Best Answer
The Priory of Scion existed, but it was not some great organization made to protect the holy grail. It existed, but everything else about it in the movie is false. It was founded in France in the 1950s by a frenchman named Plantard. He created the fake history about it being from Jerusalem around like 1050. He admitted himself on camera that it was false, and that he had made it up to align his family with the Merovingian kings, and with perhaps a hope that it would put him in line for the throne. It was all a hoax.

Totally made up fiction, invented by folks who had problems with Jews being allowed to live in any kind of comfort or peace. Pitiful souls.
