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.

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

Softcover. Condition: Good. Revised. Since 1890 the mysterious hoard of gold supposedly discovered by the impoverished parish priest of Rennes-le-Chateau has baffled first his parishioners and later the wider public. Fuelled by ever more fantastic rumours, this mystery has never before been thoroughly investigated and credibly solved. Did Berenger Sauniere find a fabulous treasure in his church at Rennes-le-Chateau which enabled him to rebuild the church and create for himself a luxurious estate? Was it the treasure stolen from the Temple in Jerusalem when the Romans sacked the city in AD 70? Or was it simply knowledge of a secret that brought fabulous rewards to the priest for keeping his silence?Bill Putnam and John Edwin Wood reveal the true source of Sauniere's wealth and unravel the astounding hoax that has so confused the trail. The hoax is one of the most elaborate ever perpetrated and has grown to include false genealogies and international conspiracies. Was one of these the mysterious Priory of Sion, which closely guarded a secret for 2,000 years? A historical detective story, The Treasure of Rennes-le-Chateau: A Mystery Solved will captivate those interested in mystery, conspiracy and archaeology. Seller Inventory # SONG0750942169
