It was our research into that fascinating but elusive Renaissance genius and his part in faking the Turin Shroud that developed into a much wider and more involving investigation into the ‘heresies’ that had secretly driven his ambitions. We had to find out what he was part of, what he knew and believed, and why he had employed certain codes and symbols in the work he left for posterity. So—although we are aware that this is a mixed blessing—we have Leonardo to thank for the discoveries that have become this book. 3 von 269 25.10.2006 10:11 The Templar Revelation file:///F:/F_E_R_T_I_G/Ablage/Picknett,%20Lynn%20-%20The%2... It seemed strange at first to find ourselves drawn into the complex and often murky world of secret societies and heterodox beliefs. After all, Leonardo is commonly supposed to have been an atheist and a rationalist. But we were to find that he was no such thing. Very soon, in any case, we had left him behind and found ourselves alone with some profoundly disturbing implications. What had started as a modest enquiry into some interesting but hardly world-shattering cults had become an investigation into the very roots and beliefs of Christianity itself. It was essentially a journey through time and space: first forward from Leonardo to the present day, then backwards beyond the Renaissance, through the Middle Ages to first-century Palestine, to the scene set by the words and deeds of our three main Protagonists—John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Along the way we had to pause and examine many groups and secret organizations with a totally new and objective eye: the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, the Cathars, the Priory of Sion, the Essenes and the cult of Isis and Osiris. Of course these subjects have been discussed in many other recent books, notablyThe Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln—which was originally a particular inspiration to both of us—The Sign and the Sealby Graham Hancock,The Temple and the Lodge by Baigent and Leigh, and most recently,The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas. We owe a debt of gratitude to all these writers for the light they have shed on our shared areas of investigation, but we believe that all of them have failed to find the essential key to the heart of these mysteries. This is hardly surprising. Our entire culture is based on certain assumptions about the past, and in particular about Christianity and the character and motives of its founder. But if those assumptions arewrong , then the conclusions based on them will stop very short of the truth, or will at least present a distorted picture of the facts. When we first confronted the disturbing conclusions that we set out in this book we had to believe we were mistaken. But there came a point when we had to make a decision: should we carry on with our investigation and make our conclusions public, or forget we had ever made those crucial discoveries? We decided to go ahead; after all, this book seems to follow on naturally from those listed above as if its time has truly come. In tracing the beliefs held by thousands of ‘heretics’ over the centuries we have uncovered a remarkably consistent picture. Underneath the traditions of many apparently disparate groups there lie the same—or very similar—secrets. At first we thought that these societies were secret out of mere custom, or perhaps affectation—but now we understand why they needed to keep their knowledge away from the authorities, and especially from the Church. The main question, however, is not what they believed, but whether or not those beliefs were based on anything substantial. For if they were, and if the heretical under ground really did hold the missing key to Christianity, then what we are left with is a truly revolutionary scenario.

Intérêt Cet aménagement créerait une « transversale » reliant des Monts d’Alaric à la Montagne Noire, et croisant le canal du Midi et la Véloroute « Le canal des Deux Mers à vélo », et aurait un grand potentiel de fréquentation. Elle favoriserait à la fois les déplacements quotidiens des habitants (surtout entre Rieux et Peyriac), les déplacements de loisir des habitants, et les balades des touristes cyclo-randonneurs et randonneurs pédestres et équestres. Etant de grande qualité (80% en Voie verte) elle serait très fréquentée. Faisabilité Ce projet est réalisable car : 1- Le Département est propriétaire d’une grande partie de l’emprise de la voie ferrée ; 2- Plusieurs ouvrages (viaduc sur l’Aude et sur des RD, ponts) remarquables sont en bon état ; 3- Plusieurs tronçons sont déjà ouverts aux marcheurs et VTTistes suite à la création du « Chemin vert ». Exigences de qualité et de sécurité Pour une forte fréquentation, il faut sécuriser le plus possible l’itinéraire, en : 1- recréant une Voie Verte aux endroits où la route a pris la place de la voie ferrée (comme dans la traversée de Rieux), ou a cassé un pont de la voie ferrée.

  • A Christian Psychologist Looks at the Da Vinci Code
    A Christian Psychologist Looks at The Da Vinci Code April 2006 Stephen Farra, PhD, LP, Columbia International University For information about reprinting this article, please contact Dr. Farra at [email protected] Understanding the Agenda behind The Da Vinci Code A number of scholarly, thoughtful responses to The Da Vinci Code have already been produced by other members of the Christian community. These other responses, though, tend to concentrate on historical and factual errors, and the false conclusions these errors can produce. This response is different. While this response also highlights several historical/factual errors in the text of The Da Vinci Code, this response attempts to go to the conceptual and spiritual essence of the book. Instead of focusing on mistakes, and what is obviously distorted and deliberately left out, this response focuses on what is actually being presented and sold in the book. It is the thesis of this review that what is being presented and sold in The Da Vinci Code is Wicca – Neo-paganism, modern Witchcraft, “the Wiccan Way.” People need to make up their own minds on this important issue, however. A comparative chart, and numerous other quotations / examples are employed to present the evidence, and make the case. The Da Vinci Code is not just a novel. If that is all it was or is, there would be no need for the page boldly labeled "FACT” (all capital letters). The FACT page is page 1 in the book, the last printed page before the Prologue, the true beginning of the story. On the FACT page, the author(s) try to convince you that they have done a good job of researching and fairly representing both the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei, and then go on to boldly proclaim: "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate." This "novel" is really a deconstructionist, post-modern attempt to re-write history, with a hidden agenda deeply embedded within the deconstructionist effort.

  • Priory of Sion.Pdf
    Priory of Sion members Pierre Plantard Leonardo da Vinci Philippe, Marquis de Chérisey Isaac Newton According to the Dossiers secrets, the primary aim of the Priory of Sion is the protection and advancement of the descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, their ultimate objective being placing them on the throne of – or at least in positions of power and influence in - France. The President of the 1956 Priory of Sion was Andre Bonhomme. Andre Bonhomme was one of the four founding members of the Priory of Sion in Annemasse in 1956, along with Pierre Plantard. He is tired of being harassed by inquiries about the nature of the association and doesn't want any publicity - he refuses to be interviewed on tv or radio. He doesn't understand where people get the idea that the Priory was anything other than what it was - just a small club of friends. This was the statement he made to the BBC in 1996: "The Priory of Sion doesn't exist anymore. We were never involved in any activities of a political nature. It was four friends who came together to have fun. We called ourselves the Priory of Sion because there was a mountain by the same name close-by. I haven't seen Pierre Plantard in over 20 years and I don't know what he's up to but he always had a great imagination. I don't know why people try to make such a big thing out of nothing." And to quote French Researcher Jean-Luc Chaumeil from his 1994 book ‘The Table Of Isis, Part 2, The Templars Of The Apocalypse: The Message Of A Sacred Enigma - Tales, Legends And Myths Of Rennes-le-Chateau’: "Finally, the Priory of Sion was created in 1956.

  • Female Representation and Generic Constraints in the Da Vinci Code
    THE NOT SO SACRED FEMININE: FEMALE REPRESENTATION AND GENERIC CONSTRAINTS IN THE DA VINCI CODE Jenn Brandt A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Montana Miller ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Since its publication in 2003, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has dominated bestseller lists, becoming one of the most widely read, discussed, and analyzed books in recent history. Although The Da Vinci Code offers a radical view of history that argues for the equality and power of women, at the end of the novel nothing has actually changed. In light of this, my thesis is a feminist analysis of the female protagonist, Sophie Neveu, in both Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code and Ron Howard’s 2006 film adaptation. In analyzing these texts, I ultimately conclude that the lack of actual female empowerment is the result of the conventions of the classical mystery/detective genre. John Cawelti’s theories of genre and formula and Laura Mulvey’s psychoanalytical theories of gender and the gaze form the theoretical base for my observations. These theories, along with those relating to gender and the detective genre, are instrumental in my close readings of Dan Brown’s novel and Ron Howard’s film adaptation. In examining The Da Vinci Code in terms of its popular culture effects and popularity, I situate the text within the historical locations of postmodernism and a post- 9/11 United States.
