This was absolutely fantastic so well done. So interesting, so obvious, but you made it truly special the whole way. Good job

Another DNA wrinkle: we don't actually inherit DNA from every single on of our ancestors. We inherit 1/2 of our DNA from each of our parents, but the fraction DNA we inherit from each of their parents is never exactly 1/4 because of recombination. In fact, it's entirely possible that a grandparent's contribution to their grandchildrens' genomes can differ by a factor of 2. This random variation eventually results in some children receiving 0 DNA from a proportion of their ancestors, with that proportion growing the further back you go in time. After 8 generations, a child inherits DNA from less than half of their 256 great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents. After the number of generations between Jesus and Sophie, it's a near certainty that she would have inherited no DNA from Jesus.

I am grateful for this channel. Thank you.

Its easily debunked because its a book by Dan Brown. This guy never gets anything right. There are fantasy and sci fi novels more grounded in reality than a typical Dan Brown novel which supposedly features "meticulous research" and "true facts" 🤣

I don't know anyone that thinks DC is real. It's just entertaining.

remember reading Holy Blood Holy Grail, and it struck me as the only conspiracy theory where the super secret organization obsessed with bloodlines (always a good sign) is the good guys. 30:30 meme Jesus: I'm actually laughing.

If you look up st john the Baptist by davinci, he is portrayed exactly the same way as he is in the last supper, curly red hair, feminen etc...idk why people don't realize that

The hymn ‘Jerusalem’ has nothing to do with British Isrealism. It is based on William Blake’s poem ‘And did those feet in ancient time’, in which Blake speculates on whether Jesus ever came to England. It has been suggested that Blake is expanding on the myth that Joseph of Arimathea traveled to Britain. This legend was promoted by the monks of Glastonbury abbey who used Arthurian fiction to attract pilgrims (they also claimed Arthur’s grave), Joseph bringing the Holy Grail with him and also planting his staff into the ground at Glastonbury from which a bush miraculously grew. Jerusalem is a metaphor for Christ’s kingdom of god, or a New Jerusalem that is brought about by the second coming. Neither Blake’s poem nor the medieval myth suggest that British people are descended from the ten lost tribes.

The actual history of Mary Magdalene in France is quite an interesting one. According to legend Jesus's three friends from Bethany, Mary (identified with The Magdalene), Martha and Lazarus came to Gaul after his death. They died and were buried in different places there. Originally Vezelay in Burgundy was regarded as Mary's burial place but owing to political disputes the city became unattractive to pilgrims and in 1279 The Pope officially accepted the rival claim of St Maximin in Provence and this remains the accepted burial site. It would be quite droll if Vezelay should revive its claim and the two cities held a competition to perform the most impressive miracle. The Louvre Pyramid could compete too if it liked.

:’) Do you guys think John Oliver watches these lectures? I guess Last Week Tonight just released a special bonus episode last night on the Da Vinci Code with many of the same points.

Got to do my own bit of debunking here! At 12:45 you connect the hymn Jerusalem with British-Israelism, there is no connection at all there, it's based on the apocryphal story that young Jesus & Joseph of Arimathea visited England (specifically Glastonbury) during His unknown years, & the second part is about building an ideal society, using Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven

Good morning from Seattle,.wa. We have a beautiful day!

Already know most of this stuff through Bart Ehrman but an excellent presentation, really entertaining. Thanks.

In Roman architecture, a triangle above a window is symbolic for female. If it's male, instead of a triangle, there is a kind of curve that echoes the shape of a dickhead. In the temples of Baalbek where I learned it, you can see the shapes being alternated on a row of windows (sorry I dont have the terminology, English isn't my mothertongue).

Good job! I knew most of this already from my reading books on this issue.

I loved this! While you're debunking conspiracies, and since you sorta got into the confusion around the origin of the gospels, would you consider doing a video on the whole "Caesar's Messiah" theory? I watched the documentary a few years ago and I remember thinking that it seemed plausible, but barely. It seems very possible to me that Vespasian didn't create the gospels, but that he did actually secretly support and encourage Christianity, believing that if the Jews would convert they would be less rebellious.

Update your information on the Shroud of Turin. Original plans for 7 samples analyzed by 3 labs was not followed. A corner repaired by French nuns in the 13th century was the only portion tested. Thus an invalid assumption of the entire shroud's age.

Kudos. This is a very well rounded and well researched debunk. It's easily the best rebuttal of the Da Vinci Code I've come across. Truth be told, I neither read the book nor the movie because I always thought it bad fiction. Perhaps one little details that could have been clarified a bit better: Ancient Coptic - as well as modern Coptic - is closely related to Aramaic. Which is of course meaningless in this context because the text was a translation from a Greek original, or possible a Greek translation. So, if there ever was a text in Aramaic, it is lost to history. A Coptic retranslation made with not too many translations in between, and close to the time when the original was written, may however be the best approximation to the original. Provided that the translator knew all the involved languages very well. And provided that there ever was an Aramaic original to begin with, which appears somewhat unlikely. This little and really insignificant detail aside, this lecture is outstanding.

The Gnostic take on the Crusifixion is very similar to the Muslim take. Is there any connection here?

Let's be completely honest, The DaVinci Code was absolute fire in a bottle, the guy didn't do anything wrong, all he did was promote his brand new book with the fact that he had done research in order to give credibility to some of the ideas that were promoted in that book. By the way, a lot of this year that it has been in that book is real

8:40 ...Star Trek? a better illustration would be Mission:Impossible where at the beginning Mr. Phelps is always cautioned, "and if any of your team are caught or killed the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions." 😉 35:04 ... to establish what we know or don't know Jodi Magness at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill would be the one to consult. She's a professor in the same Religious Studies department as Bart Erhman and a specialist in 1st century Judaism...

He missed the bit where Indiana Jones turns up

SPOILER: The Da Vinci Code was FICTION! That means NOT REAL.

Didn't Brown just read "The holy Blood and the holy grail" and "Foucault's pendulum" and synthesise them, and use a symbologist as a lead character after looking up what Umberto Eco's day-job meant?🤔

Was John's appearance "feminine" because they were trying to portray him as young/pre-puberty? or perhaps an early description of a non-binary or trans person? I've also heard proposed it was Mary Magdalene after all, ,who was trying to appear to the public as a male/John, so that she would be respected when they traveled from town to town?

the Georgians are the Hanoverians ie George of Hanover. they did have descendants. Victoria was a descendant and the current britsh so called royal family. also the russian tsar was related through victoria and the german kaiser, in fact all european royaly are lines from the hanoverians

How do we spread this information? How do we spread the word and not be Christians? And present as Christians and also be Christians? How do we be Christians and also be accepting what is truth? How can we continue Christ’s message and continue….? I don’t know how to manage all of this… Please help me provide my people who need the traditional Christ message… please help me begin a message where Christ is okay and where the religion is not okay?

There is no differentiation in this lecture between the book and the film which have 2 quite different endings, as is usual when making a film from a book. I get the impression, though it may be wrong, that the presenter hasn’t actually read the book. Having said that, there is a lot of interesting information in this presentation. The bigger question not tackled here is why in the Jewel-Christian religions god is a male, whereas in antiquity many religions where based on the sacred feminine.

Can you please explain this scripture then. Would this not be inappropriate if they were not married ? The Lord,” he says, “loved Mary more than the disciples and he often kissed her on the mouth …” And Peter said, “Sister, we know that the Lord has loved you differently from other women. ‘he said to you, which you remember and we do not know about … […] Is it possible that the Lord has spoken with a woman about secrets we do not know about? […] he really chosen and preferred to us? “

Great lecture. Although, I found it funny you used a Star Trek reference while making fun of another fictional story.

🤔

Controversy around Bible and Jesus make you sell books make money and get rich thats why.

I really enjoy, not so much the historical debunking of Dan Brown's DaVinci Code, but the logical fallacies. Teabing points at a painting of the Last Supper and says "Who is that sitting at the right hand of Jesus?" It's Saint Thomas, who in the past was always depicted as a feminine looking male. If that's not St. Thomas, then where is St. Thomas? In the bathroom? The throat slitting motion to fake Mary Magdalene is more of a there, there everything will be OK, Thomas. "How many cups are there?" "One big one in the middle." Nope, it's a bunch of small cups. Proving what? Also, this is not a photograph! It was painted by a man. He could've painted Jesus as a walrus if he wanted to. Looking at The Last Supper proves nothing.

What is all this stuff about siring children? Jesus chose his disciples, although in that time wannabe disciple chose their teacher. He loved the disciples, especially John.. He often spend the night outside with all or a sample of them. Got it?

Dan Brown stole his ideas from the original authors, Michael Baigent & Richard Leigh, of the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Read the book. It's much better than Dan Brown's rip off.

In the painting if doesn't look like a brain it lookz like a heart with ventricles

Sang Rial( Sang Reial, Royal Blood) , in Catalan Occitan language. It is all a conspiracy versus the cathars/ goth arrians,contrary to the pope un rome. First crusade was against the goths( catalonia today) and lasted 200 years if not more.

May want to learn of Don Wyatt. Js

The cash-in on this is ridiculous.

This should be fun.

What the Huck are all those intellectuals with ridiculous Mary Magdalen hair

The da Vinci code is a book made into a movie, for entertainment! It’s not a history book, it makes me laugh that so many people get their panties in a bunch and need to analyze things that are not analyzable, it’s a fiction, it’s a story, it’s a book, let it go.

The growth of offspring from two parents to the current population of earth is ~35 generations in 750-850 years. You do have to include loops, so many spots in your ancestry are occupied by the same person, but statistically, the oldest ancestor to all people alive lived between 1450bc-50ce. So if Jesus had kids who's descendants are still alive, most people in the middle east and Europe and the US are related to him. 😁

I can never make it live

Ah, but while there is no theology that prevents Jesus siring children, theology requires that those children would be Gods, which it also does not allow, so it must be banned.

Ya should debunk the Lord of the rings next

Surprised to hear Mr. Hamer calling Leonardo "da Vinci," making the same error Dan Brown does. He would be called "Leonardo." Da Vinci just meant "from Vinci," it wasn't a family name.

The triangle symbol made me wonder if the star of David originally meant love-making.

Good to know the facts. However, Dan Brown could have said Jesus had 2 sisters: Olga and Yuki. It is fiction.

In which John Hamer will teach us all how to get rich by bundling loose associations?

Its Dan Brown an historian. Or a fiction writer? Mmmmmmm! As fiction his novelas are entertaining... maybe not for the knowlegeble...

38:22 proving once again why people who aren't experts in Judaism shouldn't talk about it. Mishnah and Gemara run Jewish culture; it was a due process system and a civil code much like American law, with some differences of definition. Every legal system promotes the aims of the culture it operates. One aim of Jewish culture is the achuzot, the property split up after the Exodus. The law is, a man is required to have children so there is somebody to inherit his achuzah. The man who refuses to perform yibum is spitting in Gd's face by refusing to sire children. So the woman spits in HIS face when the ritual is performed that separates them. The idea is to pass the achuzah through the male but when this fails, it passes to the female line as the story of Tslafchad's daughters show. Using a story to establish this rule is a sign of an oral tradition, one that remained coherent for several millennia. Mishnah and Gemara fill in the blanks of Torah law by establishing standards, resolving conflicts, and in general making it possible to carry on the culture. It's obvious Harner has no clue about how an oral tradition runs a culture and how cohesive it is. I have a blog on this.

Why couldn t the churches have kept things this simple

Don't forget, that Francis Bacon re-edited the King James versions, so many of these verses can be misinterpreted and in a base of people try to understand, by the way, about John the beloved, Bacon just trying to favor King James, to make the point that Jesus has a male companion, so, make look normal to be in a same-gender relationship.

And if you take the vitruvian man's 72/27 and apply it to every 15 degrees you will move up 40 numbers every time. 15 degrees x72 ÷ 27 = 40 30 x72 ÷ 27 = 80 45 x72 ÷27 =120 60 x72 ÷27 =160 75 x72 ÷27= 200 90 x72 ÷27= 240 105 x72 ÷27= 300 2700 x72 ÷27=7200 Etc all the way up Please follow the math very carefully!!!! And try out the ventruvian man formula yourself at the end!!! They say the Mayan long count is 5200 years or 1,872,000 days but is actually 7200 years or 2,592,000 days. When we subtract the two we have 2000 years or 720,000 days. 72 is the number of completion. They started time over at 5200 years which was the year 0 AD. The last 2000 years they put on a special deceptive calendar to confuse mankind and the times of the end. They claim we run a gregorian calendar but when we do the math of 60 minutes per hour at 24 hours a day we get 1,440 minutes per day, 10,080 minutes per week and at 52 weeks we get 524,160 minutes. The solar cycle is exactly 360 days. With lunar cycles every 30 days exactly. 360 is a complete circle and a complete cycle. At 80 minutes per hour with an 18 hour clock day we also get 1,440 minutes per day, same as the gregorian calendar. But at 5 day weeks we get 7,200 minutes per week, and with a 72 week year we get 518,400 minutes. Take the 524,160 minutes from current time calendar minus the 518,400 minutes from the real solar cycle calendar of 360, exactly, we have 5,760 minutes added every year based on the currently ran calendar, which is 72 hours extra added every year. So 72 hours added every year for 2000 years is 144,000 hours or 8,000 days extra at the real solar cycle of 360 days and 80 minute 18 hour days.. However it is an additional 88 days for the 22 years we are currently about to be in 2022 AD. Which is 8,088 days. When we take 8,088 days and subtract 7200 days ( which is 20 years) we have 888 days left. Then subtract 720 days (which is the 2 years) we have 168 days left. Take 168 days (still on true solar cycle of 18 hour 80 minute days, 5 day week, 72 week year) and multiple by 18 hours to get 3024 hours. Divide by 24 hours (because we need to figure the days on current ran calendar) we get 126 days. Now we also must subtract 24 hours or a day from 1/3 of a year passed from the extra time added. Leaving 125 days. So 125 days from January 1st 2022AD is May 5th, 2022AD......which is also the true year 2000, the true y2k. The true end of the Mayan long count and the world. The collatz conjecture is 3x+1÷2 and goes hand in hand with 27/72 vetruvian man. It shows steps for doubling each angle also. Example... 15 degrees takes 17 collatz steps to get to 1, to the 4,2,1 loop. Each angle of degree that you double you just add one step. 60 degrees 18 steps. 120 degrees 19 steps, etc. This holds true for each sequence. It ties in with vetruvian man. If you start at 15 degrees and add 30 degrees each time starting a new column where the number can be doubled all the way up without any other number on that line. Example... 15/30/60/120/240/480 45/90/180/360/720/1440 75/150/300/600/1200/2400 105/210/420/840/1680/3360 40 also happens to go into 1440 minutes (our daily minutes)36 times, which are how many time segments fit into 1440 minutes per day, as follows... Also there are 36 different segments of time in the 1440 min per day. 1 hour @1440 min 2 hours @720 min 3 hours@480 min 4 hours@360 min 5 hours@288 min 6 hours@240 min 8 hours@180 min 9 hours@160 min 10 hours@144 min 12 hours@120 min 15 hours@96 min 16 hours@90 min 18 hours@80 min 20 hours@72 min 24 hours@60 min 30 hours@48 min 32 hours@45 min 36 hours@40 min 40 hours@36 min 45 hours@32 min 48 hours@30 min 60 hours@24 min 72 hours@20 min 80 hours@18 min 90 hours@16 min 96 hours@15 min 120 hours@12 min 144 hours@10 min 160 hours@9 min 180 hours@8 min 240 hours@6 min 288 hours@5 min 360 hours@4 min 480 hours@3 min 720 hours@2 min 1440 hours@1 min These are the different ran clocks all on the same "master clock" so each world has 1440 minutes per day. This proves a building block of life and creationism (God). When it's shown on a directed graph it even looks like the tree of life.. 1 minute=60 seconds 1 hour= 60 minutes or 3600 seconds 1 day=24 hours, 1440 min, or 86,400 sec 1 week=5 days, 120 hrs, 7200 min, 432,000 seconds 1 month=6 weeks, 30 days, 720 hours, 43,200 min, or 2,592,000 sec 1 year=12 months, 72 weeks, 360 days, 8640 hours, 518,000 minutes, 31,104,000 seconds 1 divine year=360 years, 4320 months, 25920 weeks, 129,600 days, 3,110,400 hrs -1 Decan (Tetrahedron degrees720)= 2 divine years, 720 years, 8640 months, 51,840 weeks, 259,000 days -2 Decan(Octahedron 1140degrees)= 4 divine years, 1440 years, 17,280 months, 103,680 weeks, 518,000 days -3 Decans(Hexahedron 2160degrees)=6 divine years, 2160 years -Saros Cycle(Icosohedron 3600degrees)= 10 divine years, 3600 years -3 Platonic Months(Dodecahedron 6480 degrees)=18 divine years, 6480 years -6 Platonic Months=36 divine years, 12960 years -12 Platonic Months=72 divine years or 25,920 years ( 1 Great Year) (1%)Sandhya=100 divine years or 36,000 years (8%)kali= 1000 divine years or 360,000 years (1%)Sandhyamsa=100 divine years Total= (10%) 1200 divine years or 432,000 years (2%)Sandhya= 200 divine years or 72,000 years (16%)DWAPARA= 2000 divine years or 720,000 years (2%)Sandhyamsa= 200 divine years or 72,000 years Total= (20%) 2400 divine years or 864,000 years (3%) Sandhya= 300 divine years or 108,000 years (24%) TRETA= 3,000 divine years or 1,080,000 years (3%)Sandhyamsa= 300 divine years or 108,000 years Total= (30%) 3600 divine years or 1,296,000 years (4%)Sandhya= 400 divine years or 144,000 years (32%)SATYA= 4,000 divine years or 1,440,000 years (4%)Sandhyamsa= 400 divine years or 144,000 years Total=(40%) 4,800 divine years or 1,728,000 years Grand total= 12,000 divine years or 4,320,000 years. 4,320,000 seconds= 72,000 min 4,320,000 minutes= 72,000 hours 4,320,000 hours= 180,000 days 4,320,000 days= 864,000 weeks 4,320,000 days= 144,000 months 4,320,000 weeks= 720,000 months 4,320,000 weeks= 60,000 years 4,320,000 months= 360,000 years 4,320,000 years= 12,000 divine years 2,592,000 sec= 43,200 min 2,592,000 min= 43,200 hours 2,592,000 hours= 108,000 days 2,592,000 days= 518,400 weeks 2,592,000 days= 86,400 months 2,592,000 weeks= 432,000 months 2,592,000 months= 216,000 years 2,592,000 years= 7,200 divine years 2,592,000 years= 1,000 Great Years The list goes on and on for the number sequencing and times/degrees of angles.

01:03:39 What a chump. _"Cuneis"_ is where we get the word for Sumerian wedged writing, _"cuneiform."_ {:o:O:}-

Wait until these people find out Winnie the Pooh isn't real

It's not what you think.. It was not meant for you... And you won't see it...

as a teacher, the speaker's use of words reptetive use of words such as things and stuff'" weaken the schlar ship and his ideas Dan Drown's book. is statedly a historically based fantasy. and interesting as such.

Wow no one sees it???? The code reveals that this is a matrix!!!!!!!!! The architect of how to construct a universe 😭 where are the mathematicians???? It also reveals the real dominators and rulers of earth.. actually Multiple paintings reveal different entities that rule earth

Well on a good note.. Jurassic park is factual... I know for sure, because I own Albums and songs from T Rex... Cast Away... Hell yeah, I have a Basketball called Wilson as a best friend, so that's true also... Not sure what point you are making, because everyone, including the Author, have never stated this to be, nothing but fiction... Jesus Christ, Mother of Mary, Oh My God... Get a life... lol

It would be most inconvenient to the Catholic church if Jesus had been married, and produced offspring. He would have founded a dynasty that could claim Papacy for all time.

Surely, an inverted triangle denotes female, and a diamond male, as that is the shape of our pubic hair? {:o:O:}

I don't think the church is real, oh it is..weird

I hate the way people think they are special just because they are related to a Messiah

The lecturers proposition is weak and mostly assumption to things, laws or doctrine that MIGHT not occurred dhrin5the time of Christ.. 1. The Priori of Sion is just a representation which i think you misinterpreted. It is the origin Freemasons that was meant but to avoid it being too obvious, the author chose another griup though its mythical. 2. The church, the catholic, didn't actually see Christ as a Human fully, and if thus scandals werw really true, the damages that it will bring to the church is massive due to the fact that Jesus were viewed as holy and perfect without a sin.. And sex was considered by many as an original sin. One proof of that is that, Priest who is following Jesus' teaching comdemed themselves to marry women to avoid this original sin... 3. You didn't read the novel itself. To understand how Dan Brown depicts the intermarriage of those triangles. Conclusion : While it is true that the boom is questionable, your proposition didn't truly debunked it. And you just understand the code literally while it means another. The joke i think is on you...

Besides that Magdalene was Simon's wife and Martha the housekeepster was Jesus'es wife.

So John the Beloved was most likely a young, feminine looking man (maybe mid teens but no older than 17yrs old) and maybe Jesus was having a sexual relationship with him. And when Judas found out Jesus was having sex with John he got jealous because he loved Jesus and wanted to be in a sexual relationship with him, so that’s why he sold him out to the high Rabbis in Jerusalem for 30 pieces of silver. And in the end Judas regretted it because he didn’t want to see the love of his life crucified so he killed himself. Just a theory and it’s no more crazy than The Da Vinci Code

What a sloppy presentation!
