[edit] Problem with birth and death dates

The text cites 515 and 573 has approx. birth and death dates; then in the next sentence says she may have been born between 500 and 510 and died between 580 and 590; so which is it? is there a source for the more precise dates? --FeanorStar7 10:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

The reason that Bernstein did not use DNA from a Merovingian descendent was because the program he was featured in was created during the Dan Brown "The Da Vinci Code" controversy. It was obvious to educated viewers that the program was one of many created at that time to discourage any real connection between the fiction of Dan Brown and more serious theories of Merovingian and Hebrew/Davidian connection through a possible descendant of a historically possible marriage between Mary Magdalene and Jesus of Nazareth (Josua ben Joseph).
