Amazon Prime documentary 'Bible Conspiracies' claims Jesus Christ was actually the Greek philosopher Apollonius

'Bible Conspiracies' points to how there is more physical evidence of Apollonius' existence to claim that he is the 'son of god' mentioned in the New Testament, not Jesus Christ

A controversial new documentary from Amazon Prime has made the bombshell claim that Jesus Christ was not the 'son of god' and was, in fact, confused with a Greek philosopher who lived at around the same time.

According to the Daily Mail, these claims, amongst others, were made in 'Bible Conspiracies'. The documentary suggests that the descriptions of Jesus' life and the miracles he performed in the New Testament were possibly mistaken for the deeds of Preacher Apollonius of Tyana who was born at around the same time as Jesus in the 3rd or 4th year BC in Central Anatolia, which is now in Turkey.
