Henry Lincoln at Rennes-le-Chateau

August 23th 2002

Henry Lincoln was in Rennes le Chateau on Friday 23 August. Like Gérard de Sède, this gentleman was a pioneer in the Rennes story. He discovered the mystery when he read de Sède's book. He then led an investigation and met all the treasure hunters that were around from 1969 to 1972, when the BBC released his first film.

I had already had the pleasure to meet and interview Henry Lincoln in 1999. THe man is still the same, although he's been suffering from serious health trouble.

Mr Lincoln answered the audience's questions for about two hours and made an impression on the people present when he explained his recent discoveries about the hills and churches geometry in the region. No conclusions or hypothesis but mere facts. He also spoke of the damaged some treasure hunters inflict to the countryside.

We had agreed to have dinner together the next day, so that I could interview him, but he had to cancel the meeting because of his bad health. I kept the questions sent to me by net people and I will meet Mr Lincoln again in London in late November. We have an appointment...
