I've done some research and - now I'm just throwing this out there - but one line of thought is that the Holy Grail is actually the child born of Mary Magdelene and Jesus of Nazareth - and this lineage exists. This is why there are so many estimations of where the "holy grail" ended up. Any comments?

I believe this was the premise of "The Holy Blood, The Holy Grail". It was an interesting book and makes a lot more sense to me than it being a magical cup. I believe the book was debunked, though.

Awesome if true. I'm surprized after the publication of the book koan mentioned, there hasn't been a mass wave of nutters putting their hands up shouting " It's me, it's me. I'm the/a descendant of J and M." :wah:

It was never meant to be - "I'm the Holy Grail - it's me - it's me" It was kept secret for soooo long by the Catholic and Christian Church. Remember that Jesus said - if you lift a rock - I am there -- or something like that - a very humble man who would have been appalled by the Church

I know it's meant to be a secret too. I was just raising the fact that there are a lot of crazy deluded people in the world with God or Jesus complexes. Many Psychiatrists could attest to that.

As I recall, if correct, the Rosicrucians were supposed to have kept track of the bloodine and passed this highest priority secret along orally for a long time. The Rosicrucians were derived from the Knights Templar who were originally charged with the secret.

My brother once believed he was an incarnation of Christ and me of Mary. Thankfully he realised his mistake.

I hope your brother is feeling better these days

Much better. He's Muslim now and there is no sign that he thinks he's Mohammed.

Glad to hear your brother is better koan.

I'm loving the humor here!

I find the funniest things in life are true.

I love your theory nvalleyvee! I've been waiting for someone to post something about the Da Vinci Code. Loved the book. I just watched a documentry on the book and the search for the holy grail, etc. I thought many of these people in search for the 'cup' seemed so desperate. I started to have my own crazy theories on this history. Anyway, then I watched some Monty Python and felt better about the whole thing.

I'm reading it at the moment! Its really eye opening, I can't put it down

Yes, it`s a well-written and interesting book, and the theme is also taken up by Dan Brown in The da Vinci Code. However, I believe in a recent TV programme, Tony Robinson investigated it fully and established (somehow, don`t ask me for exact details as the prog was over 3 hours long!) that the story didn`t actually start until the 1950`s and was then applied retrospectively to explain things which may have happened in the past. Anybody remember this?

That aside, it IS quite plausible in my mind and certainly merits further study!

You might want to try a new book called THE GRAIL CONSPIRACY if you are interested in that kind of story.

It will come out in Sept. but you can preorder it now.

This is the kind of whakercrackery that results when people venerate objects and don't revere God.

This could be true, after all...I'm Napoleon.

:yh_rotfl Watch out for Waterloo!

I thought the Holy Grail was the cup that Jesus drank out of at the Last Supper.

The Holy Grail was the subject of Arthurian legends, and a revered "holy object." The Da Vinci code and recent fiction have taken a different turn of events, as story writers use their imaginations in recent novels.

I haven't heard Monty Python mentioned yet either...................
