  S: Is it true that the Pope attacked Provence?

  P: It is. The people of Provence believed that Jesus was married to Magdalene, that they had a child, and that they lived in Provence. Therefore, Provence was declared the sacred land. The Pope of Rome did not like these theories. As you know, according to the Christian religion Jesus was never married, never had children and died on the cross. The people of Provence believed he died of natural death. Therefore, they were attacked. The legend says that only four Provence people survived. Two pairs, two women and two men, who later continued the generation of the Merovings. The Merovings are supposed to have saved the Holy Treasure, the Ark of the Covenant, which Magdalene took from Herod's Jerusalem Temple. The legend mentions the existence of five Arks of the Covenant. They are supposedly hidden on five locations all over the world, one of them in Ethiopia.

  Jesus' relatives are supposed to have escaped towards Toulouse. Only one branch of his descendants survived. The branch of the Habsburgs, who came to power in Austria in 1272.

  S: Are any of Jesus' descendants still alive nowadays?

  P: Of course they are. Not long ago I saw one of his descendants on television. Otto of Habsburg. But he is not the only one.
