The Holy Place
SauniĂšre and the Decoding of the Mystery of Rennes-le-ChĂąteau
Henry Lincoln
Ă propos de ce livre
From the coauthor of Holy Blood, Holy Grail âa basis for The Da Vinci Code âcomes a deeper exploration of the secrets of Rennes-le-ChĂąteau. In 1982, Henry Lincoln, along with colleagues Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, published Holy Blood, Holy Grail, which became an immediate international bestseller. It investigated Rennes-le-ChĂąteau, a small town in France where, in the late nineteenth century, BĂ©renger SauniĂšre's discovery of a series of parchments led in turn to a large but cursed treasure that challenged many traditional Christian beliefsâincluding the possibility that Jesus's bloodline still exists.
The treasure's story moved back through history to the Crusades, the origins of the Knights Templar, and the Virgin Birth itself. While Baigent and Leigh have moved on to different subjects, Lincoln has continued to pursue the mysteries of Rennes-le-ChĂąteau. Dan Brown's international bestseller The Da Vinci Code âbased on Holy Blood, Holy Grail âreignited curiosity about this ancient, powerful town. In The Holy Place, Lincoln reveals through further surveys, decoding, and analysis that this area in southwest France is the site of a vast megalithic Christian masterpieceâa holy place of enormous size and importance.
