Discover the mythology and the secrets hidden behind centuries of conspiracies, with the bestselling book that started a literary genre revolution: The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Summary of the Book The Church and the Bible are vocal about the story of Jesus Christ. Why, then, are there such gaping holes in the stories they present? Did Christ really die on the cross? What is this Holy Grail that kings and knights have been searching for? Is it really the Chalice that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper? Or is it a metaphor for something less tangible? In this book, the authors explain that there is a secret society called the Priory of Sion which has long since been protecting a dangerous truth. Its leaders included Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton. One of the Priory’s most famous teams is the Knights Templar, and it had one sole purpose: the reinstitution of the Merovingian dynasty that had claimed it descended from the tribe of Benjamin. The authors reveal that the claim was only half the truth. The dynasty had a greater preceptor, one who was considered to have died a bachelor. They explain that the Holy Grail was indeed something else, the very bloodline of Jesus Christ.
