Timothy W. Hogan (Credit: Youtube)A leader of a modern Knights Templar order claims that the bones of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and John the Baptist are secretly stored in vaults in the US. Timothy W. Hogan, Grand Master of the order, made these claims on the Danny Jones Podcast, alleging the Templars smuggled the relics from Jerusalem to protect them from the Vatican. Hogan said the remains were originally found in the Talpiot Tomb in East Jerusalem, discovered in 1980. Archaeologists uncovered ossuaries, including one inscribed “Yeshua bar Yehosef” (“Jesus, son of Joseph”). Hogan claims the Templars moved the bones to prevent the Vatican from suppressing them. “When the tomb was originally discovered, with ossuaries labeled with the names Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and John the Baptist, it was understood that if the remains were turned over to the Vatican, they would vanish,” he said. “The Church would have buried the story because it contradicts their doctrine.” The Knights Templar, a medieval order disbanded in 1312, are often tied to conspiracy theories. Hogan insists DNA testing could soon verify the remains, matching bone fragments from the tomb with historical records. “This isn’t something we’re trying to hide,” he said. “We’ve just been trying to protect it.” Hogan says there were originally seven vaults, now consolidated into two in the American Northwest. “Inside them are the six Arks we acquired, as well as several different ossuaries containing the bones believed to belong to Jesus, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, and their children,” he claimed. He also mentioned a Templar vault in Istanbul, now under Turkish Antiquities’ care. The Vatican allegedly knows about the vaults but not their US locations. Hogan warned that if the relics were seized, they “would disappear,” as they contradict the doctrine of Jesus’ physical resurrection. “If these had been turned over to the Pope, they would have been made to vanish,” he insisted. Hogan admits no DNA tests have been done yet but says the order plans to conduct them. “Certain fragments recently recovered from the Talpiot Tomb could be used to make a match,” he said. He also presented controversial claims about Jesus’ family, saying Mary Magdalene first married John the Baptist, then Jesus, and they had children. Mainstream scholars reject these ideas, citing no historical or genetic evidence. The post Knights Templar Leader Claims Jesus’ Bones Are Hidden in US Vaults appeared first on Anomalien.com.
