"The Mysteries of Rennes-le-Château" is the new thrilling book by Henry Lincoln, author of the best-seller "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" - which served as inspiration and information for the international best-seller "The Da Vinci Code". The enigma surrounding the small village at the foothills of the Pyrenees involves a legendary - but cursed - treasure, the discovery of which challenged many traditional Christian beliefs and introduced the heretical possibility of a lineage of descendants of Jesus! A captivating story that takes us far back, to the Crusades and the emergence of the Knights Templar with their formidable secrets. After many years of on-site research, decoding, and analysis of parchments, tombstones, churches, and paintings, Lincoln reveals the existence of a vast "geometric temple", invisible to all but a few initiates, which is most likely connected to the Holy Grail. The book contains more than a hundred diagrams, photographs, and symbols related to Rennes-le-Château, the parchments that gave the initial impetus for the treasure's discovery, as well as the geometric keys on which the revelation of the great secret is based.
