From Rennes-le-Château to Perillos

Society seeks mystery and many novelists (Gérard de Sède, Dan Brown et so many others) take advantage of it allying legend, fiction and reality in a malicious balance.   André Douzet has been fascinated by the enigma of Rennes-le-Château for more than forty years and that slide show gives us an idea of the fruit of his researches and particularly his recent discovery.

According to the author, Abbé Béranger Sauniere ordered at the end of her life a phantasmagorical model representing the Golgotha, the Holy Sepulcher: the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and the tomb of the Christ: two tombs?  What value to give to that "coded testament" and that abbot?
The problem raised by André Douzet is: if we reverse that model, it represents  very precisely the small Périllos village, located at sixty kilometers from Rennes-le-Château.  And the precise place, describes implicitly by Saunière, contains two tombs: one has been desecrated, the other remains "under seal".

What relations did the Périllos had - grand masters of the order of Malta according to the author - at that time when their earths hesitated between the crown of Catalonia and France and what interpretation of the The Last Supper, to give to the painting they ordered to Nicolas Poussin ?









What does that tomb represent? A secret? A relic? Even if it were empty, would we be in presence of an "invisible treasure"?
Why did Malraux, when he was interested to that question, named that secret file:  "Lazare"? Is there a link with the yearly marches of the Knights of Jerusalem in the streets of Perpignan?
For what reasons does that "priest history" still attract, fifty years after his discovery?
