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.

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.
