The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln

At Rennes le Chateau, a tiny village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Berenger Saunière - a nineteenth century french priest - discovered something which enabled him to amass and spend a huge fortune.

This is a historical detective story and Grail Quest which explores coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, 12th and 13th century Cathar heretics and a dynasty of French kings who were deposed 1,300 years ago.

The authors conclude that Saunière's discovery concerned not material riches but a secret - an explosive and controversial secret, which affects the whole of western civilization, its influence including current politics and the Christian faith - the Holy Grail.

The authors researched history and the Bible, to try to understand how Saunière had became so fantastically and unexpectedly wealthy, and so obsessed with alchemy and heretical arts.

They considered the Templars, the crusades and the possibility that the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem may be hidden in the area. in doing so they discovered that it is possible that Jesus Christ lived after the crucifixion and that his line survived, with a secret society associated with it.

This book challenges you to reconsider the possibilities concerning the truch about Mary Magdaline and the Roman Catholic church which some believe to have taken our away our spirituallityin order to control much of the world for many centuries.

Indeed Laurence Gardener, in his work "Bloodline of the Holiy Grail" states that the bloodline survives in the Royal Stewart family.

Many believe that the conclusions of this book are valid.
