The show exposes the world’s enduring conspiracy theories to a series of scientific tests.
Discovery Channel brand director Raja Balasubramanian said, “Discovery exposes shocking story and leaves it on viewers if they want to believe it or decides not to, but is it true? Conspiracies on Trial will answer all the questions which many scientists and historians have been working on, once and for all.
“Conspiracies on Trial will use all the historical in art, historical analyses, Biblical exegeses, symbology, genealogy and even cryptography to test the four main premises of this theory to crack the code – Da Vinci Code.”
Too many questions… did Jesus Christ have a child with Mary Magdalene? Did Leonardo encode this secret in his paintings? Do Christ’s descendants walk among us? And does the Holy Grail exist? It’s time to reveal the facts behind the fiction, time to crack the code.
