Synopsis

It is said that, Berenger Sauniere, priest of the village Rennes-le-Chateau, was guarding a secret about Jesus Christ. The Priory of Sion, an organisation apparently founded in the 12th century, is said to lie behind the tale. This book publishes a study of the village, and reveals the source of Sauniere's wealth and nature of the Priory of Sion.

About this title

From the Publisher:

A fascinating and highly readable historical detective story, The Treasure of Rennes-le-Château, will captivate those interested in mystery, conspiracy and archaeology.

From the Author:

The claims for the story of Rennes-le-Château are so astounding that it is essential to test the strength of their foundations. This is what we have attempted to do. One of us is a professional archaeologist, the other studied physics. We have tried to look at the evidence in the same way that we would approach a problem in our own specialist fields, not with the intention of supporting or rebutting any particular theory, but asking what information is reliable and what seems suspect. We do come to some conclusions about the story, and although our findings are less sensational than some others that have been published, they are quite surprising nevertheless.
