Holy Blood, Holy Grail: The Secret History of Christ & The Shocking Legacy of the Grail
Bestselling author Henry Lincoln reveals the groundbreaking secrets of one of the most sacred places on earth.
From the coauthor of Holy Blood, Holy Grailâ€â€a basis for The Da Vinci Codeâ€â€comes a deeper exploration of the secrets of Rennes-le-Château. 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-Château, a small town in France where, in the late nineteenth century, Bérenger Saunière’s discovery of a series of parchments led in turn to a large but cursed treasure that challenged many traditional Christian beliefsâ€â€including 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-Château. Dan Brown’s international bestseller The Da Vinci Codeâ€â€based on Holy Blood, Holy Grailâ€â€reignited 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 masterpieceâ€â€a holy place of enormous size and importance.
