Dean,
The rumour that there is a tunnel into the HE from Rennes-le-Chateau is
something I read about separately from the Cathars story. However, the
Cathars were known to have a great treasure, which supported them through 40
years of persecution by Simon de Montfort's army, which had been
commissioned by the Pope. Could it be that the treasure was excavated or
gathered from an exploration into the hollow earth?
A priest who apparently uncovered this treasure in the 1700s spent millions
(no exaggeration) on renovating his parish and other eccentricities. It's a
long tale so I will paste my summary of the first 2 chapters that I sent to
a friend here. I'm afraid the mystery has never been solved, but so many
European nobility seemed to befriend this lowly priest who uncovered
whatever he did that his discovery warrants interest. Further, the Cathars
who dwelt in the whole area of southern France were so fiercely convinced of
an alternative view of God and defended their secrets to the death. It
naturally inclines one to believe they had some kind of verification from an
authoritative source.
Here is my pasted summary of the 1st 2 chapters of Holy Blood, Holy Grail.
"
What is most interesting is that the Cathars, who
inhabited the Langudoc region of Southern France, were believers, but
departed from strict adherence to the Catholic Church. They preferred a
direct relationship with God and rejected intermediaries eg vatican
appointed priests. They also refused to pay tithes, which is another reason
the Pope detested them. They believed in a duality of existence and two
Gods: a kind God representing love or AMOR as they called Him; and another
called REX MUNDI, the god of evil, who was responsible for material creation
and power. They believed a perpetual war was waged throughout creation
between good and evil, light and darkness.
The Cathars were so passionate about their beliefs that they were wiped out
by the Pope in what is called the Albigensian crusade. 30 000 Christians
were wiped out by a Vatican approved North European army led by Simon de
Montfort. The pillage of the Languedoc region lasted 40 years. I have
reached Chapter Two, where it tells of the final assault on Montsegur a
mountain fortress where the remaining Cathars held out against the enemy for
10 months. At the very end, refusing to confess their sins (heresies) in
order to be granted amnesty and life, 200 "parfaits" (equivalent of priests,
though with no hierarchy) were burned in a single wooden cage. This, despite
the fact that 50 years earlier St Bernard, at the time orthodox
Chrisatianity's foremost spokesman, had journeyed to Languedoc intending to
preach against the heretics. When he arrived, he was less appalled by the
Cathars than by the corruption of his own Church. Instead he was impressed
by the heretics: "No sermons are more Christian than theirs," he declared,
"and their morals are pure."
This whole investigative story revolves around the Rennes-le-chateau links
to the Christ trail, "holy grail", ark of the covenant. What is intriguing
is that the Cathars obviously knew something we don't and that has been kept
secret all these years. A priest called Sauniere, who was appointed as a
priest in Rennes-le-chateau, eventually uncovered a secret, most likely from
the Cathars, which initially made the Vatican treat him with kid gloves. The
Cathars who had holed up at Montsegur had smuggled out a huge treasure in
January 1244 and then history records that on March 16th, the night after
200 of their fellows had been killed, 4 Cathar parfaits who had been
smuggled out by sympathetic enemy troops (sympathetic because they were
locals) made an escape down the mountainside by rope, with something else
they wanted to hide from the enemy. It could not have been heavy, due to the
perilous journey.
Sauniere uncovered ancient parchments with coded messages during his term in
Rennes-le-chateau, which he showed to the Priory of Sion in Paris.
Thereafter, this lowly poor priest spent several MILLIONS renovating his
parish and the whole village, building a luxurious country home, received
the Archduke of Hapsburg at his church and began to erect weird statues and
inscriptions in his church. Important other dignitaries began to visit him
and when the Vatican tried to relocate him, he refused! And they backed
down. Which is amazing.
What is really eerie is that Sauniere met a great artist called Nicolas
Poussin who thereafter painted a famous picture that depicts a tomb with
encrypted words inscribed on it ET IN ARCADIA EGO. The anagram has been
deciphered to read I TEGO ARCANA DEI - Begone! I conceal the secrets of God.
In 1656 Poussin was visited by the Abbe Fouquet, brother of Nicolas Fouquet,
superintendent of finances to Louis XIV of France.Abbe Fouquet wrote about
this meeting with Poussin to his brother Nicolas: "He and I discussed
certain things... things which shall give you, through Monsieur Poussin,
advantages which even Kings would have great pains to draw from him, and
things which, according to him, it is possible that nobody else will ever
rediscover in the centuries to come. And what is more, these things are so
difficult to discover that nothing now on this Earth can prove of better
fortune, nor be their equal."
Well, shortly after receiving this letter, Nicolas Fouquet was imprisoned
for life and held incommunicado. Meanwhile, the whole of his correspondence
was confiscated by Louis XIV who inspected it personally. In the following
years the king went out of his way to obtain the original painting by
Poussin - "Les Bergeres d'Arcadie" - and placed it in his private apartments
at Versailles. This painting depicts 3 shepherds and a sheperdess
surrounding a tomb, contemplating the inscription ET IN ARCADIA EGO. In the
background looms a rugged mountainscape. In the 1970s an actual tomb was
discovered in a village called Arques, just 6 miles from Rennes-le-Chateau.
The setting, proportions etc are an exact match to the one in the painting,
even to the replication of a rocky outcrop on which one shepherd rests his
foot. If there was an inscription, it has been weathered away. The villagers
stated that the tomb had been there in their parents' and grandparents'
times and its presence was recorded in a memoir dated 1709.
What is really weird is that after flighting a BBC documentary about this
matter, The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem in 1972, the three authors received a
letter from an Anglican priest who stated that the "treasure" was not
monetary, but consisted of "incontrovertible proof" that the Crucifixion was
a fraud and Jesus was alive as late as 45 A.D. (Interestingly, the Cathars
did not believe in the Crucifixion, but practised some mysterious recorded
ceremony on March the 14th. When the attacking army gave them an ultimatum
at Montsegur on March 1st, 1244, they were told they could live if they
recanted their beliefs. The Cathars asked for 2 weeks to consider the offer.
It seems that whatever was smuggled out on March the 16th was needed for the
14th to practise their religious ceremony. Else they would have removed it
in January. After holding their ceremony they were prepared to die. When all
they had to do was renounce their faith.
The story comes full circle, with the Anglican priest's reluctance to
elaborate on his shocking statement to the authors, but he finally admitted
that he was told the "incontrovertible proof" by another Anglican cleric,
Canon Alfred Leslie Lilley. When the authors investigated Lilley's
background they discovered he had maintained close ties with the Catholic
Modernist movement at Saint Sulpice, Paris. (the feast day of Saint Sulpice
coincidentally is January 17th - St Anthony's Day too - and it was on this
day that Sauniere suffered a stroke, although his housekeeper had ordered
his coffin on January 12th. This sounds like Cludo!!!!!) Saint Sulpice was
where Sauniere had taken his discovery and admitted it to the inspection of
Abbe Bieil and Emile Hoffet. In his youth Canon Lilley had worked in Paris
and had made an aquaintance with Emile Hoffet.
That's as far as I have read. The next chapter (3) deals with the Knights
Templar, who apparently play a significant role in this story. "

Nikki,
I wasn't aware of any European, middle ages book which talks of the hollow
Earth. Does it offer any information, or just a mention or two?
