The authors make some jumps, but it is an interesting read with some interesting theories, that probably aren't true. (  ) tuckerresearch | Dec 30, 2008 |  That’s where Dan Brown excavated the intrigue for his “Da Vinci Code”. The opening chapter is named: Le code secret de Leonard de Vinci” and so on and so on. The dim places in the Bible, mysterious images in the early Christian churches, the history of the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and other secret societies. A luxury compilation of information of this kind. Read “”The Pendulum of Foucault” By Umberto Ecco – have a cold shower. pathlessness | Dec 25, 2007 | I never did read the Da Vinci code but i guess this book contains many of the same concepts just in non-fiction form. Very interesting ideas. (  ) rampaginglibrarian | Jul 3, 2006 | Look at the tag... 'nuf said.  tole_lege | Dec 23, 2005 |  no reviews | add a review

THE MOST CLOSELY GUARDED SECRET OF THE WESTERN WORLD IS ABOUT TO BE REVEALED -- AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE CHRISTIANITY IN THE SAME LIGHT AGAIN.
In a remarkable achievement of historical detective work that is destined to become a classic, authors Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince delve into the mysterious world of the Freemasons, the Cathars, the Knights Templar, and the occult to discover the truth behind an underground religion with roots in the first century that survives even today. Chronicling their fascinating quest for truth through time and space, the authors reveal an astonishing new view of the real motives and character of the founder of Christianity, as well as the actual historical -- and revelatory -- roles of John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene. Painstakingly researched and thoroughly documented, The Templar Revelation presents a secret history, preserved through the centuries but encoded in works of art and even in the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe, whose final chapter could shatter the foundation of the Christian Church.
