449
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:38,380
The Templars, the Knights of Christ from
Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem,

450
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:44,860
they were warriors who founded a
religious and military institution,

451
00:36:44,980 --> 00:36:47,860
in Jerusalem around 1120.

452
00:36:48,020 --> 00:36:53,220
They were warriors in chains
to Jerusalem on pilgrimage,

453
00:36:53,260 --> 00:36:56,100
who wanted to do something
practically in the name of God.

454
00:36:56,380 --> 00:37:00,460
From their point of view the most
practical thing they could do,

455
00:37:00,540 --> 00:37:03,620
was to use their swords
fighting to defend the Christians.

456
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:07,300
There is no mystery in it
the connection with the source of their money?

457
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:11,060
They received donations from
the pilgrims who came to the east,

458
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:18,540
clearly people had who
quickly donate thousands of pounds,

459
00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:23,340
people who had gone on crusades and so on
they gave their wealth to keep the Templars,

460
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:27,020
a lot of money came to local monasteries,

461
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:32,620
and the Templars did
something useful with them.

462
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:35,780
In fact wealth and
their geographical spread,

463
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:38,860
it is also due to the nobles who traveled.

464
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:43,180
A noble store at o
Templar monastery a sum

465
00:37:43,220 --> 00:37:45,380
and received a receipt in return.

466
00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:50,300
He was walking with the receipt on the way
to another monastery

467
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:54,420
and here is the receipt
and take the desired amount.

468
00:37:54,460 --> 00:37:58,700
The Knights Templar invented
international banking service.

469
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:02,780
Unusual? Maybe, but not sinister!

470
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,460
And it was certainly not heresy.

471
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:11,380
The unexpected oppression of the Templars
she was not inspired by their knowledge

472
00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:16,100
about the lineage of Jesus, just because
under torture, the Templars denied Christ,

473
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:22,500
As soon as the torture stopped, they said
that they reneged because of torture.

474
00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:28,700
Outside of torture situations, the Templars
they did not admit to denying Christ

475
00:38:28,820 --> 00:38:32,340
and they had nothing to do with either
kind of stuff like that.

476
00:38:33,820 --> 00:38:37,660
In fact, not even the Pope found it
any evidence of the heresy of the Templars

477
00:38:37,820 --> 00:38:40,180
and in 1314 he withdrew all the accusations.

478
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:45,060
He straightened instead
anger towards his own inquisitors,

479
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:47,060
because the testimonies had blossomed.

480
00:38:47,180 --> 00:38:49,620
But then of course it was too late.

481
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:53,740
They were already completed
thousands of queries.

482
00:38:53,780 --> 00:38:59,260
I think the Templars are associated with the Grail
because their extinction in the Middle Ages,

483
00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:02,060
it still has something full of mystery.

484
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:05,980
It was very hard to destroy
each knight separately

485
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:10,860
and it must have happened
something cataclysmic and the people
looking for explanations for this.

486
00:39:10,940 --> 00:39:14,180
But you don't have to dig under
temple to find one.

487
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:18,220
King Philip the Fair of France wanted
their money because they had high taxes

488
00:39:18,340 --> 00:39:21,460
on the lands, therefore
the land produced money.

489
00:39:21,540 --> 00:39:28,780
My opinion is that the Templars, they have
collapsed, because they were too rich,

490
00:39:29,060 --> 00:39:32,460
they no longer had a divine and clear purpose in life

491
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:38,500
and there was someone else who could
to make better use of their money.

492
00:39:38,940 --> 00:39:41,180
That sounds pretty good
convincing to me

493
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:42,820
but there are conspiracy theories,

494
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:45,700
because it was difficult to destroy the bush
of groups of fighting monks.

495
00:39:45,860 --> 00:39:51,260
Inspired by such evidence, it flourishes
the Grail tradition of the Templars.

496
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:57,060
The Da Vinci Code supports
that they hid the Grail

497
00:39:57,220 --> 00:40:00,020
in this splendid
Gothic monastery in Scotland.

498
00:40:02,940 --> 00:40:06,620
And some think it is still there.

499
00:40:13,140 --> 00:40:15,460
I'm halfway there
my quest for the Grail.

500
00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:18,020
and I wasn't very lucky.

501
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:24,260
My clumsiness in search
the real cup are over

502
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:26,260
between the pages of a medieval French novel.

503
00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:31,540
The Cathars, not the Templars, seemed to be the guards
likely Grail from The Da Vinci Code.

504
00:40:31,620 --> 00:40:33,740
That is until now.

505
00:40:33,860 --> 00:40:37,980
But there is no search for the Grail
can miss visiting Rosslyn Chapel.

506
00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:43,740
According to the novel and many other theories
about the Grail something about the Grail

507
00:40:43,780 --> 00:40:49,900
or even this would be hidden
in this splendid Scottish chapel.

508
00:40:53,780 --> 00:41:02,620
If they are right, they are close
The Holy Grail, 3m or 5m away,

509
00:41:03,020 --> 00:41:07,100
because they say, it is
locked somewhere down here.

510
00:41:09,020 --> 00:41:10,540
I feel like I'm in a cage.

511
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:26,860
The Grail seekers were attracted by
Rosslyn Chapel, like flame moths.

512
00:41:27,580 --> 00:41:33,140
That's mainly because of the symbols
extraordinary that some declare

513
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:36,780
as encodings for information
extraordinary about the Holy Grail.

514
00:41:43,060 --> 00:41:49,020
The basis of this theory is: Agents
of the Grail at Rosslyn, guess who?!

515
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:53,660
Knights Templar escaped from
the plot of Philip IV,

516
00:41:53,820 --> 00:41:56,340
they brought the Grail to Scotland.

517
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:07,100
Arriving here, they mixed with the Freemasons
Scots and entrusted them with the Grail

518
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:09,380
for safe keeping.

519
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:12,660
Masons built this chapel
to hide it and they kept the secrets

520
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:24,900
codified in the architecture of the chapel.

521
00:42:26,140 --> 00:42:29,180
-Who built this house?
-William Sinclair built it.

522
00:42:30,660 --> 00:42:35,100
By the years 1440...1448. He needed them
about 50 years to build.

523
00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:39,740
Why is it such a popular place?
among the grail seekers?

524
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:48,940
Mainly because it is
strongly related to the word Grail.

525
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:51,980
Up here, crosses with Grails are built.

526
00:42:52,060 --> 00:42:54,700
Crosses of the Grail?

527
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:59,540
They are called "crosses inlaid with grails".
We have a little spice cup there.

528
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:04,420
- There are about 4000 little grails here.
-Yes.

529
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:14,580
In this place they are everywhere
crosses inlaid with grails.

530
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:20,700
Rosslyn was the object
many theories about the Grail

531
00:43:20,980 --> 00:43:30,020
Some of them say that the secret
The Grail lies somewhere in these pillars.

532
00:43:30,060 --> 00:43:35,620
others like the Grail was
the very head of the Saviour

533
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:37,540
buried here by the Knights Templar.

534
00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:45,860
In The Da Vinci Code the Grail a
was temporarily hidden in Rosslyn

535
00:43:45,980 --> 00:43:48,340
after the Templars were scattered.

536
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:53,140
Some, including relatives of the founders
the church I think is still here.

537
00:43:56,660 --> 00:44:00,020
My name is Sinclair.
This is a family property

538
00:44:00,140 --> 00:44:05,260
which became probable
the most mysterious chapel

539
00:44:05,340 --> 00:44:08,300
from the northern European sacred space.

540
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:14,820
Sinclair was convinced that the ancestors
they possessed the secret of the Grail

541
00:44:15,020 --> 00:44:19,940
and they hid the Grail in the chapel
which was designed according to

542
00:44:19,980 --> 00:44:23,260
with the temple where it is supposed
that the Templars found him.

543
00:44:23,380 --> 00:44:28,500
Rosslyn Chapel without a doubt
it was built for the grail.

544
00:44:28,740 --> 00:44:32,620
But in this regard
Sinclair has no evidence.

545
00:44:32,660 --> 00:44:41,220
At the end of 1990, a Masonic lodge
made an amazing discovery.

546
00:44:45,020 --> 00:44:47,020
This architectural cartridge.

547
00:44:47,180 --> 00:44:55,780
It is extraordinary, it has
6m long, 2m wide

548
00:44:55,900 --> 00:45:01,260
and is the biggest
medieval cartouche from Europe.

549
00:44:58,380 --> 00:45:07,500
In the middle of the cartridge, we have a plan
of the Temple of Solomon.

550
00:45:07,580 --> 00:45:13,660
which contains in 2 Holy crypts
Saints, the Ark of the Law.

551
00:45:13,860 --> 00:45:18,740
It's exactly the plan
ensemble of Rosslyn Chapel.

552
00:45:20,020 --> 00:45:32,260
And if you overlap them, you will
discover that they coincide.

553
00:45:32,380 --> 00:45:37,500
From here we know it exists
crypts under Rosslyn Chapel.

554
00:45:40,220 --> 00:45:42,660
This was unbelievable.

555
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:45,420
Sinclair established
by carbon 14 dating

556
00:45:45,580 --> 00:45:49,340
as Rosslyn was built
precisely in the 15th century.

557
00:45:49,420 --> 00:45:52,380
The grail was almost in his hands.

558
00:45:58,940 --> 00:46:03,740
I organized excavations for crypts.

559
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:12,860
but I didn't find them because in
finally when I inserted the endoscope,

560
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:20,780
to search for these crypts where
it really could be the grail

561
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:26,540
I pushed the endoscope in
down and everything I found

562
00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:29,340
there were conglomerates that filled the crypt.

563
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:45,940
In the end, maybe
the secrets of these cups,

564
00:46:46,060 --> 00:46:48,060
they will remain hidden forever.

565
00:46:49,460 --> 00:46:55,140
Maybe he won't be able to discover them,
but I will continue to look for them.

566
00:46:55,180 --> 00:47:01,340
I know a group of archaeologists with high
qualification that love such work.

567
00:47:01,460 --> 00:47:05,060
- Shall we start digging?
-Not. To speak briefly.

568
00:47:05,140 --> 00:47:08,100
Permission will be received by some
people including the trusted ones

569
00:47:08,300 --> 00:47:13,740
Everyone knows that the graves are protected
in Scotland by the legislation of graves.

570
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:24,220
- You will never get approval!
- I don't, but you will definitely succeed!

571
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:32,860
It seems that we are caught in a vortex.

572
00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:38,100
But even if I could have
permission today, what could I find there?

573
00:47:39,620 --> 00:47:44,820
The man who could tell me
is Robert Cooper, a historian.

574
00:47:44,860 --> 00:47:47,420
He did a special study
about the Grail of Rosslyn.

575
00:47:47,580 --> 00:47:50,940
What is the connection between
Knights Templar and Rosslyn?

576
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:53,940
There is none.

577
00:47:54,100 --> 00:48:08,060
They came here about 140 years ago
before the building of Rosslyn Chapel.

578
00:48:08,260 --> 00:48:13,500
but even these magical ones
Templars could not live like that.

579
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:18,740
I don't think we can break free
by Rosslyn so simple,

580
00:48:18,780 --> 00:48:22,100
due to the fact that it has a cartridge
dated like any medieval document,

581
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:30,580
and which refers to these crusades again
in the middle we have this plan of the Temple

582
00:48:30,740 --> 00:48:33,700
which resembles surprisingly well
overall plan of Rosslyn Chapel.

583
00:48:33,780 --> 00:48:35,380
Worthy of all admiration!

584
00:48:35,620 --> 00:48:42,180
The fact that some medieval artifacts
are radioactive carbon dated,

585
00:48:42,220 --> 00:48:45,660
may be irrelevant because
dating can be very imprecise.

586
00:48:45,740 --> 00:48:49,260
It can have a margin up or down
of error up to 700 years.

587
00:48:49,340 --> 00:48:51,820
But the people I'm with
spoke had precise dates!

588
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:59,700
Indeed, because it still exists
and other clues indicating the period.

589
00:48:59,820 --> 00:49:03,420
Like for example?

590
00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:07,860
-Like armor bearings
of the Grand Lodge of England.
-What are armor bearings?

591
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:09,580
- Arm wrap.
- Yes...

592
00:49:09,860 --> 00:49:14,260
We know they were
drawn in 1751 not earlier,

593
00:49:14,340 --> 00:49:20,100
so the artifact was made after this.

594
00:49:20,140 --> 00:49:25,500
It comes from the mid-18th century,
the earliest.

595
00:49:25,820 --> 00:49:31,700
It would be said that this would be it
plan of Solomon's Temple.

596
00:49:31,780 --> 00:49:34,900
Actually this is a construction
light and furniture, in the desert.

597
00:49:35,020 --> 00:49:39,060
and here you can see others,
in the usual way, around.

598
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:42,300
So you don't think like the Saint
The Grail is buried at Rosslyn!

599
00:49:42,460 --> 00:49:44,940
Not.

600
00:49:44,980 --> 00:49:50,140
And I can say it with great certainty,
pentru ca a fost un loc extrem de ocupat.

601
00:49:50,260 --> 00:49:52,900
As soon as the construction was started,

602
00:49:52,980 --> 00:49:56,900
people arranged it to be
buried themselves in the chapel

603
00:49:56,980 --> 00:50:04,380
and we know 9 generations of the Sinclair family.
Some wives and children were also buried

604
00:50:04,580 --> 00:50:09,900
so honestly, I can't believe that fish
100 people over time

605
00:50:09,940 --> 00:50:16,460
treading through the family crypts would not have said
never anything and he would have put it in his pocket.

606
00:50:23,500 --> 00:50:28,220
So no connection with the Templars,
no coded symbols and no Grail.

607
00:50:31,660 --> 00:50:34,140
So Rosslyn Chapel not really
he answered my questions.

608
00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:39,940
But what would have happened if
Would the Templars have given the Grail to someone else?

609
00:50:40,060 --> 00:50:43,660
A secret society
led by Leonardo da Vinci.

610
00:50:47,340 --> 00:50:51,580
This is what the bestseller Da Vinci Code suggests.

611
00:50:51,660 --> 00:50:54,620
And many readers think so
that it could be true.

612
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,300
In The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown narrates

613
00:51:04,540 --> 00:51:07,260
the history of a search
modern version of the Holy Grail.

614
00:51:07,420 --> 00:51:11,940
The Grail itself is a secret line
of the followers of Jesus Christ.

615
00:51:12,060 --> 00:51:15,460
Who married Maria
Magdalena, was the father of her child,

616
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:20,220
secret that the church has
suppressed for 2000 years

617
00:51:20,260 --> 00:51:22,820
and still working to destroy it.

618
00:51:23,020 --> 00:51:27,500
He could not do this from
the cause of a remarkable organization

619
00:51:27,740 --> 00:51:29,460
called the Abbot of Sion.

620
00:51:29,540 --> 00:51:33,980
This is a secret society, which
was founded by the descendants of Jesus

621
00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:39,820
destined to keep the Grail on which
he possesses it even today.

622
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:51,020
A fascinating thing for
a work of fiction.

623
00:51:55,940 --> 00:52:02,220
So, let's browse the beginning of the book in
which Dan Brown makes this statement.

624
00:52:02,340 --> 00:52:11,260
Abbot of Sion,
european secret society,
founded in 1099, is a real organization.

625
00:52:12,980 --> 00:52:18,980
All the artistic, architectural,
secret rituals, secret societies,
these are all historical facts.

626
00:52:19,740 --> 00:52:21,740
It's an extraordinary statement, isn't it?

627
00:52:21,860 --> 00:52:24,380
A secret society of
which no one heard

628
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:30,540
has the Grail in his possession for 1000
years, until today, incredible!

629
00:52:30,620 --> 00:52:37,180
He deceived all generations
of Grail seekers.

630
00:52:44,580 --> 00:52:48,100
The origins of this dissimulation
stretch back to 1890

631
00:52:48,180 --> 00:52:50,940
up to one priest from one
remote French village

632
00:52:50,980 --> 00:52:52,780
who became a priest
mysteriously rich.

633
00:52:53,380 --> 00:52:55,980
Local legends say that he found a treasure.

634
00:52:59,020 --> 00:53:00,900
The village was Rennes le Chateau

635
00:53:01,220 --> 00:53:06,700
located in the south-west of France,
right in the heart of the Grail country.

636
00:53:08,300 --> 00:53:11,220
We go back to 1867.

637
00:53:11,420 --> 00:53:15,420
Small local monastery
it has undergone major renovations.

638
00:53:15,620 --> 00:53:19,900
This time the author is
the French journalist Gerard De Sede.

639
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:25,180
He says the priest found her
treasure but extremely mysterious.

640
00:53:33,940 --> 00:53:37,740
Here is the story being told:

641
00:53:39,700 --> 00:53:43,660
When the church was renovated,
priest Belanger Sauniere,

642
00:53:43,980 --> 00:53:47,660
discovered in a pillar
broken, some old parchments

643
00:53:47,780 --> 00:53:51,300
including these coded documents.

644
00:53:51,540 --> 00:53:57,380
What they were saying was a mystery but of course
it must have been something important.

645
00:53:59,820 --> 00:54:02,900
According to what De Sede says,

646
00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:07,660
the bishop of Sauniere sent him to Paris
to show the church authorities.

647
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:12,780
When he returned, he suddenly became rich.

648
00:54:12,980 --> 00:54:15,660
He built a villa
gorgeous for himself

649
00:54:15,980 --> 00:54:18,380
complete with pavilions and gardens

650
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:24,660
and started digging around
the church in search of something.

651
00:54:24,740 --> 00:54:27,780
The consequence was very clear.

652
00:54:27,820 --> 00:54:33,860
The secret was so important,
that the church gave a lot of money

653
00:54:33,940 --> 00:54:36,180
to buy his silence.

654
00:54:36,220 --> 00:54:39,460
And probably the secret
abandoned must be found.

655
00:54:45,020 --> 00:54:47,460
It is said that there was a fraud.

656
00:54:47,500 --> 00:54:52,140
Among the subsequent victims a
former writer Henry Lincoln

657
00:54:52,380 --> 00:54:54,620
co-author of the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

658
00:54:54,780 --> 00:54:58,500
He read about these
mysteries and was intrigued.

659
00:55:02,860 --> 00:55:05,460
Lincoln began research on
this story on its own

660
00:55:05,620 --> 00:55:09,620
and soon he was drawn into the world
mysterious of the Abbess of Sion.

661
00:55:09,700 --> 00:55:12,540
He contacted Gerard De Sede

662
00:55:12,580 --> 00:55:15,820
and together they organized the decipherment
messages from the 2 scrolls.

663
00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:18,220
The first was mysterious.

664
00:55:18,340 --> 00:55:23,940
This treasure belongs to the king
Dagobert II of Sion

665
00:55:24,060 --> 00:55:25,820
and he died there.

666
00:55:27,980 --> 00:55:30,420
The second was pure
and simply incomprehensible.

667
00:55:30,620 --> 00:55:30,620
Shepherdess no temptation that (to which)
Poussin Tenier hould the key peace 681
by the cross and this horse of god

668
00:55:30,700 --> 00:55:34,700
Pastoring is not a temptation like Poussin Tenier

669
00:55:34,740 --> 00:55:40,740
to keep the peace of the key 681 by
cross and this horse of God.

670
00:55:40,780 --> 00:55:44,620
I finish this evil guardian
on the indicated day, blue apples.

671
00:55:44,860 --> 00:55:47,180
And the individual put his signature: P.S.

672
00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:54,140
What does all this mean?

673
00:55:54,340 --> 00:55:58,300
Cracking codes is one thing,
to understand the result is another.

674
00:55:58,460 --> 00:56:04,100
Lincoln was at a standstill, until he came
here, at the National Library in Paris.

675
00:56:05,940 --> 00:56:10,100
But Lincoln didn't just pretend
spin around here, to look for something.

676
00:56:10,180 --> 00:56:15,020
After Michael's research
Baigent, he was instructed.

677
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:19,820
They were faced with arriving documents
in Lincoln's possession through

678
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:22,100
an organization called the Abbot of Sion.

679
00:56:22,180 --> 00:56:27,940
The abbot himself put these documents
in the National Library of Paris

680
00:56:28,020 --> 00:56:32,700
which allowed to see what needs to be done.

681
00:56:32,860 --> 00:56:39,300
This is what they found
finally, the Secret Files.

682
00:56:39,340 --> 00:56:48,420
Here is only a copy because the original
it would break into pieces, so much handling.

683
00:56:51,020 --> 00:56:57,820
I research this almost bizarre and
extraordinary collection of documents.

684
00:56:58,060 --> 00:57:04,260
The entire genealogy is here
of the Merovingian kings of France,

685
00:57:04,340 --> 00:57:10,660
and this fascinating thing that is the list
with the great masters of the Abbot of Sion,

686
00:57:10,740 --> 00:57:17,180
including Leonardo Da Vinci, here,

687
00:57:17,380 --> 00:57:22,700
Robert Boyle,

688
00:57:22,780 --> 00:57:25,900
isaac newton

689
00:57:26,060 --> 00:57:27,740
Victor Hugo,

690
00:57:27,860 --> 00:57:30,260
Claude Debussy...

691
00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:34,220
Why did he give us this?
organization documents?

692
00:57:34,260 --> 00:57:36,020
What were they after?

693
00:57:36,380 --> 00:57:40,780
We are suspicious because
everything seems to be wrong

694
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:42,220
it seems they are trying to manipulate us,

695
00:57:42,420 --> 00:57:44,580
to lead us in a certain direction,

696
00:57:44,620 --> 00:57:47,300
Thus, every document that
this organization gave it to us,

697
00:57:47,380 --> 00:57:51,100
We had to check it out
and let's test it,

698
00:57:51,140 --> 00:57:56,740
and after all these years
checks and tests, at the end,

699
00:57:56,780 --> 00:57:59,180
they all support each other.

700
00:58:01,100 --> 00:58:06,460
They reconstructed a remarkable
portrait of the Abbess of Sion.

701
00:58:08,940 --> 00:58:12,900
It was founded ca
secret society, in 1099,

702
00:58:12,940 --> 00:58:17,700
acted in favor of an old one
French dynasty called the Merovingians,

703
00:58:17,740 --> 00:58:21,540
He created the organization
military of the Templars,

704
00:58:21,580 --> 00:58:25,420
and had influence in the events
major in the history of Western Europe.

705
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:29,620
That's quite an impressive resume

706
00:58:29,660 --> 00:58:33,980
and surprisingly, Lincoln's contacts
within this organization,

707
00:58:34,060 --> 00:58:37,260
they agreed to discuss in
during a televised interview.

708
00:58:37,300 --> 00:58:43,300
You want to say that the Abbot of
Zion exists even today.

709
00:58:43,340 --> 00:58:45,300
In fact, Zion has always existed.

710
00:58:45,340 --> 00:58:50,300
Mr. Plantard has always existed
a secret at Rennes le Chateau,

711
00:58:50,380 --> 00:58:52,540
The secret is not only Rennes le Chateau,

712
00:58:52,620 --> 00:58:55,500
is also around
of Rennes le Chateau.

713
00:58:56,620 --> 00:58:59,940
The treasure of Rennes le Chateau
will it be found one day?

714
00:59:01,420 --> 00:59:08,900
This is not about a material treasure,
nu vorbim de o comoara materiala,

715
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:13,100
Let's simply say that there is one
secret at Rennes le Chateau.

716
00:59:16,060 --> 00:59:19,340
If it wasn't material, what was it?
actually the treasure of Rennes le Chateau?

717
00:59:19,420 --> 00:59:22,620
So far Lincoln has
along with two other co-authors,

718
00:59:22,740 --> 00:59:24,900
Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh.

719
00:59:25,340 --> 00:59:29,620
As you know, another mystery that started
revelations we finally make

720
00:59:29,740 --> 00:59:30,780
Yes...

721
00:59:30,980 --> 00:59:34,140
They involved a small village in France,

722
00:59:34,180 --> 00:59:37,740
whose priest it seems
that he found a treasure.

723
00:59:37,820 --> 00:59:41,300
I searched in history
area, on the Grail map

724
00:59:41,340 --> 00:59:44,820
and the Grail leads to
Holy Bloodline.

725
00:59:44,860 --> 00:59:49,100
The three know how to proceed for
to connect Rennes le Chateau,

726
00:59:49,140 --> 00:59:51,540
The Abbot of Sion and the Merovingian dynasty,

727
00:59:51,580 --> 00:59:53,820
even to the birth of Christianity.

728
00:59:53,900 --> 00:59:58,660
And if Gerard De Sede considered that the secret
from Rennes le Chateau is extraordinary,

729
00:59:58,700 --> 01:00:01,820
then Lincoln showed what it is
really a brilliant idea.

730
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:04,020
That's it.

731
01:00:05,020 --> 01:00:08,900
What the priest discovered
here at Rennes le Chateau?

732
01:00:08,940 --> 01:00:14,020
It was a hint of a possible
locations of the Holy Grail?

733
01:00:14,060 --> 01:00:20,100
But this Grail was not a
cup, was the Holy Blood,

734
01:00:20,140 --> 01:00:21,500
a holy line of descendants
of Jesus Christ,

735
01:00:21,540 --> 01:00:24,460
and of his wife Maria Magdalena.

736
01:00:24,500 --> 01:00:29,580
A secret that was suppressed by
Catholic Church for 2000 years.

737
01:00:29,620 --> 01:00:31,940
And who left this clue?

738
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:37,700
The Abbot of Sion, a secret organization,

739
01:00:37,740 --> 01:00:42,540
founded in 1099 by the descendants
of Jesus and Mary Magdalene,

740
01:00:42,580 --> 01:00:45,500
kept the Grail in
lonely for centuries

741
01:00:45,580 --> 01:00:48,780
until today.

742
01:00:56,460 --> 01:01:01,300
In 1982 Lincoln and co-authors have
published these findings in a book,

743
01:01:01,340 --> 01:01:03,220
Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

744
01:01:03,300 --> 01:01:07,740
And the Abbot of Sion was
brought to the attention of the world.

745
01:01:07,780 --> 01:01:12,140
The book sold thousands of copies and
made the authors famous overnight.

746
01:01:15,220 --> 01:01:17,780
I think they were sold until today
over 43000 copies.

747
01:01:17,820 --> 01:01:21,740
It was really an effervescent activity.

748
01:01:23,980 --> 01:01:26,340
The book horrified the Church
and the academic environment,

749
01:01:26,380 --> 01:01:28,620
who declared at
unison that it is a bill,

750
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:33,700
but ordinary readers did not care,
and they believed in the truth of the Holy Blood.

751
01:01:33,780 --> 01:01:37,460
On the other hand, it inspired the future
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

752
01:01:37,500 --> 01:01:40,900
The most important fact is that

753
01:01:40,980 --> 01:01:43,460
The Holy Grail is not what
most people thought it was.

754
01:01:43,540 --> 01:01:48,860
The Holy Grail is not a cup,
it is something much more powerful.

755
01:01:50,420 --> 01:01:56,380
But as we shall see, Brown himself is
another victim of the Abbot's fraud.

756
01:02:05,420 --> 01:02:08,100
My search for the Holy Grail
took my steps through Paris,

757
01:02:08,180 --> 01:02:11,580
in pursuit of one
extraordinary works.

758
01:02:11,620 --> 01:02:14,980
Investigating the mysterious Abbot of Sion,

759
01:02:15,020 --> 01:02:18,180
o organizatie oculta, cu loc
central to The Da Vinci Code,

760
01:02:18,260 --> 01:02:21,380
which is supposed to have kept
The grail for 1000 years.

761
01:02:21,420 --> 01:02:24,940
Yes, great drunkenness with water, yes.

762
01:02:32,940 --> 01:02:36,020
Let's introduce Jean-Luc
Chaumeil, a French journalist,

763
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:39,060
who showed the truth that
hide behind the Abbot of Sion.

764
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:42,700
Chaumeil began
the investigations, about the Abbot,

765
01:02:42,740 --> 01:02:46,300
about the same time as
Lincoln was researching for his book.

766
01:02:46,340 --> 01:02:50,140
But he got to o
very different version.

767
01:02:50,180 --> 01:02:55,100
He looked through all the documents
related to the previous 3 characters,

768
01:02:55,140 --> 01:03:00,020
Gerard De Sede, who wrote about
the mystery of Rennes le Chateau,

769
01:03:00,060 --> 01:03:02,660
Philippe de Cherisey

770
01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:07,860
and Pierre Plantard, the face
public of the Abbot of Sion.

771
01:03:07,900 --> 01:03:12,980
Putem spune ca Plantard era
like a character from another era,

772
01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:21,300
an alien with eyes
and smile like a wizard,

773
01:03:21,540 --> 01:03:22,220
What would this organization pursue?

774
01:03:22,260 --> 01:03:29,660
De Cherisey was a very intelligent actor

775
01:03:29,740 --> 01:03:35,100
it was difficult to get along with him because
he used to drink a little too much.

776
01:03:40,740 --> 01:03:42,500
Like Lincoln, Baigent and Leigh

777
01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:46,100
Chaumeil spent years
researching the Abbot of Sion.

778
01:03:46,140 --> 01:03:49,980
The more he read, the more he was
convinced that everything was nothing but deceit.

779
01:03:50,020 --> 01:03:55,060
Scrolls from the broken pillar, Files
Secrets and even the Abbot himself.

780
01:03:57,940 --> 01:04:04,300
There are no scrolls, people
which mentions the scrolls

781
01:04:04,420 --> 01:04:09,180
which would contain codes about
the treasure of Rennes le Chateau,

782
01:04:09,260 --> 01:04:12,660
well, they made the scrolls.

783
01:04:12,740 --> 01:04:17,700
They are obliged to prove
the existence of the Abbot of Sion,

784
01:04:17,740 --> 01:04:20,020
referring to scrolls.

785
01:04:20,060 --> 01:04:23,740
This was a work of
of Philippe de Cherisey.

786
01:04:23,820 --> 01:04:27,060
He also had evidence.

787
01:04:27,100 --> 01:04:31,380
This is the original parchment, with
an imported addition and recognition

788
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:35,260
of their arbitrariness in
writing on the right.

789
01:04:35,340 --> 01:04:37,260
About other documents of
their Secret Files...

790
01:04:37,340 --> 01:04:46,700
Secret Files were created as
to fit the whole story.

791
01:04:46,740 --> 01:04:49,220
What a work!

792
01:04:49,260 --> 01:04:51,620
What a work!

793
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:58,020
Finally, the great masters,
description of the Abbot of Sion,

794
01:04:58,100 --> 01:05:00,100
genealogy,

795
01:05:00,140 --> 01:05:02,060
all the facts

796
01:05:02,100 --> 01:05:03,660
according to the performance worked,

797
01:05:03,860 --> 01:05:06,460
this genealogy was of
actually copied from a magazine.

798
01:05:06,660 --> 01:05:11,140
Plantard got that his name
to be in a line of French kings,

799
01:05:11,180 --> 01:05:15,740
but his royalty is counterfeit.

800
01:05:15,780 --> 01:05:21,340
I have a 44 page document
from Philippe de Cherisey,

801
01:05:21,380 --> 01:05:26,780
a confession that explains the way
in which all this was done.

802
01:05:33,340 --> 01:05:35,140
This is Plantard's writing.

803
01:05:35,340 --> 01:05:38,260
The show made to cover the facts
true about the Abbot of Sion,

804
01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:42,900
that it exists, that it is an old organization,

805
01:05:42,940 --> 01:05:46,700
was staged in 1956
by Plantard himself.

806
01:05:46,860 --> 01:05:53,020
Even though it had 4, 5 members at the beginning,
was baptized after the name of a mountain,
in Plantard's hometown.

807
01:05:53,060 --> 01:05:55,540
Everything was just a fantasy.

808
01:05:55,580 --> 01:05:59,540
Cherisey said that's the structure
a good staging.

809
01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:05,620
Why did they do it?

810
01:06:05,660 --> 01:06:09,180
A clue could be in
Plantard's TV interview.

811
01:06:10,460 --> 01:06:13,660
Who are "we"?

812
01:06:13,700 --> 01:06:16,100
Prin "noi" ma refer la urmasii
the Merovingians

813
01:06:16,140 --> 01:06:23,980
because our ancestors originate from
Dagobert 2. The Merovingians built France.

814
01:06:24,140 --> 01:06:28,220
Without them there would have been no France.

815
01:06:28,260 --> 01:06:33,940
The whole scheme was built to give
credibility to Plantard's fantasies.

816
01:06:34,020 --> 01:06:36,500
That he was descended from
Merovingian dynasty,

817
01:06:36,540 --> 01:06:38,340
and would inherit the throne of France.

818
01:06:39,260 --> 01:06:40,620
Cherisey helped him because it was fun

819
01:06:40,660 --> 01:06:46,060
and it is said that he was a member of a group
surrealist named "Oloupilou"...

820
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:53,340
The "Abbess of Zion" was a concept
surrealistic. It was a play.

821
01:06:53,380 --> 01:06:59,740
created and played by Gerard De Sede,
Plantard and Philippe de Cherisey.

822
01:06:59,780 --> 01:07:03,420
They made an extraordinary play,

823
01:07:03,460 --> 01:07:07,660
they worked together to
create this imaginary history,

824
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:10,100
Yes, that's right.

825
01:07:10,140 --> 01:07:13,060
It is more of a joke than a scam.

826
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:15,980
Until the publication of "Holy Blood Holy Grail"

827
01:07:16,020 --> 01:07:18,820
when things got out of control.

828
01:07:18,860 --> 01:07:24,060
The book logically implies,
as Plantard as Merovingian,

829
01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:27,380
was not only king in waiting,
but even a descendant of Christ.

830
01:07:29,300 --> 01:07:32,220
He panicked and confessed.

831
01:07:33,540 --> 01:07:38,300
However, we must admit that in
book there is a part of the novel,

832
01:07:38,340 --> 01:07:41,180
especially the one that
refers to the followers of Jesus.

833
01:07:41,900 --> 01:07:45,500
How could it turn out
continuity of 4 centuries

834
01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:49,460
in the bloodline from
Jesus to the Merovingians?

835
01:07:49,780 --> 01:07:51,940
I never introduced myself
to be a descendant of Jesus.

836
01:07:52,860 --> 01:07:56,060
After that, Plantard and de Cherisey
they ran for cover.

837
01:07:56,140 --> 01:08:00,740
And Gerard De Sede wrote the second book
showing the deception they launched.

838
01:08:00,820 --> 01:08:02,660
when your father died

839
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:06,820
believed in the existence of one
organizations called "The Abbot of Zion"?

840
01:08:06,860 --> 01:08:10,820
Oh, no. I think he does
he said several times

841
01:08:10,860 --> 01:08:18,300
that this organization was in essence
a segment of Plantard's imagination.

842
01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:23,540
An absolute fake...

843
01:08:25,540 --> 01:08:29,700
I didn't think he could
there are clear historical links

844
01:08:29,780 --> 01:08:33,100
between Jesus and the Holy Grail
until the 24th century.

845
01:08:33,140 --> 01:08:36,980
It could have been many things
bends, clogged roads.

846
01:08:37,020 --> 01:08:40,660
But it never crossed my mind
as the entire movement of the Holy Grail,

847
01:08:40,700 --> 01:08:43,820
it could somehow be built
during my life.

848
01:08:43,860 --> 01:08:54,860
Built by some people
inspired by French surrealism.

849
01:08:55,020 --> 01:09:08,780
Of course the surrealists and the "Abbess of
Zion" are part of the search for the Grail.

850
01:09:08,820 --> 01:09:11,540
Are you looking for the Holy Grail?

851
01:09:11,580 --> 01:09:13,540
This is what we were looking for.

852
01:09:13,580 --> 01:09:15,180
You know a lot about his hiding places.

853
01:09:15,220 --> 01:09:18,700
Correct!

854
01:09:28,180 --> 01:09:31,900
Only one question remains
about the scam with the Abbot of Sion.

855
01:09:32,020 --> 01:09:34,540
The one who wanders through the first places.

856
01:09:34,660 --> 01:09:37,900
Where did he get it from?
priest Sauniere the money?

857
01:09:38,740 --> 01:09:41,740
And the answer is not buried
somewhere deep in an arcade...

858
01:09:41,860 --> 01:09:46,220
It's in Sauniere's diary, here
in the museum of Rennes le Chateau.

859
01:09:48,380 --> 01:09:52,340
He became rich by doing services
religious to the rich nobles,

860
01:09:52,380 --> 01:09:56,780
A kind of trade with
divine blessings.

861
01:09:56,820 --> 01:10:01,460
And here is the perfect proof
for his accounts.

862
01:10:01,500 --> 01:10:05,900
He sold thousands of blessings,
to hundreds of villagers,

863
01:10:05,940 --> 01:10:10,260
a scandal, of course, but
not a very mysterious one.

864
01:10:14,940 --> 01:10:19,580
The unmasking of the show came out before ca
"Holy Blood Holy Grail" to be printed.

865
01:10:19,660 --> 01:10:26,900
It came out over a year before Lincoln
and his friends to have finished their book.

866
01:10:31,940 --> 01:10:36,620
Chaumeil showed that it was nothing but
a scam, is it true?

867
01:10:36,780 --> 01:10:46,900
I wouldn't say. Take heart, Chaumeil was not
close to those in the Staretiei group.

868
01:10:49,540 --> 01:10:55,260
So the fact that "Secret Files"
they are fakes isn't that right?

869
01:10:55,420 --> 01:10:56,900
Not.

870
01:10:56,940 --> 01:11:06,860
But the assumption that the Abbot of
Zion is a surreal fantasy,

871
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:12,580
that it was made by 2 or 3 people...

872
01:11:12,700 --> 01:11:13,580
It is wrong.

873
01:11:18,580 --> 01:11:19,980
Why are you so sure?
that is wrong?

874
01:11:20,020 --> 01:11:23,380
Because the impression about the documents,
after a research of almost 6 years,

875
01:11:23,540 --> 01:11:26,340
regarding the material
their is satisfactory,

876
01:11:26,420 --> 01:11:30,660
regarding the fact that
The Abbot of Sion existed.

877
01:11:30,700 --> 01:11:34,460
You have to expect that they won't find it
no evidence against them

878
01:11:34,500 --> 01:11:36,820
but no one else who
investigated the Abbot of Sion,

879
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:38,940
does not share the point
of Baigent's view.

880
01:11:38,980 --> 01:11:40,860
I certainly haven't
met no journalist

881
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:42,740
or someone from academia,
who will do it

882
01:11:42,780 --> 01:11:45,580
But then let's see Dan Brown.

883
01:11:46,780 --> 01:11:52,780
All the artistic, architectural,
secret rituals, secret societies,
these are all historical facts.

884
01:11:54,620 --> 01:11:57,780
It is widely known
at least in the last 10 years,

885
01:11:57,900 --> 01:12:02,460
as the Abbess of Sion and its Files
Secrets are totally fabricated.

886
01:12:03,940 --> 01:12:08,740
As soon as all the members of the Abbot have
deceased, Dan Brown, in The Da Vinci Code,

887
01:12:08,780 --> 01:12:11,420
spilled the whole legend, as a real fact.

888
01:12:12,900 --> 01:12:14,500
Travel agencies have increased their receipts,

889
01:12:14,660 --> 01:12:18,060
offering a tour of the mentioned places
in Da Vinci Code, here in Paris.

890
01:12:18,180 --> 01:12:21,660
The problem is that some tourists
I consider everything as fact, not fiction.

891
01:12:27,460 --> 01:12:31,940
In the book, Saint Sulpice is located
on the site of a former pagan temple.

892
01:12:31,980 --> 01:12:35,740
Place for a morbid crime
to find the Grail.

893
01:12:40,660 --> 01:12:44,380
One of the details about
the albino gentleman, member of Opus Dei,

894
01:12:44,420 --> 01:12:49,460
is that he killed that nun using
a candlestick taken from the altar.

895
01:12:49,500 --> 01:12:53,620
There are these beautiful candlesticks,
but they are so big and so heavy,

896
01:12:53,660 --> 01:12:56,700
that you need 2 people just to move one.

897
01:12:58,740 --> 01:13:00,940
So it's not very convenient
to turn it into a weapon.

898
01:13:00,980 --> 01:13:06,140
The few who expect to see blood
left over from killing the nun,

899
01:13:06,260 --> 01:13:08,740
they won't find anything like that.

900
01:13:13,700 --> 01:13:16,700
Also here people
look for the stone broken by the monk

901
01:13:16,820 --> 01:13:20,900
in the hope that you will find clues
that will lead him to the Grail.

902
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:32,660
The church is, as expected,
very useful in terms of stone slabs.

903
01:13:37,420 --> 01:13:40,540
Contrary to the defenders of the statements
unfounded of the recent bestseller,

904
01:13:40,660 --> 01:13:43,140
this is not a vestige
of an old pagan temple,

905
01:13:43,180 --> 01:13:45,860
no such temple has
ever existed in this place

906
01:13:45,900 --> 01:13:48,180
it was never called the Rose Line,

907
01:13:48,220 --> 01:13:52,820
Please also note that,
these P and S from the small round stained glass window,

908
01:13:52,940 --> 01:13:57,420
refers to Peter and Sulpice,
the patron saints of the church,

909
01:13:57,540 --> 01:14:01,180
not at the imaginary "Priory of Sion".

910
01:14:01,220 --> 01:14:04,740
Next we go to the Louvre,

911
01:14:04,780 --> 01:14:08,380
the scene of another brutal crime in the novel.

912
01:14:08,460 --> 01:14:12,020
And this is very popular
among Da Vinci Code tourists.

913
01:14:12,060 --> 01:14:15,300
Do you think the novel is true?

914
01:14:15,340 --> 01:14:21,820
A lot of places and facts are described
I find it in places like the one where we are.

915
01:14:21,860 --> 01:14:24,380
There are many interpretations...

916
01:14:24,420 --> 01:14:27,340
Yes, a lot.

917
01:14:27,380 --> 01:14:30,180
You want to say that you are
totally skeptical about him?

918
01:14:30,220 --> 01:14:31,660
Not.

919
01:14:31,700 --> 01:14:34,660
A lot makes sense, I don't want to
to say that one hundred percent,

920
01:14:34,740 --> 01:14:38,780
but you can understand that
people cannot be completely sure.

921
01:14:38,820 --> 01:14:41,940
What do you think about the Abbot of Zion?
Do you think it exists?

922
01:14:42,060 --> 01:14:54,900
Well, there were many secrets
over time,
there might be something like that.

923
01:14:54,940 --> 01:14:59,420
Thus Da Vinci Code
continues to create confusion

924
01:14:59,500 --> 01:15:00,860
in terms of distinction
fictional facts.

925
01:15:00,980 --> 01:15:03,860
Let's address this
discussing with the author.

926
01:15:03,900 --> 01:15:06,700
I wanted Dan Brown to
is part of this documentary,

927
01:15:06,740 --> 01:15:09,300
but his agents communicated to us
that he refuses all interviews,

928
01:15:09,380 --> 01:15:11,900
because he is busy with
the research for the next novel.

929
01:15:11,940 --> 01:15:17,420
So obviously I will abandon the search
Dan Brown's Holy Grail.

930
01:15:17,460 --> 01:15:19,260
Apparently everything is in tatters.

931
01:15:19,300 --> 01:15:25,860
Not Cathars, not Templars,
not Rose Line and not the Abbot of Sion.

932
01:15:25,940 --> 01:15:29,500
But there is probably something in the secret itself.

933
01:15:29,540 --> 01:15:31,660
My final quest.

934
01:15:31,700 --> 01:15:34,980
It was Mary Magdalene
the bearer of the Holy Followers?

935
01:15:46,900 --> 01:15:50,060
This is Milan.

936
01:15:52,780 --> 01:15:56,780
And this is the church
Santa Maria de la Grazia.

937
01:15:56,820 --> 01:15:59,380
On one of its walls
the picture is painted

938
01:15:59,460 --> 01:16:01,700
which gave the name to the novel
The Da Vinci Code.

939
01:16:03,020 --> 01:16:07,900
The book uses painting
as an illustration of the central theme.

940
01:16:07,940 --> 01:16:10,780
Like Mary Magdalene
was the main disciple,

941
01:16:10,820 --> 01:16:14,980
and that she was married to Christ and that
she was the bearer of His Holy Followers.

942
01:16:22,020 --> 01:16:26,700
Here's the proof. This is the Supper
of The Secret of Leonardo Da Vinci,

943
01:16:27,100 --> 01:16:30,540
based on a story
from the Gospel according to John.

944
01:16:30,580 --> 01:16:33,900
Jesus just told the disciples
that one of them will betray him,

945
01:16:33,940 --> 01:16:38,900
and they were shocked and scared
and now he shares the bread with them

946
01:16:38,940 --> 01:16:40,780
for the last time.

947
01:16:40,860 --> 01:16:43,580
But is everything as it seems?

948
01:16:43,620 --> 01:16:47,220
In The Da Vinci Code, the specialist
in the history of the Grail, Leigh Teabing,

949
01:16:47,260 --> 01:16:54,100
show Sophie Neveu's painting as proof
that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.

950
01:16:54,140 --> 01:16:59,220
He said, "Look at these people
from around the table. What do you see?"

951
01:16:59,260 --> 01:17:03,980
And she said: "I see 13 men."

952
01:17:04,020 --> 01:17:06,340
And he said, "No. Look again."

953
01:17:06,540 --> 01:17:12,180
"Especially to the one who occupies
the place of honor at the right hand of Jesus".

954
01:17:15,180 --> 01:17:17,980
And she said: "It is a woman!"

955
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:23,700
"It's a woman!"

956
01:17:23,740 --> 01:17:29,500
Then Teabing scored an item
curious about the composition of the painting.

957
01:17:29,580 --> 01:17:34,980
Jesus and Mary Magdalene touching
the hips, but separating with the breasts,

958
01:17:35,060 --> 01:17:36,700
forming the bend of a V,

959
01:17:36,740 --> 01:17:40,220
the symbol of the cup, of the Grail
and the female uterus.

960
01:17:42,860 --> 01:17:46,540
This V is part of an obvious M,

961
01:17:46,580 --> 01:17:50,140
from Magdalena or matrimonial.

962
01:17:50,180 --> 01:17:56,260
This is how Leonardo Da Vinci was coded
the secret of the Grail in his painting?

963
01:17:56,300 --> 01:17:59,660
To have tried to tell us
that this is Mary Magdalene?

964
01:17:59,780 --> 01:18:02,140
And that she was married to Jesus?

965
01:18:03,460 --> 01:18:06,340
The church does not agree
this unfounded claim,

966
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:08,220
such as Saint John
is actually a woman

967
01:18:08,340 --> 01:18:11,500
and says that only some support,

968
01:18:11,540 --> 01:18:16,180
what would be seen in the painting but
this is not the real truth.

969
01:18:16,220 --> 01:18:20,780
There is a profound difference
between that figure and the others.

970
01:18:20,820 --> 01:18:25,620
and tell me how much
gross find this.

971
01:18:25,660 --> 01:18:30,420
This looks like a painting
for her not for Jesus.

972
01:18:30,460 --> 01:18:34,060
It looks like it was painted by someone else.

973
01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:37,660
It's quite unusual, isn't it?

974
01:18:38,740 --> 01:18:41,900
Well, it really is an extraordinary face.

975
01:18:41,940 --> 01:18:46,660
And a very beautiful face
but she is not a woman

976
01:18:46,700 --> 01:18:52,620
as it is interpreted, being here
presented an evangelical narrative,

977
01:18:52,660 --> 01:18:57,700
The figure is Saint John, the disciple
whom Jesus loved, according to the Bible.

978
01:18:57,740 --> 01:19:03,740
As some circles say
skeptical and unbelieving,

979
01:19:03,780 --> 01:19:06,260
was interpreted as
a homosexual relationship.

980
01:19:07,620 --> 01:19:15,060
It was a kind of tradition like Saint John
to be an effeminate young man, a handsome young man

981
01:19:15,180 --> 01:19:21,060
and this is the kind present from the beginning
until the end in Leonardo's works,

982
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:27,060
because such tastes of his se
extending to his last work,

983
01:19:27,140 --> 01:19:28,340
probably this one.

984
01:19:28,500 --> 01:19:35,940
Let's note the androgynous figure coming out of the bag,
representing Saint John the Baptist.

985
01:19:36,020 --> 01:19:42,740
So, Leonardo is interested in young people
handsome and rather effeminate men.

986
01:19:42,820 --> 01:19:45,620
It is part of the biographical truth,

987
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:50,900
in this case it is also supported by
the story represented on this wall.

988
01:19:51,020 --> 01:19:55,420
Is there any specific proof
in this middle V,

989
01:19:55,540 --> 01:20:02,260
in this great depth
between the figure "Mary-John" and Jesus?

990
01:20:02,300 --> 01:20:09,580
It seems unlikely to be a method
to reveal something interesting behind,

991
01:20:09,660 --> 01:20:15,140
because there is a column
thick and in the middle of a window,

992
01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:20,620
so why did this?
apart from the fact that he wanted to indicate

993
01:20:20,660 --> 01:20:23,780
that there was something about this space itself

994
01:20:23,860 --> 01:20:27,100
and wanted to draw
a V symbol of the sacred feminine?

995
01:20:27,220 --> 01:20:33,460
Well, you can see that there is
an L going down one side of the table,

996
01:20:33,980 --> 01:20:38,620
there is a V, we can also find an M,
he is supposed to be the sponsor of the painting,

997
01:20:38,660 --> 01:20:40,580
Lodovico of Milan,

998
01:20:40,620 --> 01:20:43,940
Maybe V comes from things like this.

999
01:20:43,980 --> 01:20:48,500
In other words, you can find it in paintings
an alphabet soup, whatever they are

1000
01:20:48,540 --> 01:20:50,540
and that only in shapes and lines.

1001
01:20:50,580 --> 01:20:56,540
In this case, it is not clear whether
Leonardo Da Vinci would have wanted to use it

1002
01:20:56,660 --> 01:20:58,460
codes in this painting.

1003
01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:03,700
It seems to me an interpretation
wrong, anyone would have done it.

1004
01:21:03,740 --> 01:21:08,940
Some described themselves as straight
disciples with true spirit,

1005
01:21:08,980 --> 01:21:18,380
who observed and tested
before grasping the truth.

1006
01:21:18,420 --> 01:21:21,340
There was no great believer,

1007
01:21:21,380 --> 01:21:25,140
there were some interrogatives,
and so I could say,

1008
01:21:25,180 --> 01:21:28,020
to look at this painting and
to try to rummage through it,

1009
01:21:28,060 --> 01:21:32,460
by hidden cult meanings,

1010
01:21:32,500 --> 01:21:35,060
this is all interpretation
the mistake of Leonardo himself.

1011
01:21:35,180 --> 01:21:38,380
Now I'm really completely broke.

1012
01:21:38,420 --> 01:21:42,780
I am able to see that approach
rationalist, logical, with the idea of the cup,

1013
01:21:42,860 --> 01:21:46,140
for this painting, it is very
intelligence but when I look at that figure,

1014
01:21:46,300 --> 01:21:50,140
I am not able to see an effeminate man,
i see a woman

1015
01:21:55,980 --> 01:21:59,820
But in The Da Vinci Code, of course, she is
much more than a simple woman,

1016
01:21:59,940 --> 01:22:03,740
she is the main disciple of Jesus,

1017
01:22:03,820 --> 01:22:07,060
co-author with him of Christianity.

1018
01:22:07,180 --> 01:22:08,980
She is his wife.

1019
01:22:09,020 --> 01:22:13,340
Is the mother of his child,
so the bearer of the Saints Followed.

1020
01:22:13,380 --> 01:22:15,540
She herself is a secret.

1021
01:22:15,580 --> 01:22:18,660
And the church suppressed it.

1022
01:22:18,700 --> 01:22:21,740
And he registered her as a prostitute.

1023
01:22:29,380 --> 01:22:31,420
This is an incendiary idea.

1024
01:22:31,460 --> 01:22:36,220
It causes rage anywhere
in the world especially among women.

1025
01:22:36,260 --> 01:22:40,940
It suggests that the whole church
Christianity is based on a lie,

1026
01:22:41,020 --> 01:22:46,580
and there could be a bunch of
debates about women priests,

1027
01:22:46,620 --> 01:22:50,860
and the most maddening, it is suggested
like somewhere, on the street, these days,

1028
01:22:50,980 --> 01:22:56,940
direct descendants of Jesus Christ
they could be met by the real one.

1029
01:23:05,540 --> 01:23:10,460
I returned to Jerusalem where
the story of Mary Magdalene begins.

1030
01:23:10,500 --> 01:23:14,060
I will move away from The Da Vinci Code
and of the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

1031
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:17,740
to determine what it says
history about this.

1032
01:23:17,780 --> 01:23:20,220
Let's start with the Bible.

1033
01:23:21,780 --> 01:23:23,380
After Jesus was crucified,

1034
01:23:23,420 --> 01:23:27,540
his body was wrapped in a shroud
and was placed in a tomb

1035
01:23:27,580 --> 01:23:30,060
many people think it was this one

1036
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:32,620
and a large boulder was rolled away
to block the entrance.

1037
01:23:32,820 --> 01:23:38,580
And on the third day after Mary's crucifixion
Magdalena presenting herself for her dead,

1038
01:23:38,620 --> 01:23:44,740
he went to the garden, and he was
surprised to find the big stone

1039
01:23:44,820 --> 01:23:51,260
rolled from the entrance of the tomb
from inside which Jesus had disappeared.

1040
01:23:51,340 --> 01:23:57,740
And in this place there was an angel who told him
that Christ was right again

1041
01:23:57,780 --> 01:24:02,380
and let her go
and spread the word.

1042
01:24:02,420 --> 01:24:04,620
She ran out of the garden,
and he saw Jesus himself,

1043
01:24:04,660 --> 01:24:10,140
in other words, he was the fastest person
who saw Jesus after the resurrection.

1044
01:24:13,060 --> 01:24:15,820
Mary Magdalene was also
one of the three required persons

1045
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:17,780
to follow Jesus for
to witness his crucifixion.

1046
01:24:19,340 --> 01:24:22,300
This is the only appearance
significant in the New Testament

1047
01:24:22,380 --> 01:24:25,620
and most scientists talk
about her as a peripheral figure.

1048
01:24:25,700 --> 01:24:28,180
Until a discovery
random from the Egyptian desert,

1049
01:24:28,220 --> 01:24:30,340
made about 60 years ago.

1050
01:24:34,980 --> 01:24:39,900
In December 1945, a farmer
named Mohamed Ali Al Samman

1051
01:24:39,940 --> 01:24:42,020
made an amazing discovery.

1052
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:46,220
He digs in the Egyptian desert,
in a place called Nag Hammadi

1053
01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:52,340
looking for a soil
good as a fertilizer,

1054
01:24:52,380 --> 01:24:59,460
but instead he found an urn
which he was afraid to break

1055
01:24:59,540 --> 01:25:02,580
for fear of someone
evil spirit hidden inside.

1056
01:25:02,620 --> 01:25:08,540
Then he thought it might contain gold,
so he gave him a blow with the stick,

1057
01:25:08,580 --> 01:25:12,460
and he wasn't inside
neither gold nor evil spirits

1058
01:25:12,500 --> 01:25:16,340
but 35 papyrus books,
full of letters.

1059
01:25:16,380 --> 01:25:20,180
took them home
used some for the fire,

1060
01:25:20,260 --> 01:25:24,420
and the rest he sold to someone
who passed them on.

1061
01:25:28,180 --> 01:25:30,380
Muhammad Ali discovered
and almost destroyed

1062
01:25:30,420 --> 01:25:32,660
what we now call
The Gnostic Gospels.

1063
01:25:32,700 --> 01:25:37,460
And for Bible scholars,
their discovery was dynamite.

1064
01:25:39,660 --> 01:25:45,180
This work, this remarkable text,
is one of the sources from the beginning,

1065
01:25:45,300 --> 01:25:48,460
a book about the life of Jesus.

1066
01:25:50,860 --> 01:25:54,300
The text contains teachings
of the early Christians,

1067
01:25:54,340 --> 01:25:57,900
and detailed records
about the life and death of Jesus.

1068
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:03,580
In these recordings, Maria Magdalena
it is no longer peripheral at all,

1069
01:26:03,660 --> 01:26:07,100
he is the greatest character sent
on the scene at the birth of Christianity.

1070
01:26:07,140 --> 01:26:10,100
She even has a gospel with her name on it.

1071
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:17,580
In the Gospel according to Mary Magdalene, she
claims to have teachings from Jesus,

1072
01:26:17,700 --> 01:26:21,020
and understandings from Jesus,
which He did not give to others.

1073
01:26:21,140 --> 01:26:25,180
The teacher is in mode
especially close to the disciple

1074
01:26:25,260 --> 01:26:28,900
in which he has the greatest confidence for
to give him the deepest teachings.

1075
01:26:30,460 --> 01:26:35,460
When there was a dialogue between Jesus and
disciples, she always asked questions

1076
01:26:35,500 --> 01:26:39,100
which had the role to produce
answers and statements.

1077
01:26:39,140 --> 01:26:41,020
The Gospel according to Philip
also suggest

1078
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:43,940
that Mary Magdalene was in
especially close to Jesus.

1079
01:26:44,060 --> 01:26:46,940
Gospel according to Thomas
also suggests

1080
01:26:47,020 --> 01:26:51,500
that she was one of the circle
of intimate disciples of Jesus.

1081
01:26:52,980 --> 01:26:55,460
Well, maybe in the end,
it's something

1082
01:26:55,540 --> 01:26:58,900
in The Da Vinci Code and in
Holy Blood and Holy Grail.

1083
01:26:59,020 --> 01:27:02,020
Because although this Maria
Magdalena is not totally

1084
01:27:02,140 --> 01:27:05,180
their secret object of adoration, her
is not far from this situation.

1085
01:27:05,220 --> 01:27:08,580
She is an important disciple,
she preaches her doctrine,

1086
01:27:08,620 --> 01:27:11,380
and seems to be number two after Jesus.

1087
01:27:11,420 --> 01:27:15,780
In addition, a story from one of
books suggest that this situation

1088
01:27:15,860 --> 01:27:21,740
was suppressed after her death
by the male-dominated church.

1089
01:27:21,820 --> 01:27:25,380
I think it's a clue like this tradition
of oppression including Mary Magdalene,

1090
01:27:25,580 --> 01:27:29,180
as a disciple, he has a lot
to do with the bishops

1091
01:27:29,300 --> 01:27:33,900
who declared that women should not
to have a leadership role in the church.

1092
01:27:33,980 --> 01:27:37,980
We know from the founders of the church,
from the famous protective parents

1093
01:27:38,020 --> 01:27:41,020
who tell us in tirades against women:

1094
01:27:41,140 --> 01:27:45,940
It's these insignificant women, anyway
they would be good for kitchen utensils,

1095
01:27:46,020 --> 01:27:47,260
able to baptize,
to preach?

1096
01:27:47,380 --> 01:27:52,740
They might ask to share
every pulpit with men.

1097
01:27:59,380 --> 01:28:02,580
Archbishop of Alexandria
sent a letter to Istutan

1098
01:28:02,700 --> 01:28:05,660
separated from other monks
from Egypt, saying that

1099
01:28:05,820 --> 01:28:08,860
that he has to teach
illegitimate books,

1100
01:28:08,900 --> 01:28:11,780
to wait and keep them in the monasteries

1101
01:28:11,820 --> 01:28:14,580
and 27 such books were preserved.

1102
01:28:14,620 --> 01:28:20,260
In fact, this is the first known list
of 27 books from the New Testament,

1103
01:28:20,300 --> 01:28:27,860
In that letter is the year of writing, 367.
It would seem that some monks of the monastery,

1104
01:28:27,900 --> 01:28:31,900
they took some books out of the monastery,

1105
01:28:31,940 --> 01:28:38,460
sealing them for
to keep them and they hid them.

1106
01:28:38,500 --> 01:28:40,340
They were discovered by
Muhammad Ali 16 centuries later.

1107
01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:43,900
The Church buried the Gnostic Gospels

1108
01:28:43,940 --> 01:28:46,740
and Mary Magdalene with them,
in the dust of Nag Hammadi.

1109
01:28:49,820 --> 01:28:53,980
The final insult came a few years later
later when Pope Gregory the Great

1110
01:28:54,020 --> 01:28:56,380
imposed her adoption as a prostitute,

1111
01:28:56,420 --> 01:29:00,500
And so it remained for over a thousand years.

1112
01:29:05,580 --> 01:29:07,820
For many people
this would be shocking material.

1113
01:29:07,860 --> 01:29:11,220
Not the most significant, because it is relative
close to what was said in the Da Vinci Code

1114
01:29:11,300 --> 01:29:13,660
and in "Holy Blood and Holy Grail".

1115
01:29:13,740 --> 01:29:16,940
Only as in both books
there is only the starting point.

1116
01:29:16,980 --> 01:29:20,340
Because from there other theorists
of the Holy Followers take the suppression

1117
01:29:20,460 --> 01:29:25,220
and the close relationship between Jesus and
Maria Magdalena and I go on.

1118
01:29:25,260 --> 01:29:27,660
I go much further.

1119
01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:36,580
Early books spoke of a
relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

1120
01:29:36,620 --> 01:29:41,260
That it would have been extremely tight.
Some even say that he kisses her on the lips.

1121
01:29:44,700 --> 01:29:51,820
The apostles were jealous. They asked Jesus
why he loves her more than them.

1122
01:29:56,500 --> 01:30:00,300
If we look at it from another angle,
that Jesus was not married,

1123
01:30:00,340 --> 01:30:04,180
that would have been unusual for
a Jewish man from those times.

1124
01:30:04,220 --> 01:30:08,060
It would have been noticed,
would have been criticized for it.

1125
01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:10,260
That would have led to the writing
in some documents.

1126
01:30:11,780 --> 01:30:14,100
It is an argument
which convinces many,

1127
01:30:14,140 --> 01:30:16,500
but not the Bible scholars.

1128
01:30:16,540 --> 01:30:23,060
The Gospel according to Philip said that
"Jesus used to kiss...",

1129
01:30:23,180 --> 01:30:31,580
and this intrigued many who deciphered it
The Bible and then they reinserted "on... the mouth"

1130
01:30:31,620 --> 01:30:35,660
That is the interpretation
scholars for the lack in the text.

1131
01:30:35,700 --> 01:30:40,860
We don't know what Jesus is kissing, it could be
"on the cheek", "on... the nose", maybe "on the... mouth",

1132
01:30:40,900 --> 01:30:42,820
but this would not have
necessarily sexual connotation.

1133
01:30:42,860 --> 01:30:47,260
We have 6, 7 references to
"kiss" in the "New Testament",

1134
01:30:47,380 --> 01:30:49,820
as part of a kind of Christian greeting,

1135
01:30:49,940 --> 01:30:52,700
without necessarily anything sexual in it.

1136
01:30:55,420 --> 01:30:58,420
There were some who said that
Jesus must have been married

1137
01:30:58,540 --> 01:31:01,380
due to customs
cultural and religious

1138
01:31:01,460 --> 01:31:04,900
who said that when
you become mature you have to follow.

1139
01:31:04,940 --> 01:31:08,580
Jesus could not live in
according to cultural expectations,

1140
01:31:08,700 --> 01:31:10,420
he was saying:
"Blessed be the poor"

1141
01:31:10,540 --> 01:31:12,500
and people were saying, "Really?
May the poor be blessed"?

1142
01:31:12,620 --> 01:31:15,860
This was against their understanding,
according to which

1143
01:31:15,980 --> 01:31:20,060
to be in harmony with God,
he must be blessed with wealth.

1144
01:31:20,180 --> 01:31:22,380
That's why I don't believe in Jesus
he could necessarily be married.

1145
01:31:22,460 --> 01:31:27,500
Besides, there are many examples of
people spiritually dedicated to God,

1146
01:31:27,620 --> 01:31:28,860
who refused to marry.

1147
01:31:31,940 --> 01:31:38,780
The marriage of Jesus, it should be
find somewhere in someone's Gospel.

1148
01:31:38,900 --> 01:31:41,380
But it is not found
not even in the suppressed ones.

1149
01:31:41,580 --> 01:31:44,260
But the founders of the theory of the following Saints,

1150
01:31:44,380 --> 01:31:46,660
I move on from the marriage
between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

1151
01:31:46,860 --> 01:31:49,180
They say that the union produced the Descendants.

1152
01:31:49,220 --> 01:31:52,860
And a result of the theory
The Holy Grail is the Holy Grail.

1153
01:32:04,300 --> 01:32:08,340
We Anglophones say "The Holy Grail"
but francophones say "San Graal".

1154
01:32:08,380 --> 01:32:17,020
During the Middle Ages
this was written like this: "San Grail"

1155
01:32:17,060 --> 01:32:22,900
Leading us according to what was said
by the characters from Da Vinci Code,

1156
01:32:22,940 --> 01:32:28,740
in the early middle ages the two
words were divided differently.

1157
01:32:28,780 --> 01:32:32,700
Thus:

1158
01:32:32,740 --> 01:32:36,580
"True Blood"

1159
01:32:38,380 --> 01:32:40,020
And that means Royal Blood.

1160
01:32:42,620 --> 01:32:48,460
When I read this
I exclaimed "Oh... What a miracle".

1161
01:32:48,540 --> 01:32:56,980
Margaret Starbird is the author of another
source books for "The Da Vinci Code".

1162
01:32:57,020 --> 01:32:59,620
In the book "The Woman with the Alabaster Bowl"

1163
01:32:59,660 --> 01:33:02,940
she makes the essential link between Maria
Magdalena and the "Holy Blood Line".

1164
01:33:03,060 --> 01:33:04,740
She introduces the Holy Child.

1165
01:33:10,980 --> 01:33:14,300
The events of Starbird's version
they take their deeds from the heart of the Grail Country.

1166
01:33:22,780 --> 01:33:26,740
In an annual festival, in a city of
the French coast called Saint Marie De La Mer,

1167
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:34,220
the locals celebrate a popular legend

1168
01:33:34,260 --> 01:33:38,100
She refers to their arrival on the beach
2000 years ago

1169
01:33:38,140 --> 01:33:42,980
of a ship with refugees
from the holy land.

1170
01:33:45,780 --> 01:33:49,180
The legend of Mary Magdalene
with her brother and sister, in France,

1171
01:33:49,220 --> 01:33:54,420
it shows that there were not only Jews in that boat
but also the Holy Grail, the Royal Blood.

1172
01:33:54,460 --> 01:33:57,780
They did not carry the Royal Blood in the bowl,

1173
01:33:57,820 --> 01:34:01,020
In fact the Child carried Royal Blood.

1174
01:34:01,060 --> 01:34:04,140
And there is a legend
about a child in a boat.

1175
01:34:04,300 --> 01:34:06,380
This was funny
essential for me

1176
01:34:06,540 --> 01:34:08,300
when I started my journey
with this history.

1177
01:34:08,380 --> 01:34:12,100
There was a child in the boat.
Some think it was a boy,

1178
01:34:12,180 --> 01:34:15,300
but in this case
the child in the boat was a girl.

1179
01:34:15,420 --> 01:34:17,420
And her name was Sara.

1180
01:34:17,540 --> 01:34:19,820
"Sara" means "princess" in Hebrew.

1181
01:34:20,020 --> 01:34:25,140
And the legend calls her Sara, so it exists
a little girl in the boat and her name was Sara,

1182
01:34:25,220 --> 01:34:27,820
the Hebrew term for "princess".

1183
01:34:27,940 --> 01:34:32,740
Who could know who it was?
I can only make deductions.

1184
01:34:32,820 --> 01:34:35,020
So everything is deductive.

1185
01:34:39,140 --> 01:34:41,860
But this "deductive" has
implications that take your breath away.

1186
01:34:41,900 --> 01:34:46,380
Because if it were true, it could
there are people walking the Earth today,

1187
01:34:46,420 --> 01:34:50,660
maybe even you or me, who would
descends directly from Christ, through Sarah.

1188
01:35:01,180 --> 01:35:06,220
Unfortunately, science doesn't have it yet
devices to detect Holy DNA,

1189
01:35:06,260 --> 01:35:09,580
But we can verify the evidence that
this claim is based.

1190
01:35:12,860 --> 01:35:14,660
It seems to be earth-shattering.

1191
01:35:14,700 --> 01:35:18,700
Not because Starbird
could have misinterpreted the legend,

1192
01:35:18,740 --> 01:35:22,100
but because she is the one who brings on
Mary Magdalene in France,

1193
01:35:22,220 --> 01:35:24,460
but here it is not possible.

1194
01:35:24,540 --> 01:35:30,700
Ask the locals who
he was with Sara in this boat.

1195
01:35:30,740 --> 01:35:33,500
They were just his Maria
Jacob and Maria Salomea.

1196
01:35:36,140 --> 01:35:39,380
Two biblical Greats
but no Mary Magdalene.

1197
01:35:39,420 --> 01:35:44,740
And Sara, whatever that means
in Hebrew, she was not a princess.

1198
01:35:45,780 --> 01:35:50,060
Sarah was a servant. The maid
the Egyptian of the two Seas.

1199
01:35:50,180 --> 01:35:53,540
She came with them from Palestine,
in the ship.

1200
01:36:00,140 --> 01:36:03,340
There are no proofs like Mary Magdalene
came to France.

1201
01:36:03,380 --> 01:36:10,740
However, there are a number of legends.
They start in the 4th and 5th centuries.

1202
01:36:10,780 --> 01:36:17,300
All crystallized in the 16th century,
in a book called "Golden Legends".

1203
01:36:17,340 --> 01:36:20,580
But it is only a tradition of legends.

1204
01:36:20,620 --> 01:36:23,940
It was not believed that they were telling the truth
not even in the middle ages.

1205
01:36:23,980 --> 01:36:27,180
A lesson in legends, to the point.

1206
01:36:27,220 --> 01:36:33,980
The old division "San Greal" into "Sang Real"
i.e. "Holy Grail" in "Holy Blood"

1207
01:36:34,020 --> 01:36:37,020
appears to be a sentence
much more than solid.

1208
01:36:37,060 --> 01:36:41,780
Let's recognize that the arguments on which it goes
Dan Brown in support of his claim,

1209
01:36:41,820 --> 01:36:46,460
as Holy Grail means Holy Blood, they are
more than worthy of all admiration,

1210
01:36:46,620 --> 01:36:52,500
they are logical, their authenticity is felt,
they make sense, but there is a small problem:

1211
01:36:52,540 --> 01:36:55,420
I'm just junk.

1212
01:36:55,500 --> 01:36:58,420
One of the key issues
from The Da Vinci Code,

1213
01:36:58,460 --> 01:37:02,700
is the name of the source for
Holy Blood, Holy Grail,

1214
01:37:02,740 --> 01:37:07,140
Actually it is a wrong reading,
of a 15th century writer,

1215
01:37:07,260 --> 01:37:10,820
a man named John Holedin,
wrote about this, about the Grail

1216
01:37:10,900 --> 01:37:13,900
"Chivalrous stories from history
Grail". He transcribed the words wrongly

1217
01:37:14,020 --> 01:37:22,780
Sang Real instead of San Greal, that is
Holy Blood instead of Holy Grail.

1218
01:37:22,860 --> 01:37:26,860
Baigent, author of the book
Holy Blood, Holy Grail,

1219
01:37:26,940 --> 01:37:31,420
talked about this error
as about an unexpected revelation.

1220
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:35,500
That it would be real that the Saint
The Grail would actually be the Holy Blood.

1221
01:37:35,540 --> 01:37:39,580
Indeed, this is the point
zero where he left from

1222
01:37:39,700 --> 01:37:42,740
this key revelation
for the whole story.

1223
01:37:44,780 --> 01:37:47,460
The Holy Bloodline is
unfolding in my hands.

1224
01:37:47,700 --> 01:37:53,140
Of course, the author of the first book that
suggested that Jesus and Mary Magdalene

1225
01:37:53,300 --> 01:37:54,100
could help us.

1226
01:37:54,140 --> 01:37:58,340
He might have some kind of proof
to support the story.

1227
01:38:01,020 --> 01:38:05,220
We have some proof
that there was a child?

1228
01:38:05,260 --> 01:38:09,420
we don't have They are pure assumptions
for the most part.

1229
01:38:09,460 --> 01:38:11,700
But I think they are plausible hypotheses.

1230
01:38:11,740 --> 01:38:15,700
Like the one about the fact that the Holy Grail
is the Holy Blood of David.

1231
01:38:15,740 --> 01:38:19,660
And the one who says that Jesus and Mary
Magdalena could have been married,

1232
01:38:19,700 --> 01:38:22,980
and that she was pregnant with the child
His.

1233
01:38:23,020 --> 01:38:26,220
Yes! She could have carried the Grail
to France.

1234
01:38:26,260 --> 01:38:30,140
And I think this is the way
we need to look at these materials

1235
01:38:30,180 --> 01:38:33,060
Is it true?
I don't know...

1236
01:38:33,100 --> 01:38:34,540
Is it plausible? Yes!

1237
01:38:34,580 --> 01:38:40,140
So the inspiration for The Da Vinci Code
for all the secrets of the Grail quest,

1238
01:38:40,260 --> 01:38:43,140
it is no more
no less than...

1239
01:38:43,220 --> 01:38:44,780
A big guess...

1240
01:38:44,900 --> 01:38:49,180
What Baigent and co-authors do,
it is an attempt

1241
01:38:49,260 --> 01:38:55,180
to use as resources a lot
of different ideas and with a wide spectrum

1242
01:38:55,300 --> 01:39:00,180
and that go in many directions.
It is also based on some real facts.

1243
01:39:00,500 --> 01:39:03,020
I urge you to confuse
yourself, the facts.

1244
01:39:03,100 --> 01:39:06,900
Fatally everything he does is sa
embalm crucial ideas with doubt,

1245
01:39:07,020 --> 01:39:13,100
presenting ideas or connections
which he finds possibly suggestive.

1246
01:39:13,180 --> 01:39:15,780
It is a history in his imagination.

1247
01:39:15,900 --> 01:39:20,580
Imagination does not work like history
history does not work like imagination either.

1248
01:39:20,700 --> 01:39:25,700
If you want to say
"secret that belongs to the world of imagination"

1249
01:39:25,860 --> 01:39:28,860
I agree with you
one hundred percent.

1250
01:39:28,940 --> 01:39:35,420
But he belongs to the world of imagination, and he is
one hundred percent a kind of alternative history.

1251
01:39:40,780 --> 01:39:44,860
Thus, after 10,000 miles on the roads,
after the struggle for the theories of the Grail

1252
01:39:45,020 --> 01:39:46,540
I returned from where I started.

1253
01:39:46,740 --> 01:39:49,060
I am empty handed.
But a little wiser.

1254
01:39:49,220 --> 01:39:51,980
And certainly with a lot
clarifications about the truth

1255
01:39:52,220 --> 01:39:53,700
behind the best seller
Romanian from our times.

1256
01:39:56,940 --> 01:40:01,340
I think it's like Da Vinci Code
is based on a range of sources,

1257
01:40:01,460 --> 01:40:04,860
rejected by most
historians, as pure fantasy.

1258
01:40:06,620 --> 01:40:11,380
And to be frank, in my opinion it is not
especially well written, but it doesn't matter.

1259
01:40:11,500 --> 01:40:15,180
Dan Brown is the first person to
had overwhelming success writing this way

1260
01:40:15,340 --> 01:40:17,020
and it is certainly the last one.

1261
01:40:17,140 --> 01:40:18,460
However, let's wish him luck.

1262
01:40:18,540 --> 01:40:20,460
Because what he did,

1263
01:40:20,580 --> 01:40:23,580
is what a story writer
chivalry, made 1000 years ago,

1264
01:40:23,660 --> 01:40:28,380
put something specific in the center of the novel,
something we all wish were real,

1265
01:40:28,540 --> 01:40:31,300
but deep down we know
that it will never be real.

1266
01:40:31,340 --> 01:40:35,580
 THE HOLY GRAIL
