EVIDENCE OF A MYSTERY OR MYSTERIOUS EVIDENCE? By ANDREW GOUGH June 2006 The mystery of Rennes-le-Château is predicated on two primary elements; (1) the Priory Documents and (2) the Archaeology & Artefacts of the legend. Let’s take a closer look at each and reflect on what they tell us. The Priory Documents are a collection of papers, clippings, and genealogies that were deposited in the French National Library (Bibliothèque Nationale) between 1964 and 1967. Essentially, the documents comprise the essence of what we know about the legendof Rennes-le-Château. They also provide considerable insight into our understanding of the Priory of Sion. Put another way; if the Priory Documents did not exist, nor would the legend of Rennes-le-Château. So what do we know about the documents? For a start, their authenticity is extremely questionable. Not only are the documents difficult to corroborate with other historical sources, but equally worrying, the identities of those who authored and deposited them in the French National Library appears entirely fraudulent. In fact, most were deceased by the time the Priory document was authored. In several instance, the would-be author never existed in the first place. What better way to ensure that someone does not object to being entwined in the story? The following is a summary of the primary Priory Documents: (click on link to view)
