    He doesn't write this stuff you know!! He's given a script, and a travel schedule and an admin and technical crew, and a director and he uses his presentation skills to spout off other peoples' work! Same as Palin, and Tony Robinson. It's all image and done with mirrors.

    I believe the holy grail is within, compassion, empathy and most importantly, love. So you can search for it all your life but unless you open your heart you’ll never find it. It’s a thing that can never be found, it can only be felt. Good luck to all on their quest.😇

    You're correct about the lack of facts in the DaVinci Code. And thanks for the info about Tony Robinson. It so happens that I authored a book entitled "The Holy Grail is Found." And it speaks quite literally; not figuratively. THE Holy Grail has indeed finally been found; there is no other. And my book makes quite a compelling case for that fact. The Holy Grail is the greatest of all treasures. And as the legends promise, it offers immortality to all who partake of it. The Grail was never a physical cup, however. But it is indeed the metaphysical "cup" that Jesus Christ drank from, as He Himself attests in the New Testament. So, if you think you are ready for the Holy Grail, it has finally been revealed. "Seek and ye shall find."

    Lack of facts in the davinci code and ZERO facts in the bible. Pure FICTION and stories , from a time when people had no concept of science and misunderstood things like death - ie: they were scared of the unknown. Now (most of us) know better thankfully. Just a few hanging on to old fables that they've been indoctrinated in, since childhood.

    I am glad he was wise enough to keep a respectful and neutral tone through this whole thing. There is no need to mock people's beliefs even if many find them ridiculous. No doubt partly that was just because the BBC hoped to get some Christian viewership drawn by the Holy Grail subject, as well as secular types who just wanted to see Hammond. But I am glad all the same. Although historical topics always make me kind of sad. I find them extremely interesting, but it also saddens me to think of the stories we will never know, all the countless people who lived out their lives and who will never be known, at best maybe we have a tomb or some inscription, and that is only for the more famous ones. You could be a famous warrior and live through many adventures and tragedies, private loves, their families and friends, and in the end you might get your name written down somewhere, maybe an effigy figure. Sometimes the names are not even legible, no one remembers anything else about you. And for the vast majority of people they didn't even get that. It makes me sad to think about.

    Not every life is spectacular. Only a small percent of people choose to do something great with their life. We do have names, accounts, and stories of special individuals, but not everyone is familiar with every person's history. For most of human kind, your world was very small, maybe those in your village or immediate area. Only now do we have a greater understanding of those around us and those that came before us. Our modern history wont even be discovered tho. In previous centuries, information was transferred onto long lasting, hard wearing items like stone or metal. All of our digital media will be broken or destroyed in no time, unable to be discovered by civilizations after us.

    As a devoted catholic... Even I call bullshit on the existence of the ancient Christian artifacts... And here's why... For 300 years after Christ's death... It was illegal to be Christian... At the time NO ONE not ANY of the apostles or anyone else would have considered preserving any of the items we associate today... We're talking about wood... Bloody Linen... and hunks of metal... And seeing as how Christ was a Jew in ROMAN territory... More than likely ANY of the things we hold sacred were either recycled I.E. the Nails... Or destroyed... Like the linen... Or simply rotted away... The wooden cup Jesus more than likely drank from was probably a wooden bowl... Common for the time... Regardless... I'll watch this thing just to see what the hell comes of it...

    well not quite, for the first century or so it was just a niche religion nobody really cared about. It became illegal as it became more prominent and started to threaten the official roman religion (and the money it made from its temples). Nevertheless, there were as many christianities as there are baptist churches in the US...so any genuine articles from Jesus (not even going to get into the historicity) surviving and falling into the hands of what later became the catholic church, is highly unlikely.

    Videogeek95 Having trouble with reading comprehension? Let me break it down. thousands of small christian cults...a handful of genuine artifacts = 0.000000001~% probability of a specific cult, that then became the catholic church, obtaining a specific artifact, that was supposedly missing for a few centuries. In the first part I just corrected your statement that christianity was illegal immediately after Jesus' supposed crucifiction.

    I see the old 'Jesus is a myth' argument is alive and well in this comments section. It's not enough for non-Christians to deny Christ's divinity (which is a perfectly acceptable option with its own arguments) they have to embarrass themselves by siding with a very small number of scholars who deny he ever existed at all. Jesus is almost certainly a historical figure, the exact specifics of his life aren't known but that is true of _most_ ancient historical figures and really isn't an acceptable argument. We get it, you hate religion because a priest touched you or you're stupid enough to think that human beings _wouldn't_ kill each other without it, fine. Denying the existence of a historical figure just because he's the figurehead of a religion is fucking retarded, it's like denying the existence of L. Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith just because they have also been attributed divine/supernatural abilities. For the record I DO believe that Jesus was a deeply connected person and that he brought a message of love and tolerance, his being the son of God is something I'm not sure about but I'm keen to explore. I WAS an Atheist and it didn't make me any smarter or happier than I am now so please refrain from using that tired old stereotype.

    Jesus's existence is actually a rather interesting topic, and not one with great consensus amongst medieval scholars. I was talking with a professor at UC Davis, and she said that his very existence is somewhat suspect due to the dearth of corroborative evidence at the time. Notably, romans kept records of trials and executions, and no record exists in the region and time period that jesus is supposed to have existed of anyone being accused and executed of the crimes he supposedly were crucified for. Other details, such as the census and excecution of children also never happened. The romans were actually a fairly advanced bureaucratic society with thorough record keeping and management. None of their records indicate jesus's existence.

    The very mention of UC Davis is suspect though due to its political leanings. Historically speaking there is both religious and non-religious confirmation of Jesus life and his death. I'm afraid that you are incorrect in that the Romans did not keep those records. They exist.

    Unfortunately, the existence or lack of existence of Roman records isn't concrete evidence of for or against. Let's just assume that a person named Jesus Christ existed who claimed to be a messenger from YHWH and a representative of the Jews. As a roman dignitary in charge of the region, you have a visionary gathering a huge cult following based on a variation of the Jewish faith (an already persecuted religion), in an already volatile region in ISRAEL ready to ignite from political and religious in-fighting. Say that Jesus was executed by crucifixion; you have just created an immortal martyr that would cement the faith of his followers for generation upon generation. Instead of doing the clever thing and discrediting, you kill the man because things are just getting worse and worse and a martyr is better than a civil war. So what are you going to do to try to minimise the aftereffect and consequences of this martyrdom? You erase the record of the execution so at the very LEAST you have deniability on your side. In fact, finding the execution of Jesus Christ as listed would do more to paint him as a minor annoyance instead of a significant threat. No matter how you look at it, the evidence or lack of it, can be construed and interpreted in different ways. Unfortunately, Constantinople (what is now Istanbul) does have religious relics which date back to that time, or DID have religious relics that date back to that time. There is evidence of the existence of Jesus's followers and their mark on the world. Either this was a huge scam on the part of the apostles, or Jesus Christ did exist in some shape or form, or the legend of Christianity sprung up from an entirely different source and very quickly (as there is evidence of Christianity existing in large numbers quite soon after the supposed death of Christ, talking in century terms). What I'm saying is, much better to be agnostic rather than to assert the existence or lack of existence of something that can easily be construed to exist either way.

    Thanks for enjoyable version Richard I think the Holy Grail came back to England from France as the Cathars was rumoured to have the Holy Grail everyone was after it plus the king of France & the Catholic Pope Innocent III . Many Cathars made it to England pre 1147 and after their is historical records that show this. So Could the Grail still be in France or elsewhere in Europe ? or could it be in England as its actually depicted on a wall in Hertfordshire as Cathar wall paintings at the Piccotts end old cottage museum near Hemel Hempstead England . Their is also knights Templer cave near by at Royton which is also interesting I say the Grail is In England for safe keeping after it left Monsignor France.

    There's so much to the Saunierre story, he was a priest,yet on his deathbed after hearing his confession he was refused absolute unction, when the authors of the book originally broadcast the story a priest who knew Saunierre phoned up the BBC and said that he had proof Christ didn't die on the cross(he denied saying so later),all 3 gave up their jobs with the Beeb, moved to the area to research and write the book. It wasn't just Cathars that were burnt at montsegur, the mercenaries that had been employed converted to Catharism knowing what their fate would be. Saunierres housekeeper also knew a lot but died suddenly unable to say. It really is a great book and story, much more to it than I can say here or dan brown in his poor copy of a true mystery
