- Synopsis:
The Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau has inspired treasure hunts, theories about the origins of Christianity and the bestselling novel and film 'The Da Vinci Code'. The mystery concerns Berenger Sauniere, the 19th century priest of an impoverished hilltop village in southern France who became immensely wealthy after apparently finding ancient parchments hidden in his church. Although the secret of the source of his money died with him, he left behind enigmatic clues that have puzzled researchers ever since. In this documentary programme, Stewart Ferris, author of 'The Key to The Da Vinci Code', explores Rennes-le-Chateau searching for clues that reveal the origins of Sauniere's fortune. Bestselling authors Henry Lincoln, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince also contribute their latest theories on the subject. - Studio:
