I find this highly unlikely. We're not talking modern times, most people didnt live untill they were 80-100 in biblical times. Life expetancy back then must have been something around 40 years tops for someone like the apostles.
And one of these apostles actually traced Jesus' bloodline back to king David/Davis and the grandfather (Josef? moses? dont remember) for all the jews. Allthough i doubt these researches were accurate or done in such a manner that they could be called proof of him beeing messiah.
As for the whole thing, Jesus lived, and he died. Lets leave it at that. Any attempt at diving deeper into the whole issue i find destructive, and its probably best to forget all about him and the cruelties he brought into the world.
