Such claims may or may not withstand scientific scrutiny. But they are worth exploring.

And just why is it worth exploring?

Fascination with this kind of nonsense just takes our attention away from out true status in Christ.

Christ’s kingdom is not of this world. These people sound like there’s some relevance to the physical bloodline of Christ, I don’t believe for a second there is.

So, I guess my comment is - “What’s the point?”

Yes, they didn't mention "cousin" Elizabeth and John the Baptist (I don't think). But John undoubtedly died without children, and Elizabeth being so old probably didn't have any more (I'm working from memory).

Still there might be collateral bloodline from that couple.

Apart from the fascination of it, the posters are correct that it doesn't matter because whether related by blood or not, all are saved through Christ.
