I have read many pages of exerpts of "holy grail" and was interested in it's ideas but had always heard that it was academically lacking. I'm also confused as to what purpose the bloodline serves. My friend went to see some of the dead sea scrolls. She said when you leaned in close enough to read them an alarm went off. Supposedly the true name of Jesus was there. Anyway my brother was mentioning the merovignian bloodline thing the other day in reference to a recent book he was reading can't wait to contact him to see if it is this book.
