Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the definitive work on rennes-le-château and the priory of sion by the only man who has had access to all the major players, places and papers, containing copies of key documents such as stone and paper (pierre et papier), and vital information gleaned from his contact with the propagators of the priory of sion - pierre plantard, phillipe de cherisey and gérard de sède.
Is the priory of sion a thousand year old secret society dedicated to the protection of a two thousand year old 'heretical' bloodline descended from the founder of christianity?
Or is the priory of sion a modern invention, whose true purpose and goal has yet to be fully revealed?
This first book in the series will examine the priory of sion and its membership during the crucial 1950s period. This was a period of intense political upheaval in france and europe, when the forces of conservatism and the forces of modernism clashed in a desperate battle to control the soul of france.
At the heart of the story of the priory of sion is the somewhat heretical notion that jesus christ - the supposed son of god - fathered children. Not only that but that his bloodline survives to this day. If true, the idea has a huge impact on the very existence of christianity, the world's most popular religion.
