The Tomb Of God

Dissatisfied with the explanations of previous researchers, Richard Andrews and Paul Schellenberger applied mathematical logic to the enduring mystery of Rennes-le-Château and the “treasure” alleged to be buried there. Beginning with a healthy skepticism, they assumed the enigma would wither under scrutiny. The quest began with an investigation into the activities of a group of 19th-century priests, but as the trail was pursued, it became apparent that the mystery’s scope stretched far beyond the mountains of southern France. A series of paintings, maps, and tombstones pointed to one very specific location. The authors combined their knowledge of archaeology, theology, and surveying to produce a startling account of what they believe to be the true events surrounding the burial of Jesus.
