This is the untold story of Mary Magdalene and it is possible to tell it now because new evidence has been uncovered, which sheds a completely different light on the role she played at the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb on that first Easter morning. There was always a major conflict between the gospels in reporting the events at the tomb but the ambiguity could be summed up into one question and it related to John’s gospel as follows:
How could Mary Magdalene see two angels sitting in the tomb on the morning of the resurrection while Peter could only see the folded linen clothes?
The answer is equally intriguing because the new evidence shows that the gospel writers had applied an image of the holy tabernacle of Moses as a motif to explain the mystical transition of Jesus between heaven and earth with the resurrection. Those writers wrote the gospels some thirty to seventy years after the resurrection and they had a purpose for using the holy tabernacle as an image for the tomb. It enabled the writers to secretly convey that Mary Magdalene was a High Priestess and therefore stood in rank above Peter. Mary Magdalene was destined to be the first Pope.
