symbols to represent and preserve her story, which evolved into the Holy Grail. In a ABC<br />

television documentary exploring the possibility of Jesus being married, Brown uses Da Vinci’s<br />

(a Prieuré de Sion member) painting of The Last Supper (c. 1495) as an example. A close<br />

examination of the figure on Jesus’ right, long believed to be John, actually looks like a woman,<br />

and he believes that it is actually a representation of Mary. Art historians, however, only need to<br />

refer to his painting 1516 painting of John the Baptist as proof of his penchant for portraying<br />

Biblical figures as effeminate men.<br />

Joseph of Arimathea, uncle to Mary, an Essene and well-to-do merchant in the tin market,<br />

who was a member of the Sanhedrin, appears to have been a guardian to Jesus. There is a legend<br />

that during one of his trips to Britain, Jesus was with him, and they stayed at a small house at<br />

Glastonbury. St. Augustine later wrote to Pope Gregory that Jesus had established a church there.<br />

Gildas (516-570), an early British historian, said that “Jesus afforded His light to this island<br />

during the height of the reign of Tiberius (who ruled 14-37 AD, with the ‘height’ being around<br />

25-27).”<br />

It is explained that Jesus may have possibly been in the area to learn about the Druids. It is a<br />

long-held tradition that after the crucifixion, around 37 AD, Joseph led a group of people who<br />

settled in Glastonbury; and a wattle church was built on what became the location of the Abbey,<br />

which existed until the 1100’s. It is from this group which came the Culdees (quidam advanae)<br />

or Christianized Druids, who lived on the islands off the west coast of Britain.<br />

Merovee was the first king of the Merovingian bloodline, and he is surrounded in legend. He<br />

was said to have been fathered by two. When his mother was already pregnant by King Clodio,<br />

she went swimming in the ocean, where she was raped by a sea creature “similar to a<br />

Quinotaur,” so that when Merovee was born, the blood that coursed through his veins was a<br />

combination of both, which gave him superhuman powers. Merovee claimed he descended from<br />

Odin, a Norse God (which is where we get Wednesday, Woden’s Day, or Odin’s Day), which<br />

some researchers believe actually referred to Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, because the<br />

Merovingian kings claimed to be the descendants of the Spartans and Trojans.<br />

The tribe of Dan declined to accept their land when Joshua divided it up, and they marched<br />

up the Jordan valley to the city of Laish, conquered it, and called it the city of Dan. They<br />

immigrated to what is now known as Greece, where they dominated the people who were living<br />

there, the Pelasgians. They became known as the Danaoi. They established the settlement of<br />

Ionia on the Ionian Isles. A branch migrated to Ireland and were known as the “Tuatha de<br />

Danaan,” then went to Denmark as the Danes, and another branch eventually made their way to<br />

Britain. The Celts claim they came from the tribe of Dan, and that the name Denmark, and the<br />

Danube River, give evidence of their migration.<br />

The Spartans lived in the southern Greek peninsula of Arcadia, later migrating across the<br />

Aegean Sea to build the city of Troy. According to the Iliad, by the Greek poet Homer, the<br />

founder of Troy was Dar-dan-us. Over the centuries the Spartans made their way into southern<br />

France, while the Trojans moved north and west into Germany, Belgium and northern France,<br />

following the Danube River, eventually settling in the province of Lorraine. In the apocryphal<br />

book of 1 Maccabees, it was written that the Spartans were related to the Jews and were of the<br />

stock of Abraham, and for various reasons, were believed to have been from the tribe of Dan.<br />

When the tomb of Childeric I, son of Merovee, was opened in 1653, 300 miniature bees of<br />

gold were found, which Napoleon had sewn into his coronation robe. In the Bible, the Danites<br />

were represented by a serpent, an eagle, a lion, and bees. The eagle’s wings on the back of the<br />

lion in the 7th chapter of Dan may symbolize Dan breaking away from the tribe of Judah. The
