Book Description:

In 1982, Henry Lincoln, along with colleagues Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, published Holy Blood, Holy Grail, which became an immediate international best-seller. It investigated Rennes-le-Chateau, a small town in southwestern France where, in the late nineteenth century, village priest Berenger Sauniere's discovery of a series of parchments led in turn to a large but cursed treasure that challenged many traditional Christian beliefs - including the possibility that Jesus' bloodline still exists. The treasure's story moved back through history to the Crusades, the origins of the Knights Templar, and the Virgin Birth itself. In The Holy Place, Lincoln reveals through further surveys, decoding, and analysis that this area in southwest France is the site of a Christian holy place of enormous size and importance. - from the back cover
