The Da Vinci Code Phenomenon

The year before last I had an offer to give a lecture overall Mary Magdalene phenomenon, about the same time the movie: "The Da Vinci Code" released to theatres worldwide. It was an interesting time because it made the two gross debating groups increase the gap between them and I was caught right smack in the middle.

The whole phenomenon to those who mysteriously spent time in a cave- can be circumscribed as follows: Jesus did not die at the Cross, He married Mary Magdalene (who was not a prostitute but a princess) and they had family, their first-born was named Merovie (thus giving birth to the Merovingian race) that descends to our current time.

Emmerlich's book discusses this point too, but is not the only source .

The first thing that would happen to a body afterwards being so brutally traumatized is dehydration beginning far back in Getsemani with Hematidrosis , and continuing with the Roman scourging. It is important for the listener to be able to see; either in a diorama or any other images form the types of flagrum the roman soldiers used. Despite the fact that
