The Holy Place by Henry Lincoln

The Holy Place by Henry Lincoln

From the coauthor of Holy Blood, Holy Grail--a basis for The Da Vinci Code--comes a deeper exploration of the secrets of Rennes-le-Chateau. 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-Chateau, a small town in France where, in the late nineteenth century, Berenger Sauniere's discovery of a series of parchments led in turn to a large but cursed treasure that challenged many traditional Christian beliefs--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-Chateau. Dan Brown's international bestseller The Da Vinci Code--based on Holy Blood, Holy Grail--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 masterpiece--a holy place of enormous size and importance.

Together, Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln have co-authored the international bestsellers Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh are co-authors of The Temple and the Lodge, The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, and Secret Germany. Henry Lincoln is the author of The Holy Place: Sauniere and the Decoding of the Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, The Templars' Secret Island: The Knights, the Priest and the Treasure, and Key to the Sacred Pattern: The Untold Story of Rennes-le-Chateau.
