      The conclusion of the investigation into Jesus and Mary Magdalene's bloodline reveals centuries of previously inaccessible archives, shedding light on their offspring. This work answers critical questions about their marriage, potential children, and their fate with remarkable accuracy. It includes genealogical charts tracing the messianic lineage, historically named Tamar, Joshua, and Joseph, extending through 600 years to Arthur Pendragon. Gardner's access to Vatican archives uncovers Christian manuscripts from the 2nd century that identify Mary as the 'bride of Christ' and document the influential heirs of Jesus within the Roman Empire, who faced persecution after the crucifixion. Four centuries later, the New Testament gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were compiled, omitting references to this messianic marriage and bloodline, although older gospels still preserve their legacy. The book traces this lineage through 600 years post-crucifixion, illustrating how the fate of Jesus's descendants became intertwined with the Grail legend of King Arthur. This mythology reflects Jesus as a messianic ancestor, portraying both figures as 'Once and Future Kings' destined to lead and prophesied to return. Utilizing new and unpublished documents, the narrative details the history of Jesus's descendants and the Roman Church's efforts to erase their legacy and the core tenets of the original Christian movement.
