    A documentary about the discovering of the historical Christ A documentary by Jan van Friesland The Gospel of Caesar - discovering the historical Christ-, a documentary film by Dutch Public Broadcast VARA-TELEVISION and director Jan van Friesland. http://www.vanfries landfilm.nl http://www.carotta.de Following the tracks of two investigators on their quest for the historical Jesus this enthralling documentary about the life, death and apotheosis of ‘the greatest of mortals’ unravels the hidden origin of Christianity. Francesco Carotta, an Italian linguist, philosopher and engineer, discovered that the story of Jesus Christ is based on the life of Caesar. (Carotta, F. (1999) War Jesus Caesar? Munich.) Carotta: ‘Everything in the story of Jesus can be found in the biography of Caesar. The Gospel appears to be the history of the Roman Civil War, a ‘mis-telling’ of the life of Caesar – from the Rubicon to his assassination – mutated into the narrative of Jesus, from the Jordan to his crucifixion. Jesus is a true historical figure, he lived as Gaius Julius Caesar, and resurrected as Divus Julius, later transformed into Jesus.’ Inspired by Carotta’s publication in order to verify this hypothesis, together with Pedro García González, a Spanish priest, they investigated Roman traces of the passion in the Semana Santa, the Holy Week, and compared it with the reconstruction of the funeral of Caesar, according to the ancient sources, which lead to fragments of an earlier passion about the betrayal, death and ‘crucifixion’ of Caesar. García González: ‘The death and deification of Caesar is the essence and origin of Christianity, which happened on the Forum Romanum in Rome.’ Scholars speak of a paradigm shift with respect to the history of Chris- tianity: ‘This is a shift of paradigm in the history of religion.’ - Fotis A. Kavoukopoulos, Ph. D. ‘The author draws parallels between the founder of religion Jesus and Julius Caesar, the Roman emperor, whose name was given to all succeeding emperors.’ - Erika Simon, Ph.D. ‘This report is of the same order of importance as the scientific discoveries of Darwin and Galileo... Carotta’s discovery will turn the entire history of civilization upside down.’ - Paul Cliteur, Ph.D. ‘I try to explain this theory to my pupils at the gymnasium and give arguments for its plausibility and they react very enthousiastic.’ - Gerard Janssen, MA ‘As a work hypothesis it is very important, especially because it fills a gap, what, from the point of view of the investigation, heuristic, was never made.’ - Francisco Rodríguez Pascual, Ph.D. For more than four years the documentary maker accompanied the two investigators, the linguist and the priest, on their combined search for traces of the historical Jesus in several locations in Europe, among others Cyprus, Athens, Rome: Saint Peter and the Forum Romanum, London: British Museum, Madrid: Escorial, Utrecht: Geldmuseum, Rascrafría, Segovia en Bercianos de Aliste (Spain), Oberried and Kirchzarten (Southern Germany), Colmar (France), Leeuwarden: Piter Jelles Gymnasium. Van Friesland filmed in churches and monasteries, at scientific congresses and in Holy Masses. He recorded a reconstruction of the historical funeral of Caesar, which resembles the crucifixion story of Jesus, in a Spanish village. Carotta, García González and residents from a Spanish village performed on the basis of texts about Caesar’s death and funeral.

    THE GOSPEL OF CAESAR

    Discovering the Historical Christ

    A documentary by Jan van Friesland


    http://www.vanfrieslandfilm.nl

    Short synopsis
    The Gospel of Caesar documents the revolutionary and fascinating research of the
    Italian linguist Francesco Carotta, who concluded after a decade-long
    investigation that the Gospel narrative of the New Testament completely originated
    from the ancient sources on the life of Julius Caesar. Intrigued by the discovery
    that Caesar could be the historical Christ, the Spanish priest Pedro García
    González joins him on his journey all across Europe to search for traces of the
    deified Caesar in old Christian rituals and traditions, written sources, church
    art and archaeological finds. Along the way they meet other priests and
    scientists. They encounter skepticism and enthusiasm, criticism and approval, but
    every step of the way takes them further toward the obscure origins of early
    Christianity. To verify the theory they reconstruct the pivotal funeral ceremony
    of Caesar, which could have been the historical incident behind the later story of
    the crucifixion of Christ. They resuscitate this ancient historical event with
    young people from the priest’s parish and reveal the image of the first Savior on
    the Cross, who had been forgotten for almost 2000 years.
