"If you can only buy one book on Rennes-le-Château this should be it"
"In his 1972 documentary , The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem...?, Henry Lincoln showed the first glimpses of the extraordinary phenomenon hidden behind the Mystery of Rennes-le-Château - the tiny village perched on a mountain top in the foothills of the Pyrenees - and the sudden and unexplained wealth of its flamboyant priest, Bérenger Saunière. It was a story that ignited the world's imagination and the book that followed, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail , became an instant best seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Now in Key to the Sacred Pattern : The Untold Story of Rennes-le-Château he sets down, for the first time, the dramatic story of his thirty years of delving into one of the strangest mysteries of modern times - taking the reader with him to experience the excitements and frustrations of the chase - and enabling us to sense the slow strengthening of the solid facts out of the mass of maybes. In this highly entertaining book, he overcomes obstacles through threats, 'mystic' detours, frauds, fantasies and farce, fake treasures and even violence, to show how the proofs finally lead to an astonishing revelation. Key to the Sacred Pattern takes us further into the hidden byways marked out by our ancestors and sets it upon provable and demonstrable foundations. The boundaries of the original riddle of Rennes-le-Château are extended, from the Pyrenees to Britanny, and the Baltic Sea. Our ancestors were not, as we thought, primitive and unenlightened but far more gifted than we have even imagined. Here is the lifting of the veil on a mysterious and dramatic legacy." |
