For years lectures of
all kinds have been held in Rennes le Chateau. We were told nice
stories, most of the times without many elements of reference . On
July 19th, an enthralled audience agreed that things were changing
in the Rennes le Chateau affair. For a bit more than two hours,
virtual images at last showed us something valuable. There was no
need for a debate at the end of the lecture, so rich of information
the talk had been.
Mr Saussez (a well known user of the site’s message boards who wrote
a few words about the soundings) gave us his views as an architect
about the church Mary Magdalene. He explained that for a very long
time, people had been reading "between the lines" whereas he, simply
chose to read the lines themselves.
His whole theory was founded on Saunière’s personal documents, the
old parish register, the Lescure report, a study on roman and pre
roman churches in the area, the diocesan reports, and a personal
observation of the church.
Thus Paul Saussez could locate and draw a 3D picture of the lords of
Rennes’s tomb. He also explained why and how this tomb had remained
a secret, how Saunière found it and then concealed it again.
As a conclusion, Mr Saussez was asked
"What is the
probability of such a crypt under the church on a scale
from 1 to 10?"
The answer was quite
short:
"9. 99" said
Mr Saussez.
We thank Mr Saussez for
allowing us to publish his pictures. Let’s get back in time. . . .
