The Roman world was full of mystery cults, and Christianity didn’t particularly stand out among them. Plus, I doubt the Romans cared one way or the other about Jesus and his legacy during the first couple generations after his death. The Romans executed lots of people, and they generally didn’t pursue the unfortunates’ children. I don’t think Jesus’s children would’ve had to hide from the Romans. The Da Vinci Code is a fun read, largely because the mystery springs from such a juicy, history-laden conspiracy theory. The Da Vinci Code’s secret bloodline would never have been secret in the first place. that the Church began insisting that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were the only four gospels, and many Christians remained dedicated to alternate gospels for centuries after.) So Jesus’ daughter and the first several generations of her descendants would’ve had no reason to hide and no one to hide from. The Mary/wife story would’ve been just one of many inconsistent stories surrounding the life of Jesus Christ. Plus, the early Church had no unified dogma, so alternate beliefs about Christ’s life could co-exist. It wasn’t the power center we now know it was a small crew of humble and mostly poor people, with no long arm that could send assassins across the Mediterranean to wipe out its enemies. But during the apostles’ time, the Church lacked the might, will, and motivation to kill anyone.

Others try to find and expose the evidence - to tell the world. The Priory’s Motivation Isn’t Possible No One “Preserves” A Secret: Some conspirators try to bury secrets, so no one will find out.If you’re looking at 3,500 secret-keepers over 2,000 years, the chance of exposure is 100%. Every time someone has a falling out with the organization’s leaders - or gets drunk or sick, or falls in love with a non-member - you’ve got a chance of exposure. Most governments and corporations can’t protect a secret known by ten people for more than five years. Even if you take a conservative number and guess 50 people know the secret in every generation, that would mean 3,500 people have learned it during the past 2,000 years. We don’t know how many members the Priory has or how many Church leaders know the secret, but it’s got to be dozens at a time for each organization - maybe hundreds. Time increases the risk too because more years means more chances to spill the beans. Every time someone new learns a secret - every time you add someone to the conspiracy - you increase the chance of exposure. A Secret Known to Dozens or More in Every Generation for 2,000 Years Can’t Remain Secret: The Da Vinci Code tells us that the Church’s leadership and the Priory of Sion have known the Mary Magdalene secret since the time of the apostles, but they’ve kept it from the rest of the world.This double conspiracy theory has a lot of small problems, as well as three so gigantic that there’s no way around. The Church wants to bury the secret and the Priory wants to preserve the evidence, to reveal the secret at some future date. Secret #2: The Church and the Priory of Sion (a pagan cult) know about Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and they’ve been keeping the secret from the rest of the world for two thousand years.(The Holy Grail is not a cup but rather Mary Magdalene herself, who became a vessel for Christ’s blood by bearing his child.)
