The Marion Conspiracy

The book I read to research this post was The Marion Conspiracy by Graham Phillips which is an excellent book which I bought from amazon. One of the theories in this book is that Jesus was Herod's grandson. Antipater who was Herod's son had a wife called Marion who disappeared & Antipater's children all mysteriously disappeared when it's known Herod didn't want them to inherit his throne. It would explain why Herod wanted to kill Jesus. Also why didn't Pontius Pilate have Jesus crucified for sedition when claiming to be king of the jews was that offence surely he must have thought there was some truth to it. Another theory is that Joseph of Arimethea was Jesus's brother & that he along with his mother Mary went to Glastonbury in England with the holy grail. This isn't as far fetched as it sounds there were roads as far as northern France & indeed many christians settled in England to escape persecution. At that time even though britain hadn't been annexed by the romans many romans lived here. Another theory which is mentioned although Graham wrote another book about it is that the King Arthur legend is based on a real King of Powys & that Camelot is Anglesey in North Wales. Since publication of that book it has been proven settlement at Wroxeter the capital of Powys lasted longer than they thought which goes along with Graham's theories.
