A bizarre Amazon Prime documentary is claiming the true son of God was a Greek philospher.

Bible Conspiracies, which has been given 2.5 stars and is free to watch for members of the paid-for subscription service, was made in 2016.

The 67-minute show says: "Hidden in the Bible are ancient secrets.

"The marriage of Jesus and Mary and their children; the destruction of the tower of Babel by an alien race called the Anunnaki, and the hidden code that holds the revelation about future events."

One of the claims is that Jesus has been confused with a Greek philosopher who lived at the same time.

Stories shared in the Bible about Jesus' life, and the miracles he performed in the New Testament, may have been mistaken for Preacher Apollonius of Tyan.

The series claims Apollonius became famous, building a religious following as he preached and performed miracles.

It says: “There is, in fact, a man who can be found in text outside of the Bible after the church failed to eradicate him from history.

“His name is Apollonius and he was born in the 3rd or 4th year BC in Tyana in Cappadocia, Anatolia.

“He became a disciple of Pythagoras renouncing flesh, wine and women.

"He wore no shoes and let his hair and beard grow long.

"He reportedly restored life to the dead and spoke of things beyond the human reach.

"And, unlike Jesus, there is evidence to prove that Apollonius actually existed."

More than half of all the customers to review the show gave it one star, the lowest possible.
