Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus (2012)

Plot

Exploring the provocative theories of Joseph Atwill, this documentary challenges the conventional view of Jesus as a historical figure. It posits that the narratives surrounding his life were actually derived from a Roman military campaign, and that his foretold return pertains to past events. The film claims the Gospels were crafted by a lineage of Caesars, supported by documents they left behind. Alongside Atwill, several contentious biblical scholars discuss how Christ’s teachings were rooted in ancient pagan mystery traditions, suggesting that Christianity has long served as a mechanism for societal control, a practice that persists to this day.
