Listen "The Priory of Sion – Guardians of the Holy Bloodline"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we investigate the Priory of Sion, a secret society first brought to public attention in the 1960s through forged documents claiming the group dated back to the Crusades. According to these texts, the Priory was created to protect the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, with supposed Grand Masters including Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton.
Though later revealed as a 20th-century hoax by Pierre Plantard, the myth of the Priory of Sion endured, popularized by novels like The Da Vinci Code and theories surrounding Rennes-le-Château. At its core lies the provocative idea of a hidden holy bloodline that could upend Christian history.
While historians dismiss its existence, the legend persists because it intertwines religion, mystery, and the human longing for hidden truths. Whether fact or fabrication, the Priory of Sion remains one of the most compelling modern myths of secret societies.
