Ancient society claims Jesus’ bones are hidden in the US

A leader of an order founded in the 12th century to protect Christian in the Holy Land, has claimed that there are secret vaults in the US with the bones of Jesus.

The astonishing claims, made by Timothy W. Hogan during an interview on the Danny Jones Podcast, suggest that the legendary Knights Templar transported sacred relics to the New World centuries ago, allegedly hiding them from the Vatican’s grasp. 

Hogan alleged that the order discovered the remains in the Talpiot Tomb in East Jerusalem during the Middle Ages and that they are now stored in two vaults somewhere in the American Northwest. 

However, the Talpiot Tomb has long been a subject of controversy, with many scholars dismissing its connection to Jesus as speculative and unsupported by solid evidence.

The Templars, officially disbanded by the Pope in the 14th century, are often linked to sensational conspiracy theories. Critics have questioned Hogan’s claims, citing the lack of physical proof or independent verification.

But Hogan insists DNA testing could soon verify the authenticity of the remains. He said that if historical records and ship logs align with recently uncovered bone fragments in the same tomb, scientists might be able to confirm a genetic match. 

‘This isn’t something we’re trying to hide,’ Hogan said. ‘We’ve just been trying to protect it. 

‘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. 

‘The Church would have buried the story because it contradicts their doctrine.’ 

The Knights Templar were a powerful and wealthy military order created around 1119 AD to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land following the First Crusade. 

The order was dissolved by Pope Clement V in 1312 after accusations of heresy, charges now widely believed to have been fabricated for political reasons. 

Hogan told Jones that the biblical bones were removed from the rock-cut Talpiot Tomb, a site excavated in 1980 in East Jerusalem. 

Archaeologists found ten ossuaries, six with inscriptions, including one reading ‘Yeshua bar Yehosef,’ which translates to ‘Jesus, son of Joseph.’ 

‘There used to be seven vaults, but they have since been condensed into two. 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,’ Hogan said.

Hogan, who serves as Grand Master of a modern Templar order, also said that the Vatican is aware of these vaults—and even attempted to break into one several years ago. 

‘One vault, located in Istanbul, is believed to be a former Templar vault,’ he continued.

‘It contains a box similar to those found in the sacred container, and it’s buried underground along with specific artifacts.

‘The order had protected this vault for a long time, but it is now under the care of Turkish Antiquities, who are fully aware of its significance and keep the order updated.’

While the Vatican is allegedly aware of multiple vaults, Hogan claims it does not know the location of the two hidden in the US 

He warned that if the Vatican ever gained access, the relics ‘would disappear,’ as they challenge the foundational Christian teaching of Jesus’ physical resurrection. 

‘If these had been turned over to the Pope, they would have been made to vanish,’ he insisted. 

As for verifying the remains, Hogan admitted they haven’t yet been tested—but said the order hopes to carry out DNA analysis in the near future as part of a broader effort to substantiate their claims.

When asked how they would confirm the identity of the bones, Hogan was cautious.

‘This is sensitive information,’ he said. 

‘But as I understand it, certain fragments recently recovered from the Talpiot Tomb could be used to make a match, assuming everything lines up with our historical records and ship logs.’

He said the order believes in reincarnation and interprets resurrection as a spiritual awakening, not necessarily a physical rising from the dead.

He pointed to a New Testament passage where Jesus’ disciples refer to John the Baptist as the return of the prophet Elijah, interpreting it as biblical support for reincarnation.

‘It’s right there in the New Testament,’ Hogan said. ‘The resurrection was an anastasis, an awakening to gnosis, not a bodily resurrection. 

‘Being ‘born again’ means literally being reincarnated.’

Hogan also presented a highly unorthodox account of Jesus’ family life.

He claimed that Mary Magdalene, a wealthy woman and patron of John the Baptist, first married John and had children with him.

According to Hogan, after John was executed, Mary lawfully re-married his cousin, Jesus, as was customary in that era. 

The couple allegedly had children, whose remains now lie alongside theirs in the vaults. 

The traditional biblical view, however, portrays Mary Magdalene as a devoted follower of Jesus who witnessed his crucifixion and was the first to see him after the resurrection. 

John the Baptist is described as a fiery prophet who baptized Jesus in the Jordan River before being executed by Herod Antipas.

Mainstream historians and theologians do not support the idea of Jesus being married or having children, and there is no verified archaeological or genetic evidence to back Hogan’s claims.
