Freemasons: The DaVinci Propaganda
The DaVinci Propaganda:
Early Stages of Religious Transformation
Rennes-le-Chateau is a small town located on a mountain in southern France not far from the border of Spain. This area of France has been at the center of mysteries that has had connections to Freemasonry for centuries. In the area there is a church that aligns to a Templar castle in an area called Benzu and another Templar castle called Blanchefort to form a perfect triangle with two equal sides and the internal angles of 36, 72 and 72 degrees. A hilltop to the east called la Soulane and a hilltop west of that called Serre de Lauzet are both arranged to be aligned with the perfect triangle to form a perfect pentagon that stretches approximately 15 miles in circumference and are marked out by mountaintops. A man named Henry Lincoln was the man who re-discovered these alignments and he added that a fire lit from the mountaintops could easily be seen at night. Also in the center of the pentagon there is another mountain called la Pique. According to traditional stories the invisible line that forms through the church in Rennes-le-Chateau, the castle in Blanchefort and a church in the village of Argues is the line that points to the rising sun on July 22nd, which is Mary Magdalene’s birthday. It just so happens, the church in Rennes-le-Chateau is dedicated to Mary Magdalene. According to a French author named Gerard de Sede, secret coded manuscripts were discovered by the priest of the Rennes-le-Chateau church, François Berenger Sauniere in 1887.
The most popular story about sauniere was that he had found a treasure left by the Knights of Templar and many thought it was accurate because Sauniere had in fact become a wealthy man while he was priest of the church. Here is where the story becomes broken though; according to my own research it seems Sauniere was just a fraud. Back then according to law, priests were aloud to accept money for up to three masses per day. Sauniere would charge one franc and do a lot more than three per day. In 1906 he was summoned before the bishop’s court in Carcassone where he was only ordered to stop advertising for masses. However he did find treasure… In older times Freemasons would leave notes for each other in hidden wall shafts that were made hollow for the purpose of leaving messages for fellow Freemasons. The story of Sauniere states he found four documents in a hollow shaft within the church. One document was a geneology of nobles dating from 1244AD, another document was a geneology dated from 1644AD, and the two others were written in Latin. The first Latin document contained phrases from the New Testament bible, only what was odd was letters had been added to the text and lines of the text were re-arranged in peculiar patterns. In one message some of the letters in the words were raised slightly above others and these letters spelled a French sentence;
”A dagobert 2eme roi et a sion est ce tresor et il ist la mort”.
Meaning “to dagobert 2nd king and to Sion (Zion) belongs this treasure and he is dead there”.
The other document in Latin was longer and coded into two complex methods. The first method needed to record the letters in the message was by using a transposition cipher that was done by positioning the letters of the original messages on the squares of a chessboard. A chess piece, the knight usually, is then moved around the board in a precise way that allows it to visit each square only once. Each stop the knight makes moves a letter into a new-position on the board. The method to achieving this puzzle is a mathematical formula that was first published in the 1700s by a man named De Moiver. The second portion of the code involved a substitution cipher based on a keyword that was found on a gravestone in Rennes-le-Chateau. The result of the keyword provided the second message:
which read “shepherdess no temptation that possins teniers hold the key peace 681 by the cross and this horse of god I complete this demon of the guardian at midday blue apples”.
Ok so lets do a little background …
Dagobert 2nd was the last of the Merovingian kings, who ruled areas of France from 448 to 754AD. The throne of the Merovingian’s was then passed to Pepin 3rd in 754AD. Pepins’ son became known as Charlemagne the first ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.
Getting back to the code, an investigator named Martha Neijman had claimed the horse of god was in reference to a huge hilltop-rock formation that, if viewed from a certain angle resembles a horses head and on December 24th the sunlight shines directly through the cleft between the rocks that resembles horses’ ears. It has also been suggested that the cross and blue apples refers to the grapes in a nearby vineyard that has a cross displayed at its entrance. Possins and Teniers refers to two French painters that lived in the 1600s, David Teniers and Nicolas Possin. In a painting completed in 1647, it portrays Greek Sheppard’s dressed in classic archaic clothing, carrying staffs and gathered around an above-ground stone tomb. An inscription on the tomb reads the words;”Et in arcadia ego”.
The tomb in the Painting along with the back-ground, matches the appearance of an actual tomb that was once located in the east of Rennes-le-Chateau in an area called les Pontils. The tomb in les Pontils had actually been claimed to be opened in the 1920s, but allegedly found to be empty. Since then the current owner of the land had destroyed the tomb to discourage treasure hunters and tourist.
Apparently across the road from the tomb site is a megalithic standing stone. The tomb, the megalithic stone, the church in Rennes-le-Chateau and the Templar castle in Serre de Lauzet are perfectly aligned on a straight imaginary line that points exactly where the full moon rises on the winter solstice. In 1656 David Possins had apparently disclosed a secret to Abbe Louis Fouquet. The Abbe later on had made references that he had a valuable secret in a letter he wrote to his brother whom was also a minister of finance under King Louis 14th. The letter read:
”He and I discussed certain things… which I will give you… advantages, which even kings would have great pains to draw from him… and further more these things are so difficult to discover that nothing more on this earth can prove of better fortune nor be their equal”.
Amazingly the minister Fourquet after receiving the letter was arrested in 1661, charged with corruption and sentenced to life in prison. While in prison, he met another famous prisoner… the man in the iron mask.
The man in the iron mask was actually a real person that was later incorporated into a novel by Alexander Dumas. Studies of the man have revealed that his name was Eustach Dangers and his story was that he had been imprisoned on the island of St.Marguerite in 1669 apparently because he also knew some secret that was a threat to the reign of King Louis 14th. The iron mask had only been worn when D’angers was being transported between prisons, mainly so that he wouldn’t know where he was, which would make escaping harder and also so no one could be able to identify the prisoner and trace as to why he had been arrested. What is also important to note is that king Louis 14th also put a lot of effort into obtaining the original painting by David Possin and kept it in his own private collection. The code it held was that it was exactly identical to the real tomb that had the inscription.
The inscription on the tomb “et in arcadia ego” is a Latin phrase that means “and in arcadia I”…
However if the letters are re-arranged it can be made to say “I tego arcane dei” meaning “I conseal the secrets of god”. Henry Lincoln the man mainly responcible for bringing this to light had suggested that the phrase “and arcadia I” was an incomplete sentence and suggested adding “am” to complete the sentence, which would now read “and in arcadia I am”. The word am in Latin is sum, making the Latin phase anagram read “arcam dei iesus tengo” meaning “I touch the tomb of jesus”. However I found that adding “am” to the sentence that also linked to Jesus to be a sign of favoritism since the sentence “and in arcadia I” could be completed with a number of words. But perhaps all that was un-nessessary, since the original phrade in Latin “et in arcadia ego” can be also re-arranged to say “arcam dei tengo” meaning “I touch the tomb of god”. What is interesting to note was that in the painting one Shepard is touching the tomb.
But don’t worry I wont leave you hanging; there is still a code to be revealed…
As we see around us lately, religion is changing. Since the book the DaVinci Code was published a more public view has been seen that people are questioning whether Jesus had any descendents and the “secrets” of the Holy Grail. Previous to Dan Browns novel, his main based idea was modeled after Henry Lincoln, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh’s book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, which discussed the mysterious tomb and presented a theory that it was a secret about Jesus and the survival of his descendents. Now I’m the last person to believe into anything mainstream, so I looked into the tombs history.
The real tomb was bought in 1930 by a man named Louis Lawrence of Boston Massachusettes, which was recorded. However earlier in 1878 a scholar named Louis Fedie wrote an article about religion that described the megalithic stone at les Pontils but never mentioned anything about a tomb, which leads one to believe it wasn’t there yet. Records also prove that the area in les Pontils was purchased in 1880 by a Louis Galibert for the purpose to prepare a grave for his mother. In 1921 Louis Galibert’s mother was transferred to another site and the property was sold to an American named Louis B. Lawrence whom had lived in either Hartford, Connecticut or Boston Massachusettes. This man was also responcible for the tomb being re-designed. Nothing is really known about Louis B Lawrence, however a Louis Lawrence from Boston did descend from a Samuel Crooker Lawrence who was born in Medford Massachusettes in 1832, who had also graduated from Havard and served as grand commander of the knights of Templar Masonic organization of Massachusettes. He also had a large variety of masonic literature that he donated to the grand lodge of Massachusettes.
After all this it became clear that either the painting wasn’t painted in 1640 or the tomb was re-designed to resemble the picture…but why?
The painting known as the sheppards of arcadia was in fact painted by Poussin and he painted another painting called “Et in arcadia ego”, but this painting showed no tomb and was also painted in 1630. So now we know the tomb was made to resemble the painting, but the question remained…why?
Well remember the secret papers found by the priest Sauniere, it turns out that they were in fact created by a man named Phillipe de Cherisey in the 1950s. Cherisey was close friends to a man named Pierre Plantard whom was a member of a group called Alpha-Galates or First Guals, which was a group that claimed to be anti-masonic yet still used masonic symbology. The author of the book Henry Lincoln read “Le Tresor Maudit de Rennes-le-Chateau”, which is what had initially tiped him off to study into Rennes-le-Chateau was written by Gerard de Sede, who in 1941 became a member of a group called “La Main a Plume”, which was taken from the phrase by Jean Nicolas Artur Rimbaud “la main a plume vaut la main a churrue” meaning the hand that writes is equal to the hand that ploughs”. So now it should be clear this is and still is a building block to the evolution of religion and a lesson to just show people not to play favorites, see all angles and when both sides make good points look for the medium and you’ll find the scam on both sides…
Did I mention on November 8th 2003 Henry Lincoln was given an honorary knighthood initiation into the Militia Temple Scotia order in Scotland.
In 1956 a document titled Les Dossiers Secrets was published. The document was claimed to be from earlier times, but was shown to be a hoax. Even though the list of 26 grand masters of the Priory is a recently made document, it doesn’t mean it’s entirely untrue. The supposed first grand master of the Priory was Jean de Gisor, who was a real person that had been a knight and a member of an order called Zion in 1188.
People like Leonardo of DaVinci and Issac Newton were also said to be Priory grand masters. Whether true or not, both shared pre-masonic – Templar / Cathar beliefs, both shared the unorthodox religious ideas and esoteric philosophies, and both were also convinced that pyramids in Egypt held a clue to ancient wisdom about the nature of the universe.
In 1703 Newton became a close associate of Jean Desaguliers, who later became a master of a Masonic lodge in The Hague and had been active in spreading the influence of Freemasonry in Europe. It has already been proven that the Priory of Sion exist today, but controversy still rises as to whether it originated in ancient or modern times. Although the documents were in fact fixed to appear to look authentic, a document that was supposedly dated to 1616 did suggest that who ever wrote it had either secret knowledge or connections to another ancient sect called “The Compagnie de Saint-Sacrament”, which was a society that did exist and had been opposed to King Louis 14th.
Pierre Plantard who was mentioned earlier, claimed to be a descendent of King Dagobert 2nd. Whether it’s true or not, his family did once own property in Rennes-le-Chateau, his father knew the priest Sauniere and he worked with the French resistance during World War Two. So we can see that he did connect to things that put his claim possible, however even though the Priory’s claims are more-less false, the group itself is very real and does have a history of knowledge that does trace back to early France.
France had been named by the Franks, who were named after the Frankish kings of the Merovingian dynasty and their first ruler Franco, who claimed to be a descendent of Noah of the Ark. Franco’s group had migrated from the city of Troy in Turkey to Gaul and named their new settlement Troyes after their hometown Troy. Paris was named after the Greek Prince who had eloped with Helen of Troy, which was the cause of the legendary battle known as the Trojan War. The name Merovingian comes from Meroveus the father of Childeric 1st, who ruled the Salian Franks. According to genealogist Gardner, Meroveus father was a man named Clodion, who traces back to Joseph of Arimathea and then to Jesus. An early historian named Priscus described Meroveus as the son of Bistea Neptunis, which means sea-beast. The sea-beast was in reference to being half-fish, which was in reference to being related to Jesus and an understanding of the age of Pisces.
According to historical records the Merovingian’s were of Jewish origins and were descendents of the lost tribe of Benjamin, who migrated to Greece then to Germany where they became the Sicambrian Franks.
In the 18th century Jewish inhabitants of Narbonne had helped King Pepin in the conquering of the city of Septimania from Muslims. The first king of Septimania was a Frankish noble named Theodoric, whom was a Jew that was recognized by both King Pepin and the Caliph of Baghdad as “the seed of the royal house of David”. Many also believe him to be a descendent of the Merovingians. Theodoric’s son Guillem de Gellone was known as both a Merovingian descendant and a Jew of royal blood. According to other documents, the Order of Sion was founded in 1090 by Godfrey de Bouillion the duke of Lorraine and a descendent of Charlemagne, who had also led the first crusade to re-capture Jerusalem; however these records state the order wasn’t established until 1099, which coincidentally is the same year Jerusalem was re-captured.
The Priest Francois Berenger Sauniere was the main component to both the Priory hoax and the mysteries connected to the Merovingians. After the re-construction of the mysterious church, Sauniere stood a strange statue of the demon Asmodeas, whom is known as the custodian of secrets, guardian of hidden treasures and according to ancient Judaic legends; he was the secret ally to King Solomon.
Over the church entrance he inscribed a Latin phrase that reads “terribilist est locus iste”, meaning “this place is terrible”. Some say he was losing his mind, but it seems he was actually making a reference to the words of the biblical figure Jacob in Genesis 28:17, when Jacob says “this is a terrible place”, when he realizes he had found the “gate of heaven”. Sauniere had also made powerful friends such as the Archduke Johann Von Habsburg, whom was the cousin of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph. In 1917 Sauniere died and a nearby priest was called to administer the last rites, but had refused to do so after hearing Sauniere’s death confession, which never was made public. Marie Denarnaud, Saunieres’ assistant also kept the secret, but towards the ending of her life, she had sold her home to a man whom she promised she would tell a secret that would make him both wealthy and powerful, but unfortunately she died of a stroke before she could pass the secret on.
The Angelic Society is a secret society behind many esoteric phenomena and movements including the mystery of Rennes-le-Château, the Priory of Sion, and the Thule Society. They had been a remake of The Compagnie du Saint-Sacrement also known as the Company of the Blessed Sacrament which was a French Catholic secret society which included among its members many Catholic celebrities of the 17th century. The rule of secrecy obliged members not to speak of the company to those who did not belong to it. New members were elected by the board and it was soon decided that no congréganiste, could be eligible. Matters of an especially delicate nature were not discussed at the weekly meetings, these being frequently attended by a hundred members, but were reserved for the investigation of the board. The company printed nothing and the keeping of written minutes was conducted with the utmost caution. There were fifty important branches outside of Paris, about thirty being unknown even to the bishops. It is believed that this society is responsibe for the transition of religion when old Christianity is replaced by the new Kaballistic Christianity claimed to be the true teachings of Jesus.
