The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail

<p>A nineteenth century French priest discovers something in his mountain village at the foot of The Pyrenees which enables him to amass and spend a fortune of millions of pounds. The tale seems to begin with buried treasure and then turns into an unprecedented historical detective story - a modern Grail quest leading back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1,300 years ago. The author's conclusions are persuasive: at the core is not material riches but a secret - a secret of explosive and controversial proportions, which radiates out from the little Pyrenees village all the way to contemporary politics and the entire edifice of the Christian faith. It involves nothing less than... the Holy Grail.</p>

Holy Blood, Holy Grail

Random House Audio Publishing Group

In 1970, Henry Lincoln came upon the enigma that surrounds the small village of Rennes-le-Chateau, set in the foothills of the Pyrenees. "The Holy Place" is a natural and perfect pentacle of mountain peaks surrounded by a titanic, man-made temple. The author had to decode the most cryptic of clues that have dispersed down the centuries in paintings and parchments, on tombstones and in churches. It has now been revealed as an immense geometric temple, stretching for miles across the landscape, a constellation of pentacles, circles and hexagons. The complexity of its engineering far exceeds that of the pyramids of Egypt and led the author to question just how it could have been built. Using evidence in measure-mapping and surveying, the author demonstrates that the basic measurements for this amazing structure has a precise mathematical basis and is not the result of arbitrary calculations. Henry Lincoln is the co-author of "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" and is the presentor of BBC TV's "Chronicle" programmes.
