Here is a book that answers the inexplicable disappearance of all mention of Moses's descendants from the Bible and which reveals the key role played by Josephus Flavius in shaping early Christianity A radical re-examination of Western history suggests that descendants of Moses were the architects of the rise of the Roman Church and the ancestors of European aristocracy. The book also explains the connection of this secret priesthood to modern secret societies like the Freemasons. After the book of Exodus, Moses's two sons and numerous descendants all vanish from the Bible. Barbiero's investigation and his study of the centuries-long power struggle between the priestly families fighting for control of the Temple of Jerusalem starts with the rebellion against Rome - and the emergence of Josephus Flavius, one of Moses's descendants on the world stage. In AD 70 when the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus Flavius and thousands of Jewish priests were exterminated, Josephus, now bearing his sponsor's last name, followed Titus Flavius to Rome with at least 250 relatives and friends. Here they were made Roman citizens but then subsequently disappeared from recorded history. From fields as disparate as archaeology, heraldry and genetics, Barbiero shows how these descendants used the cult of Mithras to eventually seize control of the secular Roman authority as well. He then follows step-by-step the spread of the members of this secret priestly elite into what was to become the aristocracy of medieval Europe. 468pp in large softback, 24 pages of colour and archive plates of unusual images. Chapters cover Censorship, the Books of Joshua and Judges, the Heads of Israel, the Takeover of the Imperial Office, and the Priestly Family in Great Britain among them.
