11 Conspiracy Theories and Shady Rumours

5. Jesus and Mary Magdalene Were Married”¦With Children

The small fragment of papyrus with neatly printed Coptic text, The Gospel of Phillip and novels like ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘The Expected One’ are a small number of the many (an age old) stories supporting the theory that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had three children.

The theory finds its basis in writings from the Gnostic Gospels, which were discovered in 1945 and whose authenticity religious experts still dispute.

6. Secret Societies That Rule The World

If this really is the truth of it, I’ll bet those clandestine, substitute-government lads and lasses, must sit around a shiny black table making decisions for and trading off on countries as though it were a Tupperware party where the benefits of how large a population one country can hold can be compared to how long another can keep its peace pact fresh like an air-tight container.

What happens though when the country is deemed faulty and they want a replacement, I wonder?

In 2004, both candidates for the White House caused a stir when it was made public that they were members of Yale University’s secretive Skull and Bones society, many of whose members have risen to powerful positions. Seats of power are the name of the game and what better way to rule the world? But the Skull and Bones is small fry in Secret Society gangland, compared to say, The Illuminati.
