Pat Jokel：致力于寻找抹大拉的马利亚遗骸20余年，坚信其遗骸埋藏于法国南部，并通过对13世纪文献及考古手段寻找证据。他认为圣马西曼教堂的遗骸是伪造的，真正的遗骸被转移到了佩桑的教堂。他运用现代科技手段，如磁力仪扫描，试图找到隐藏在地下的墓穴。 Tony McMahon：作为历史学家，他强调抹大拉的马利亚作为耶稣复活首位见证人的重要性，认为其在基督教中的地位被低估。他认为寻找其遗骸具有重大的历史意义，可以证明圣经的真实性。同时，他也参与了对抹大拉的马利亚与耶稣关系以及其后代传说的探讨。 Dr Karen Bellinger：作为考古学家和历史学家，她对圣马西曼发现的头骨是否为抹大拉的马利亚的遗骸表示怀疑，认为需要更多科学证据来证明。她指出，在中世纪移动圣徒遗骸是普遍现象，因此Pat Jokel的理论并非完全没有可能。 Lynn Picknett：她认为早期教会为了维护自身权力，贬低了抹大拉的马利亚的地位，将其塑造成妓女形象。她通过研究诺斯替福音书等文献，试图还原抹大拉的马利亚的真实形象，认为她在早期基督教中扮演着重要的角色。 Father Florian Racine：作为圣马西曼教堂的主持人，他坚信教堂内保存着抹大拉的马利亚的头骨，并认为其具有神圣的意义。他认为头骨上残留的一块皮肤是耶稣触摸过的证据。 Janine Harony：她认为在#MeToo时代，应该重新审视抹大拉的马利亚在圣经故事中的地位，将其摆在应有的位置。 旁白：本节目讲述了Pat Jokel及其团队寻找抹大拉的马利亚遗骸的故事，穿插了历史学家、考古学家等专家的观点，探讨了抹大拉的马利亚的历史地位、与耶稣的关系、遗骸的寻找过程以及相关的争议。

According to all four gospels, Jesus chose one person as the first witness of his resurrection. One person, who was entrusted with spreading this momentous news; a follower whose life is still shrouded by conspiracy, the mysterious Mary Magdalene.  

2000 years on, Mary continues to be one of the churches most disputed subjects. Some believe she was a prostitute; many claim she was Jesus’s most devoted disciple and was at the heart of the Christian faith. However, some suggest she was much more.   

In Southern France two treasure hunters are pursuing a new lead in their search for her remains, arguably the remains of the most significant woman in history.   

Pat Jokl and his friend Ronnie are history enthusiasts who have spent 20 years trying to uncover the whereabouts of Mary Magdalene’s Tomb. After the resurrection, the Bible sheds little light on what happened to her next with many believing she was deliberately written out of history. In this episode we follow Pat Jokl and his team on their biblical treasure hunt, tracing what many believe to be the journey Mary Magdalene took after the resurrection to spread the true word of the Christian faith.  

With an unearthed set of 13th century documents from the French archive suggesting a medieval aristocrat stole the Saint’s remains, Pat believes he’s one step closer to finding Mary Magdalene’s burial site in Southern France. Armed with new equipment and this vital lead could this be moment he solves one of the bible’s greatest mysteries? Could this be the moment he finally finds Mary Magdalene?
