Of lost treasures and unsolved secrets...
The Tale of the Holy Grail by Kyot and Chrétien de Troyes...
Or... How a legend became the truth and truth was turned into a legend...
My book deals with the story of Rennes-le-Château and some enigmatic priests, the long lost treasure of Solomon's Temple and a hidden treasure of the Knights Templar...
Who has not heard of Abbé Bérenger Saunière, at one time priest in a small hamlet in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the South of France..?
Numerous books, many documentaries and recently the bestselling novel "The Da Vinci Code", whetted the appetite of interested...
BUT... Did all these exposures even graze the truth..?
- What is Truth..?
Secret knowledge or a Freemason's secret..? OR simply a hoard of gold..?
- According to popular account:
After a long and extremely difficult decodation, he came to the conclusion, that two paintings held the key to solve an ancient enigma and retrace an extremely valuable treasure..!
Theme of both paintings: "Pas de Tentation" (No Temptation), one made by Nicolas Poussin and the other by David Teniers (the younger).
And it seems he struck it rich, as this humble hamlet priest became extremely wealthy..!
He bought grounds, built a Villa (Villa Béthanie) and a Tower "Tour Magdala", laid out gardens and enjoyed the pleasures of life, drinking a good glass of wine and smoking many an expensive cigar...
It is thought that in the decorations of the church as well as in his gardens, he left indications for the initiated to retrace "his" treasure, so his knowledge would not be lost...
WHAT is the truth behind these stories, that grew bigger and taller with the passage of time, untill all of a sudden this tendency changed and the Rennes-le-Château-Mystery was presented as a crude fraud.
Be it as may, we believe in the original history but, then... How to convert the hidden messages left for the initiated into understandable indications..?
Well, what Saunière once could, we can do as well... Thus we started our own investigation...
We found that flamboyant Saunière was more than a simple country-priest, he was called to execute a "Grand Oeuvre", a "Great Work" (for those who understand these words).
His friend and fellow-priest Henri Boudet, who was in fact, the driving force behind this set up, always kept in the shadows.
However Abbé Boudet, wrote a rather strange book, in which so is said, he hid "between the lines" additional secret information...
Abbé Saunière was acquainted with Emma Calvé (a famous cantatrice in those days), as she regularly visited the neighbouring Spa-town Rennes-les-Bains. And, through her, with Papus, Grandmaster of the secret Order Memphis-Misraïm.
This acquaintance proved to be very important... Some rumors say, Emma was his mistress, but we think that is nothing but slander..!
In our opinion, she was the medium or rather an intermediary between the Order of Papus and the Priests Boudet and Saunière...
In order to come to grips with the mystery we studied the "History of France and the Church", the "Order of the Templar Knights" and the "Secret Orders", that existed in the days of Nicolas Poussin... We even discovered who this "Dagobert", mentioned in the coded parchments, really was...
We deduced, that the key to solve the enigma as well as the one that opens doors into a hidden world is: Symbolism...
Back to Saunière... Indeed he left important information...
His hiding method is comparable with the manner information was dissimulated in the painting of the "Arcadian Shepherds" by Poussin and the mode Abbé Henri Boudet used in his enigmatic book.
All these indications lead to the planning of a "Hypaethral Temple" or "Secret Temple" in the Languedoc...
The dualistic sense, an universal language, yet only understood by the initiated...
Remember, even the first Christians used secret signs to make themselves known to their brothers...
In the images of his church, dedicated to the Holy Mary Magdalene in Rennes-le-Château, valuable clues were hidden...
All these indications lead to a very precious treasure, as well as to a certain location in the fields surrounding Rennes-le-Château...
They all employed the same code: "Secret signs"... Or, in other words, the Symbolic Language, the way of communicating and of recognition so well known in Freemasonry.
We found the key to answer some of the questions, like: ...Is the Holy Grail involved... Or the Ark of the Covenant... Maybe the True Teachings of Jesus... What is de role of Secret Brotherhoods..?
For those interested in the truth behind the "Rennes-le-Château-Affair", we offer our profound research of many years, available in bookform on CD-ROM (470 pages, with many photos, pictures and maps) entitled: The Mystery of Rennes-le-Château.
In our view... The roots of the Rennes-le-Château-enigma, lie in the epoch of the first Crusades, the days of the founding of the Order of the Knights Templar and in some Hebrew bookscrolls found in the Holy Land.
Furthermore we discuss the TRUE reason for the downfall of the Order of the Temple and how it survived "underground"...
We deal with the painters Poussin and Teniers and the symbolic keys they dissimulated in their masterpieces...
We treat initiation-rites, with their secret languages and hidden meanings...
In short: our research goes way beyond the limits of the Rennes-le-Château mystery...
We describe the plans of the "Inner Circle of the Knights Templar" to found a "New Temple".
We discovered that the enigmatic "Horse of God" is a truly existing rock-formation, shaped depending on the observation-angle as a closed gate, a tower, a temple or the chesspiece called the "KNIGHT"...
And, this very Knight will be our guide through Darkness into the Light...
If you are interested to read the "Solution to the enigma of Rennes-le-Château" in bookform instead of on CD-Rom, it is now available as book from a.o. "Amazon".
