Good research, interesting topics, dragged on a bit
Although everyone will believe what they want, the book has put some good research together and some different twists to suggest that Priory de Sion hold some explosive information. However, if it was that explosive why hasn't it been revealed. I enjoyed the book, but was lost from time to time on where it was going.

Twisting the thought process
Enjoyed the audio of this book immensely although factual dates did distract sometimes from what was being said. Having said that it was a great listen and recommend it.

interesting but a hard read
interesting but a hard read. lots of names and dates to remember mostly French.
despite that is tantalizingly mysterious. hypothesis is very plausible. The authors have clearly researched thoroughly. brush up on your French geneology though.

Tome of Supreme Excellence
Perfect narration of what could be a dry subject for afficionados only. Sadly all these authors are now dead, but their detailed pre-internet research will echo in eternity. No quality researchers have taken their place so do not expect any similar books any time soon.
Truth is always stranger than fiction; these researchers made the best efforts possible, but "arks" and "bloodlines" have an electrical field and it is to science we must go for further answers. Fellow researcher/author Laurence Gardner made extensive studies of ORMEs and MFKT; sadly he is now dead too. His reporting of what was found by Sir Flinders Petrie at Mount Serabit el-Khadim is astounding. They found an Egyptian Temple devoted to Hathor. It seems the word worship derives from workshop. At Serabit el-Khadim the artificers made the white powder gold: ORMEs (artifacts now in the Petrie museum in London). It was made into pyramid shaped cakes to be fed to the pharoah! There are many depictions of this sacrement (sacre = blood) on temple walls. At Dendara, the Temple of Hathor, where pharoahs were birthed, ORMEs was mixed with starfire before consumption. There is a strange area external, and rarely visited of the main temple with the symbol of the circle with a cross on the walls. (Some call the adjacent area a church due to the crosses, but it's possible the blood/wine drinking originates here). There is a strange stone "chair/throne" with an area underneath clearly for someone to sit to collect the starfire from the source? It is intriguing to contemplate. Some now think Serabit el-Khadim is the actual Moses mountain. It gives another insight into the gifts brought by the Magi to the Christ: gold, frankinsense and myrth, all agents used in healing in modern days.
I have been lucky to travel extensively in France in the areas mentioned, in Egypt, Greece, Sicily and in Israel with the paperback of this and other such books in my luggage, so happy now to have it as an aduiobook on my Kindle. I disagree with the book's final hypothesis, but it was the base for a fun movie The Davinci Code.
GREAT BOOK
