After the death of Jesus, Christianity exploded onto the world. Few would have guessed in our day that most of the 'Smoking Guns' came from ancient Britannia. For example twenty seven years after the death of Jesus the spear that lanced the side of Jesus was carried into battle by the rich British Queen Bodicea in defense of the 'Hides of Glastonbury,' a gift given by her rich uncle Aviragus to the Biblical Joseph of Arimathea. Nineteen years after the death of Jesus the rich Christian British King Caradoc, or Caractacus, was held hostage in his home, the Paladicum Britanicum, across the street from what is now the Vatican, by Caesar Claudius. This ancient palace of Prudentia, the cousin of Bodicea, survives today facing the Vatican. The year Nero burnt Rome to the ground Bodicea burnt the thriving city of London to the ground. Historians say in our day that Nero blamed the burning of Rome on an obscure sect from the Roman Eastern Province. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Christian Bodicea slaughtered 40,000 Roman soldiers in that Battle. Two years later she became the only general in history whose death on the battle field so affected both sides that all the soldiers sheathed their weapons and went home. This story, filled with enigma, finally makes sense when we take into account all the artifacts, documents and buildings which survive in our day to tell the tale. The apostles Paul, Peter, Phillip and others lived with the Britains in their home in Rome as they launched Christianity onto the world. The personalities that played a role in this saga exceed any Playbill ever written. This story survives in the histories of famous kings, ceasars, dictators, martyrs and villains to this day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Glenn and Chase Kimball Executive Producer John Fassett Produced by Robert Karp Narrated by Glenn Kimball Music by Steve Millet
