Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Book • 1982
The book, written by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, presents a controversial hypothesis that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross but lived to marry Mary Magdalene and father children.
These children, according to the authors, became part of the Merovingian bloodline in southern France.
The book delves into the history of the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, and other secret societies, suggesting they were involved in protecting and promoting this bloodline.
Despite its provocative claims, the book has been criticized by scholars for lacking historical evidence and being classified as pseudohistory.
