Um, you forgot the account by Josephus, as well as a few early letters by Roman officials which show Christian communities to have existed shortly after Jesus' death.

There are also documents that refer to someone claiming to be the song of God written to Roman officials from Jewish officials(I dont remember their exact titles). They dont use the name Jesus in them, but it is a reference.
There is another book called Holy Bloodlines, Holy Grail (or something to that extent) that is about the same thing execpt its a documentary type book where the author finds evidence first hand. He was the guy that sued Dan Brown for taking his "theory," which has actually been around for a long time.
As for the novel DaVinci Code being fact, its not. Its a fiction book and Dan Brown has said that on numerous occasions. I heard him give a lecture shortly after the book became widespread where he said to read the book as you would any piece of literature. He also said to enjoy the book, not analyze it.
My personal view is that Jesus was a "real" man with real male tendencies. I dont think its unusual for him to have had a girlfriend/wife or even a kid. I think he would have been discredited by his own followers had he not done the social norm for a man. I think its the fact he was doing socially acceptable things while disagreeing with morally acceptable ideas (at that time). Also, if you read the dead sea scrolls, two books refer to him having a love interest and both refer to Peter or Paul (I cant remember which) being upset because Marry got more attention from Christ than anyone else. There is also a book written by Marry Mag about christ and his teachings which also has accounts of their relationship.
To me, there is plenty of historical evidence to support the idea that he had a gf/wife and enough to assume he may have had a kid. As for the DaVinci Code itself, dont take everything at face value because it is a novel.

If I recall correctly, Pliny the Younger wrote about Jesus as well. Not really sure though.

If anyone has been watching the history channel for the past 2-3 months it has been flooded with shows about it. Everyone shows more and more that it is fake. These are the co-author of holy blood holy grail 's exact words "Could it happend? Yes. Do we believe it happend? No"

Heard the movie sucks balls, seriously, from every single critic across the board.
It's sad too, everyone had high hopes for the movie.

What does that prove? It says that it is believed that the Priory de Sion was a large hoax, take it up with Dan Brown, he was the one that wrote at the beginning of the Da Vinci code the "fact" about the Priory de Sion.
