A "Holy Blood-Holy Grail" tie-in story, The Golzel Stones
In 1927, a subterranean chamber in France was discovered, accidentally, by a cow. Full of mysterious artefacts, some of them Neolithic, the find was an enigma. Was it a mediæval magician’s store, a Templar treasure house or something even more mysterious? Patricia and Lionel Fanthorpe revisit one of their earliest investigations.
Glozel lies very close to the imposing ruins of the 13th century Château Montgilbert, built at the time of Templar ascendancy in France. Only two or three days’ swift ride to the south is Rennes-le-Château – citadel of many unsolved historical mysteries – with its fabled Arcadian Treasure and controversial Templar and Cathar connections. An astonishing series of real (but admittedly tenuous) connections could link the mysterious Glozel artefacts with the legendary treasure of Rennes and with the Oak Island Money Pit mystery off the coast of Nova Scotia. This would unite three of the most intriguing enigmas of all time.
Whatever the treasure of Rennes-le-Château may eventually turn out to be, more than a quarter of a century’s research and site investigation have convinced us that it has nothing whatever to do with Jesus of Nazareth. Neither is there a shred of truth in the romantic, sensational, but ever-popular ‘bloodline’ theories involving St Mary Magdalene and the old French Merovingian Dynasty. The treasure of Rennes-le-Château is probably something far older than our Christian era. In order to bring the flickering torch of theory into the gloom of the underground chamber on the Fradin farm at Glozel, it is necessary to go back a very long way indeed.
