Jesus and the Egyptian mystery schools

Crucifixion


There is no one within the church who can explain just how the people who stood by and witnessed the murder of one of the greatest spiritual teachers of all time became something more after He died, then they had been in the moments just before He was dead. What was it that was conferred ? Eternal life?

The crucifiction story contained in the text now called the “Bible” is but the allegorical re-telling of the actual event which took place in Egypt in the Mystery School at Giza.A twice told tale for those lacking the capacity to understand the complete truth. The fact is that there is no existing evidence whatsoever that the crucifixion event upon which the Christian religion is based ever took place. 


As Sir E.A. Wallis Budge pointed out in his book Egyptian Religion, Osiris had been worshiped in ancient Egypt over such a long period of time ( more than 2,000 years,) that there was a transference in the minds of the worshipers by which Osiris changed from being an immaculately conceived immortal-mortal who gave a demonstration of the fact of afterlife, to Osiris becoming the cause of afterlife itself. It is a twice told tale and Christianity has repeated the pattern. At this point in time Jesus the Christ is taken as the cause of afterlife, with the church staking out its proprietary territory as custodians of the franchise.

The entire planet is laced with archeological and anthropological evidence of the belief in, or knowledge that, humankind are naturally immortal psycho-physical beings. Ritual burials going back tens of thousands of years attest to this. The idea that it was not possible to know this until Jesus came along is a completely irrational denial of fact. The immortality of the human soul is a nearly universal belief, always was, always will be. Mere doubts have not the power to separate ourselves from our very nature. Immortality did not begin with the lifetime of the one called Jesus the Christ. Humans are a race of natural immortals.


True Purpose

As the story has it, the wraith of Jesus appeared to his disciples and close relatives three days after the 2nd crucifixion. ( The one which supposedly killed his body. He must have survived the one in Egypt as cited in Revelations 11:8.) The proof that Jesus the Christ gave of his continued existence, while an article of faith , must now be accepted as genuine. It fulfilled his core mission which was to inject the reality of afterlife into the religion of His own people, the Jews.

[NOTE: Matthew 15:24 ]

Religious scholars continue to debate the origon of the Jews. They were Semitic tribes, primarily identifiable by their accent rather than religion. They engaged in mercantile trade accross the Middle East and North Africa. They most certainly engaged in trade in Babylon. At that time, Babylonian was the lingua franca that enabled commercial trade. People had a native language, and if they could speak Babylonian, they could converse and trade with any other nationality. Their accent carried over to their adopted language. This trait continues into the present.

Abraham is said to be the original patriarch. He was a resident of the great city of Ur, near the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Leaving Ur he begins the journey that would not be fulfilled until the 20th century... the search for a Jewish homeland. One of the most hallowed traditions in the land of Canaan ( lots of argument about the territory called Canaan,) is the sacrificing of the first born son to God. ( A crime when enacted by Herod and the Egyptians, yet we are to believe a holy sacrament in the time of Abraham. Apparently just who kills the son matters.) When, where, and why this tradition originated is nebulous, but that it was a tradition in Canaan is taken as fact. Abraham goes to comply, against his better judgement, when he is interrupted by the Lord God Jehovah Himself. God apparently appreciates Abraham’s sincerity so much that He gives him a dispensation and accepts the lesser sacrifice of the blood of a lamb. The rationality that blood sacrifice is pleasing to God has never been explained anywhere, anytime, by anybody, but is common around the globe among primitive peoples. Thus does the tradition of animal sacrifice enter Judaism. Of greater import is the idea that God in his inimitable holy way is perverse enough to lead us into temptation. What kind of parent, much less a God would lead his own into temptation and why? What kind of God must one pray to " lead us not into temptation? Think about it! 

The Jews had never accepted the idea that conscious life existed anywhere other than those who breathe. Their philosophy denied the possibility that mankind can be immortal. They developed a very practical and completely understandable tradition that substituted morals and ethics as a method of daily living. Individuals had freewill and were responsible for the benefits or consequences of their own actions. Atonement for sin and iniquities was possible through scheduled apology and restitution. The reward of a life well lived was longevity. According to them, Sarah begat a child by Abraham at age 93. Enoch lived 365 years. Methuselah got all the way to 969. (That someone else would have to have lived longer than 969 to know whether or not this is true goes unaddressed and unquestioned in the Book of Genesis.) Why people in the modern world continue to believe such is a mystery.


Going back to the Jesus story... It is interesting to note that the Bible places three very significant Jews in Egypt. Joseph arrives as a slave, Moses is born there, and Jesus is taken there as an infant by His parents. Egypt was very good to the Jews of that time. It gave them appreciation, protection, and succor. Both Joseph and Moses found themselves accepted on the basis of their merits. Even so, the characterizations of the Torah and the Bible uniformly vilify Egypt and its people. There is even a recent claim that without Jewish slave labor Egypt would not have its Pyramids. But without the largess of Egypt, without Joseph, Moses, and Jesus having been welcomed there, and protected by its order ( MAAT,) and stabilty, Judaism may not have survived at all. The Hebrews were able to coalesce into an organized group in Egypt. Gratitude, it seems, eludes them unto the present.

The Bible places Jesus in Egypt as an infant. He is seen only once in childhood at the age of 9 or 10 wowing the rabbis with a level of erudition and knowledge that goes beyond their own understanding. We do not see him again until he is 30. As is found at Revelations 11:8, Jesus is crucified and becomes Christed while in Egypt. He was an initiate of the Mystery School at Giza.


Briefly, the crucifixion within the Mystery School took place within Cheops. In it, a candidate for initiation into the great mystery called death was laid prone on a horizontal cross in the shape of an X. He was lightly bound with loose cloths which he could easily escape if desired. The essence of a self sacricifice is that it must be voluntary. Escape must be possible. Being staked to a cross with iron nails can hardly be deemed voluntary, but the outer teachings deem this a sacrifice.

While upon the cross the candidate is attended by 12 priests, each occuppying a station of the zodiac ( or stations of the cross if you will.) The priests chant sounds that may be deemed mantras in a resonant tone (B flat,) that imparts resonance to the surrounding chamber walls. The candidate, having properly prepared over his entire lifetime, suspends his breathing and then his heart beat and enters a self induced catatonic state which outwardly resembles death itself. Then he ceases producing thought.

The spirit body being freed from its earthly bonds then ascends to planes of higher consciousness where it takes instructions from the tutelary entities which inhabit the upper realms of mentation. As the initiate descends from these planes to reassume control of the body self marks are placed at specific parts of the body which appear in the flesh if the initiate is successful in his round trip. We call these marks stigmata, and it is by them that masters are recognized. ( Look on your palms. If you find a completed triangle you were initiated in a previous lifetime at Giza.)


By the initiation of the crucifixion in Egypt, Jesus the Christ had experienced an intentional death, had dwelled in the higher realms of discarnate mentation, (a supersensuous state of contact with superconsciousness,) taken instruction at the feet of the greatest sages and holy men of the universal plan, and returned to life as a matter of conscious will. He is now an immortal-mortal. He is a transcendent master of the matter world and all that exists within it.

Being loyal to the traditions of the Mystery School, He must leave its cloistered grounds and return to the land of his birth to teach such truths as its people are capable of comprehending. The greatest handicap of the population is their lack of appreciation that theirs is an immortal nature. Like everyone who ever tried to make great changes, His teachings are routinely rejected by the established theological custodians. In particular does the priestcraft find him objectionable. He wants to change just about everything they hold dear. Not one in ten thousand has the capacity to connect to what he is saying. He is the enemy from within and is betrayed and disowned by His own kind.

There being absolutely no physical evidence supporting most of the Jesus story, it must be taken as a matter of mere belief alone that He was crucified and died on a cross for something called 'Sin.'


One must realize that the Jewish dogma was that life began when God imbues the new born with breath, and ends when God withdraws the breath so given. The translation in the book we now call the Bible contains a small error in the phrase "Man does not live by bread alone." The correct statement is " Man does not live by breath alone," a concept of afterlife that drove a stake through the heart of Judaism. This was the major heresy that threatened Judaism itself. It was the specific reason Jesus was recognized as a religious revolutionary. The reason he had to be done away with. So they saw to it He was killed. Ironic that in doing so they created the means by which Jesus was able to prove his point. The Catholic Church has long claimed the realm between " the quick and the dead," as their jurisdiction. Very accurate this take take on transcendental territory.

In the end, the proof that He knew what he was talking about, that all of His teachings came from access to Divine knowledge, that every word He had ever spoken was true, that mankind were natural immortals would have to come in this one final definitive act. He was willing to die to dispel their ignorance. It was an act taken to generate an ultimate credibility. The Jews would then have to join their counterparts in Egypt, China, India, Tibet, all of the world including the Americas, that indeed, our conscious awareness survives the death of the physical structure. No longer were the Jews to remain the odd man out. 

Attainment of conscious immortality is naturally experiential. The nature of consciousness was the curriculum of the Mystery School at Giza. They had organized it so that the results experienced were as predictable and repeatable as anything in modern science. Theirs was the science of human regeneration without the encrustations of religion.

The Life of An Egyptian Initiate - Ancient Mystery Schools of Egypt

I am El-Amaan an Initiate in the Ancient Mystery Schools of Egypt.
I have come to tell you about the life of an Initiate in Ancient Egypt.

5,000 years ago ... give or take

There were many degrees of Initiation and many levels of Priesthoods as all things have hierarchies. Some priests were born into families of Priests or Priestesses and assumed the destiny of the family bloodline when their predecessors got close to death. A Priest or Priest could select their successor. As this would not be an easy journey one had to chose carefully.

Secrets were told within the families about the mystery teachings and the Rites of Passages of Initiation. One usually became a Priest or Priestess after a long course of study, fasting, ritual, and a lifetime of dedication. Remember, the life span in ancient Egypt was not long, the souls of many Priests often reincarnating again and again keep the sacred knowledge within certain bloodlines. To this very day, many people still have the ability to access that information as they were there.

Priests would study for many years to achieve the highest level of spiritual accomplishment they were meant to attain. They would forfeit all personal goals and belongings living a life of semi-solitude and worship of the Gods and Goddesses of Egypt. For the most part they were men, but there were High Priestesses.

As with priests today, many initiates did not marry nor have families. Some were said to have mated with the gods during an Initiation, producing offspring with unique abilities.

There were Brotherhoods - most notably the Great White Brotherhood - that some believe exist to this very day.

As the Kingdoms and Dynasties changed, so too did the way initiations were conducted, though religion followed many of the same traditions and patterns for centuries, mirroring many of today's practices. Many Priests later became alchemists and mathematicians.

To visit a sacred temple in Egypt, and walk in the path of the Initiate in another timeline, is to feel their experience and frequency of knowledge. Some call this the Hall of Records orAkashic Records - a frequency of knowledge and a library of information that tells the story of humanity from beginning to end. Some believe this knowledge remains hidden in a secret chamber beneath the Sphinx, but that is just myth.

Initiates believed in myth and the power of the Gods just as some people do today. To questions the nature of the gods was to be expelled from the priesthoods and brotherhoods. One did not question ... one followed and blindly believed.

Lower level Initiates followed ancient rituals hoping to become empowered to serve God and Pharaoh. The goal was to become High Priests or Priestesses a journey filled with many pitfalls, rituals, challenges, quests, and uncertainty. Only the best would achieve their goals and it was competitive.

There was great anticipation as young initiates, most in their teens, began their journeys with only the most basic of training. For those who succeeded, this would be a lifetime commitment. What could be better for a young man or woman than to learn the secrets of the gods and their powers. It was all about "The Calling" and tradition.

The journey was one of study of the ancient mystery school teachings many of which follow through into more modern texts. There were incantations, litanies, rituals, and the learning of scared knowledge only given to those deemed worthy. Not all of the Initiates would remain at the end of the Initiations, only those allegedly chosen by the gods after years of study and sacrifice - those who passed the tests of the gods.

There were times of fasting and prayer during which the initiates would raise their consciousness to attain higher wisdom to guide the Pharaohs when the ceremonies were complete.

---

There was mirror and water scrying into pools of water
or oils to gain a glimpse into other worlds and the future.

---

Initiations were conducted in sacred temples and monuments to bring the initiate closer to the many gods linked to Egyptian mythology. There were secret passwords and codes one would illicit "from the gods" in meditation and prayer allowing them to gain entrance to temples with higher and higher frequency as there was an order to be followed.

---

One had to understand the motions of celestial objects, and be attuned with their energies, if they were to become a High Priest or Priestess. There were ceremonies aligned with these events highlighted by a strong connection with Orion and Sirius and the annual Flooding of the Nile which meant their survival.

---

Mathematics, Geometry, Astronomy, and Astrology were a very important part
of their course of study as they told the story of the past, present, and future.

---

Meeting the Gods

High Priests and Priestesses were allegedly initiated by Ra in the Great Pyramid when the Sun aligned with the capstone by exact degree.

Some recorded the return of Ra in what we would call a spaceship to select those who would best serve the religious needs of the gods, the Pharaohs and the people. Today one has to question if these were gods or aliens/ancient astronauts who were part of humanity's creation, for indeed they told the Initiates and Priests they would watch over them and return one day. The study of extraterrestrial life was known to them - visitors who came from other places and were part of humanity's creation.

Priests began their final initiation by disrobing and walking through a rectangular pool of water to the far end. There they were given robes and told to walk forward into the Great Pyramid, to be greeted by the gods who would descend [beam down] from their ship and enter the Great Pyramid through a "portal" welcoming the initiates who followed them to a chamber, or was it another dimension?

Torch carriers lead the way to secret chambers whose lighting has yet to be explained. The walls contained text with symbols not of this world. There were altars, statues, and sarcophagi.

Within the chambers magic would happen along with the appearance of Thoth the record keeper and scribe of this reality. Thoth was indeed a magician and trickster who taught through illusion. Ah ... the tricks he showed the Priests that had them laughing as he had quite the sense of humor, and still does.

What had been written on papyrus was brought into physical reality as Initiates and Priests were shown secret rites as if watching a hologram in which they could interact with the gods.

Some say they breathed in strange vapors and essences, or were given some sort of hallucinogens in which reality shifted. Perhaps ... but not exactly true.

Amulets, garments laced with jewels/crystals, headdresses, rods, and other items were given to connect with the gods, their magic abilities known only to those chosen. These items were to be used for communication, teleportation, and healing.

How long they remained with the gods is hard to tell as time is part of the illusion.

Today people are initiates once again as they quest for the knowledge of their creation. Were you there? If you have been guided here, you probably were. Close your eyes and join me in one of the initiations below.

Mystery of Rennes-le-Château

From Rags to Richess

At the end of the 19th century, Bérenger Saunière, the poor parish priest of Rennes-le-Château, all of a sudden started spending a lot more money then he could ever have earned performing his normal duties. He had been assigned to this tiny village in the south of France at the age of 33 and had spent his first few years there in piety and poverty. According to his meticulously kept accounting books, in February 1892 he had a debt of 105 francs and 80,65 francs in his ‘fonds secrets’ (savings). That all changed in the 1890s. From that time on his surviving papers and accounts record a total expenditure of some 660,000 francs, equivalent to EUR 2,500,000 today. He would spend up to 50,000 francs in one month in some periods. His salary as a priest was 900 francs per annum. Towards the end of his life he seems to have had some difficulty paying his bills but weeks before his death he appears to have been making plans once again. Saunière’s financial difficulties coincide largely with the World War I, an indication he couldn’t reach his funds abroad?

It’s often said Saunière got his fortune by committing simony or mass trafficking: requesting money for masses he never said. There’s clear evidence that he was guilty of this practice like so many of his colleagues at the time. However, the amounts of money he spent are in no relation to his illegal income from this practice. Detailed analysis of his records has taught he received 110,000 requests to say mass, which is a lot more than he ever could have said when you think a priest could say 3 masses in one day (and didn’t hold sermons every day of course). The going rate for a mass was 1 franc around 1880, increasing up to 1.5 francs at the time of his death. From this he could have earned no more than some 150,000 francs which only accounts for less than a quarter of his recorded spenditure (and which was only part of what he really spent). Saunière’s income is further dissected in this article.

The Silent Witness

It is probable that Bérenger Saunière made one or more discoveries during his life that brought him fortune in one way or another. Moreover he did some pretty strange things during his long ministry in Rennes-le-Château, always assisted by his faithful housekeeper Marie Dénarnaud who was 16 years his younger. Many times they were seen digging in the cemetery at night together to such extent that the municipal council filed an official complaint for deplacing graves and disturbing the dead. From 1910 onwards, Saunière was under investigation by the Diocese of Carcasonne for excessive spending and failing to produce evidence of the source of his fortune. In his defense he claimed the money had been given to him as gifts. He also stated he had only spent 193,000 francs. When he kept refusing to share his account books with the bishop he was sentenced for trafficking masses and forbidden to perform his sacerdotal duties any longer. Marie Dénarnaud, lived on for another 36 years after her master’s death. She promised Noel Corbu, to whom she sold the estate in 1946, to tell him a secret on her deathbed that would make him both powerful and rich. To Corbu’s intense frustration, Dénarnaud had a fit some weeks before she died, leaving her unable to speak or write. She took the secret to her grave. Contemporaries remembered her saying the people of Rennes-le-Château walk on gold, without knowing itand that what was left was enough to feed the whole village for a hundred years and there’s still be left. To Corbu’s inquiries why she had never tapped from whatever the source was herself she replied that she would never touch it.

Birth of a Mystery

Noel Corbu is probably responsible for what the mystery is today. In need of something to attract visitors to his Hotel du Tour (the refurbished Villa Bethania) he started telling a treasure story to his customers. This after he had failed to find any treasure on the domain himself. The story worked like a magnet. In fact he got so busy telling the story that he recorded it on tape for his customers. He enhanced the story somewhat in his enthusiasm and attracted the attention of local newspaper Le Depeche du Midi resulting in three full page articles in January 1956 about this Abbé Saunière, the billionaire priest who had found the Treasure of Blanche of Castille. In reality, there is no shred of evidence that queen Blanche indeed left a treasure in the area that Saunière could have discovered. Some 10 years later, the story was published in book form by French journalist Gérard de Sède: Accursed Treasure of Rennes-le-Château.

De Sède’s book marked the start of a misinformation campaign by French adventurer Pierre Plantard and his friend the Belgian Marquis and actor Phillippe de Chérisey. Allegedly, De Sède published a manuscript by Plantard that he edited. In the next couple of years Plantard and De Chérisey used original Saunière material and home made forged documents to construct a story around the mystery of Abbé Saunière by which they meant to “prove” that Plantard was actually a descendent of the Merovingian bloodline and thus a rightful heir to the French throne. To this end they deposited a series of forged documents in the French National Library: Les Dossiers Secrets. The misfinformation campaign got completely out of hand when BBC scenario writer Henry Lincoln got the scent of a good treasure story and with the help of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, drew some conclusions that were a million miles away from what Plantard and the Chérisey had intended: not only was Plantard of Merovingian blood; according to Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, the Merovingians were direct descendents of the offspring of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.

Today it is almost impossible to distinguish the truth from fantasy. However, most of the leading theories are losely based on facts and legends of the area that can be traced or demonstrated. The half truth is the most difficult to dissect.

The Mystery’s historical roots

In the spring of 1645, a shepherd called Ignace Paris found an unknow quantity of golden coins on the lands of Blaise d’Hautpoul, who’s territory included Rennes (at the time not yet called “le-Château”). Blaise was an ancestor of François d’Hautpoul-Rennes, whose wife Marie de Nègre is believed by many to be at the center of the mystery of Rennes-le-Château. Local legend says Paris was killed after having told where he had struck gold. What followed was a long fight between the Jansenist bishop of Alet Nicolas Pavillon, Blaise d’Hautpoul and the brothers Nicolas and François Fouquet. Nicolas was Louis XIV’s treasurer, François became the bishop of Alet’s neighbour Narbonne in 1659, three years after his brother Nicolas Fouquet wrote a letter to Nicolas, describing a meeting with famous French painter Nicolas Poussin in Rome:

He and I discussed certain things, which I shall with ease be able to explan to you in detail – things that will give you, through Monsieur Poussin, advantages which even kings would have great pains to draw from him, and which, according to him, it is possible that nobody else will ever be able to rediscover in the centuries to come. And, what is more, these are things so difficult to discover that nothing now on this earth can prove of better fortune nor be their equal.

In September 1661, Jean Loret, who ran a magazine called ‘La Muze Historique’, wrote of a treasure found in the diocese of Alet(-les-Bains), roughly in the same area. Loret worked for the Fouquets and the Duchess of Longueville who maintained an extensive mail relation with Pavillon. The spiderweb stretches wider still. In 1666, Colbert, who had succeeded Nicolas Fouquet as French minister of Finance, founded the ‘Compagnie Royale des Mines et Fonderies du Languedoc’ with the intend to start mining on Blaise d’Hautpoul’s land (much the same like Bertrand de Blanchefort allegedly asked the Knights Templar to start mining the same lands near the Château de Blanchefort in 1130). In return Blaise was formally granted a status ‘de ne dépendre que du roi’: It made him answerable to the King alone. You can read more about this in Franck Daffos’ (French) book le Secret Dérobé or on the website he runs with valued colleague researcher Jean-Pierre Garcia: Rennes-le-Château Archive.

There must have been something interesting enough in this region to attract the attention of so many rich and powerful people. The link with Poussin comes full circle with Louis XIV acquiring his famous painting the Shepherds of Arcadia in 1685 from C.A. Herault, a well known arts dealer at the time. The painting adorned the king’s private chambers until his death.

What Bérenger Saunière appears to have found

There are numerous theories and ideas as to what Saunière found. Several instances have been recorded in which Saunière made reference to something like a treasure. For example Antoine Beaux, Abbé of Campagne-sur-Aude was attending a dinner party at Saunière’s table once. He remarked “My friend, to see you doing so well, one would think you found a treasure”. To this the host appears to have answered: “Me l’an donat, l’ai panat, l’ai parat é bé lo teni“. It’s Saunière’s dialect of the Langue d’Oc. In modern French it means “Ils me l’ont donné, je l’ai pris, je l’ai apprêtré; eh bien, je le tiens bien.” An English translation would be: “They gave it to me, I took it, I made it work and I will hold onto it.”

According to Antoine Captier, the grandson of Saunière’s bellringer of the same name, a glass vial was found by his grandfather inside a wooden baluster in the 1880s. This wooden support pillar that carried the old pulpit, had been taken down during the work to restore the church. When Captier did his round through the church one evening, he noticed part of the baluster had come loose, revealing a small hidden compartment. Inside he found a small glass tube with a document inside. He gave it to Saunière, who started his digging activities in the graveyard soon afterwards. Several local sources have confirmed this story as documented in Captier’s book and thebook of Pierre Jarnac. Captier and Jarnac are generally regarded as among the most serious of researchers. What’s more they are closest to the original sources.

The story that Saunière found documents in the hollow visigothic altar pillar is most probably not true. Research reveals that there was no hollow space inside that pillar so it seems unlikely that is true.

A last story is that Saunière found a pot filled with golden coins and a golden chalice during the renovations. This too apparently happened during the renovation work on the church altar. Saunière immediately sent the workmen off for the rest of the day. When he was asked what it was they found he replied that it was nothing but a collection of worthless religious medals. The Abbé did give a golden chalice from the time of Bigou to his friendEugène Grassaud. The chalice still exists. It was donated to the church of Rennes-le-Château by the Order of the Knights of Malta around 1750. As it appears his predeccessorAntoine Bigou stashed it away in the church before he fled to Spain to escape the French Revolution.

From these stories it seems likely that Saunière did indeed find some coins, a chalice and one or more documents. The documents either led him to a secret entrance to the old crypt of the Eglise Madeleine (for example via a fake grave of Marie de Nègre) or to another location where he found something that brought him fortune.

The documents Saunière is believed to have found are often referred to as being…

1. A parchment containing the genealogy of King (Saint) Dagobert II from 681 to 1244, when Jean VII married Elsinde de Gisors. The document is dated 14th March 1244 and carries the seal of Blanche of Castille, Queen of France

2. The testament of François-Henri d’Hautpoul, Lord of Rennes and Bézu, with attached a genealogy of the Merovingian descendants from 1200 to 1644, where 6 lines of descent are related to Saint Vincent de Paul. This document is dated 23rd November 1644 and is signed by Captier, Notaire at Esperaza

3. The testament of Henri de Hautpoul, dated 24th April 1695, in which five saint are invoked of which Saunière later put statues in his church

4. A double sided parchment produced by his predecessor Abbé Antoine Bigou containing on one side a piece of Latin text from the new testaments, compiled from Luke, Matthew and Mark. On the other side it contains the story of Jesus visiting Lazarus in Bethania from the Gospel of John in Latin. The double sided parchment (item 4) contains a number of messages, some of which are easy and other which are extremely hard to decode. In combination with the tombstone of Marie de Nègre d’Ables, (who was buried by Antoine Bigou who also made her tombstone), are said to lead to a treasure. It appears like Abbé Saunière, alone or with the help from experts in Paris, cracked the code and followed the treasure map that resulted. The double-sided parchment was first published in two separate sides (the so calledgrand and small parchments) by Gérard de Sède in the Accursed Treasure of Rennes-le-Château.

In his book Rennes-le-Château, le puzzle reconstitué (2007), Jarnac and French researcher Franck Daffos build a plausible case that the last mentioned parchments actually existed and where sold off by Noel Corbu.

What kind of Treasure could there have been?

Again, numerous possibilities and stories go around. If you disregard those about UFO’s and extraterrestrial visitors there are a number of options. The area around Rennes-le-Château is drenched in a history of bloodshed and treasure. Visigoths, Templars, Catharsand assorted scoundrels, clerics and adventurers roamed the area at different times in history. It is not unthinkable that some of the treasure that these groups brought with them or accumulated was left behind in the region. The accounts that are underpinned with some sort of theory and evidence to at least identify them from pure fantasy are mentioned here. Saunière found:

§  the Crypt of the Lords of Rennes beneath his church. If the genealogies are correct, it might even have been the Crypt of one or more Merovingian royals, buried with the artifacts and treasure that was the custom of the time

§  a treasure hidden in 12 places supposedly cryptically coded into the book The True Celtic Language and the Cromleck of Rennes-les-Bains by Saunière’s colleague Abbé Henri Boudet of Rennes-le-Bains

§  the treasure of the Visigoths, containing the treasure of the temple of Jerusalem, that roman emperor Titus took from the Holy Land in ad 70. and Alaric I, in his turn took from Rome during the sack of 394

§  the treasure of the Cathars. When the last Cathar bastion of Montségur fell, the besieging royal troops found nothing of the famous Cathar treasure. Shortly before the surrender four man three men were lowered down from the ramparts by ropes under cover of the night. According to local legend they carried with them the Holy Grail

§  the treasure of the Knights Templar. The Templars had a presence in the region. There was a commandery at Campagne-sur-Aude and an observation post onMount Bézu. The Templars weren’t allowed to have personal belongings so their treasures that belonged to the order were passed on through the ages without anyone being able to get their hands on it. Anything belonging to the Templars has always inspired great fear in those who had to guard it or had reason to approach it

§  the treasure of Blanch of Castille. The mother of Saint Louis, regent of France, came to Rédé (Rennes-le-Château) in 1249 loaded down with innumerable items of baggage. Supposedly, according to one of the alleged parchments, this baggage was buried in an underground passage below the former Château of the Counts of Voisin and then walled in

§  evidence that the Merovingian bloodline is unbroken. Allegedly, after the murder of Dagobert II and his family in 679 by orders of Pepin the Fat, a son survived named Sigisbert IV that found refuge in Rhedae (Rennes-le-Château) to become lord of the region. This would mean that the Merovingian bloodline had survived to this day with a legitimate claim to the French throne. In 1791, when Saunière’s predecessors had to flee the revolution to Spain this would indeed have been explosive news

§  evidence that Jesus didn’t die on the cross but was in fact married to Mary Magdalene. After the crucifixion that either he survived or during which a replacement figure died, Marie Magdalene came to France carrying her offspring that later became the Merovingians or intermarried with them. Saunière supposedly blackmailed the Vatican with this evidence who paid him for his silence

§  the tombs of Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea in the vicinity of Opoul Perillos, as indicated by a miniature model of the Holy Places Saunière allegedly ordered just before his death and that was never finished

§  the tomb of Mary Magdalene and perhaps even one or more of her children in the vicinity of Rennes-le-Château, perhaps in the Grotto locally known as the Grotte du Fournet, Dite de la Magdeleine or Burial Site of Mary Magdalene

§  evidence that the Ark of the Covenant or at least its contents survived the ages and is hidden or was hidden below the church of Rennes-le-Château in the old crypt of the Hautpoul-Blancheforts. It was taken there from Notre Dame de Marceillebetween 1893 and 1902 by its keepers Saunière, Boudet, Gélis and Billard. This hypothesis is a lot less far-fetched than it sounds when you have read the meticulously constructed and carefully researched book ‘The Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant‘ by acclaimed Dutch writer Klaas van Urk, in which his brother and he documented their ten-year chase of the Ark’s trail through history. Sadly his book is only available in Dutch for the moment.

§  two genealogies from 1244 and 1644 that were bought by the the Vatican after which they kept giving him large amounts of money to continue his search though their aid Henri Boudet. The Vatican hoped Saunière would find the Ark of the Covenant that had been lost for over 600 years.

§  money and valuables stashed away by the noble families of the region when they had to flee the country from the French Revolution

§  the mummified body of Christ, Mary Magdalene or both is buried in the region somewhere

§  the Arma Christi (the instruments used during the Passion of Christ) were kept in Notre Dame de Marceille and Rennes-le-Château by a group of Fransciscan Ebionites.
