Dissatisfied with the explanations of previous researchers, Richard Andrews and Paul Schellenberger applied mathematical logic to the enduring mystery of Rennes-le-Château and the `treasure' alleged to be buried there. They were sceptical. They assumed the enigma would wither under such scrutiny. It did not.
The quest began with an investigation into the activities of a group of nineteenth-century priests, but as the trail was pursued it became apparent that the mystery's scope stretched far beyond the mountains of southern France. A series of paintings was unearthed which incorporated a cryptic geometry: a set of interrelating shapes with a very direct link to the priests' habitat and spiritual role. An astonishing pattern then emerged – a web of concealment on maps, in fine art, on tombstones – which spanned centuries, defied coincidence and pointed to one very specific location.
Tackling one of the most hotly debated questions in Christianity today, The Tomb of God exposes knowledge which has long been suppressed, and explores a strand of Christianity which had not only known of the secret but made it a central pillar of its teaching. This `alternative' religion, based on individual responsibility rather than blind faith, was found to possess enormous potential for the late twentieth century. But why had people gone to such lengths to hide the truth? As the nature of the treasure becomes apparent, the question answers itself: the knowledge is dangerous, alarming, the greatest of heresies.
