This is nonsense. Even The Vatican openly admits to existence of the priory, as does history. Arguments over this group, and the Knights Templar, lie not in their existence, but in what role they actually played, and for what motives.

This video is such a lame cover up.This is why this Priory is called a secret society.Pretending that this man who came up out of nowhere having these fantasist claims..His claims are false to make us not beleave in the priory of Sion.

Of course it's a cover up. The tomb to Rennes La Chateau has been sealed off-no digging allowed. A simple DNA test of the Mummies and the existing StClair family should do the trick, right? The coverup continues but now it even looks like 100% coverup because the evidence is being hidden away. We have a right to know our past. This history is not for the French, or the Church to say...No, you shall not learn of it!

@Xabesroth

Or perhaps it's because despite the fact that all the evidence shows it was a hoax you refuse to believe it. There are people in this world that are addicted to conspiracies and no matter how the evidence shows their conspiracy is a fantasy, they go on believing it. Even one of the authors of "The Holy Blood" accepts they were taken in by a hoax. The other two carry on with it because conspiracy books are, if the take off, great money-making. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY!

@88TFalcon "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", doesn't sound very literal to me, it's a parable for punishment, you kill someone, we kill you.

@Pappyroys - "Well, around the time Jesus born nobody cared except those in Judea, by that time people used science and technology for answers, but in dark ages.."

what if how those in Herod's time knowing who would be born when, later also knew some of those folks went to Europe (ie the ones they couldn't find with that census etc), and had to do with those dark ages occuring - which remember were only in Europe.

@mysty0 - if you mean the maybe-faked* book then no they're different. The Priory is / was a bit like the non-fighting wing of the Templars - wheras the 'protocols of zion' is describing ways to basically wipe out the soul - eradication of religion all-in, and cover ups and lies to make it seem like the aethers are not true, and evil shit like that.

* it's definitely true in the sense of what it describes doing to the world, it's evident it's been carried out.

so if this is denying for example that Circuit magazine was about real stuff, what about Short Circuit magazine then - will that wash with them, if we say Jesus is a Mecha 'Headlamp Child'...

@spacecowboy95 - you're really stupid then, what about Henry Lincoln's research? they're not liars, surrealism and so forth hinted at facts to do with human origins, aliens have and do engineer people and there were bloodlines (genetic types) put here to be rulers, some people are bred to do specific things just like people do with dogs and other animals.

haha oh man back when i was a kid i thought the davinci code and the priory and all that was so compelling, i wanted it to be true.

now im a little more grown up and can see this as just another conspiracy theory. the real history of jesus and the bible is facinating enough.
