The Holy Place

If you are interested in the Sacred Geometry with the Pantagrams on the Earth, this book is outstandig. It's focus on the Geometry related to Renne Le Chataux. It is helpful to read David Woods Genesis The first book of Revelation, before you read this book.

Sacred Geometry

I chose this book because the intriguing title led me to believe I would learn about an ancient ruin or buildling, the civilization that created it., and the activities that took place there that made it "holy". The book went in a completely different direction, however, than what I expected. The "holy place" is a region around the village of Rennes-le-Chateau in France, and what makes it holy is that the churches, castles and ruins of the area are all aligned in complex geometrical patterns, and the high points of land surrounding the area are situated in the shape of a pentagon. The building sites are on points that form an arrangement of pentagons, stars, circles, and grids. Most of the book describes and illustrates these geographic and geometric relationships, which, although interesting, becomes rather tedious. I was pretty well convinced of this "sacred geometry", but I really wanted to know who created the site and why. There is a suggestion that ancient people had more knowledge and skills than we acknowledge today, and that a secret society may have been involved in the site's creation. Unfortunately, because of lack of proof, the author had no conclusion about this, therefore, we are left hanging, having to wait until further discoveries are made, perhaps by archaeologists who can some day uncover more definitive proof.

Templars code discovered

Studying ancient mathematics I discovered, (thanks to the book and video clip of the aut- hor Henry Lincoln), that also the Templars had dicovered these ancient codes for mathematics and geogrraphy. They used these new knowledge exclusively for their own purpose i.e. building technics and the choice of locations respectively. In order to progress further, I will offer my discovery to Hen ry Lincoln's search this in a lasting attemp to find definitly the buried treasure.

Very interesting

In the south of France there is an area containing many churches, shrines and so on. They all fall into massive, well laid-out pentagrams and grids. This book is kind of a followup to "Holy Blood Holy Grail" which is an excellent read. For those of you into VERY weird coincidences (or secret plots) will enjoy this. There is definately something going on.....
