Rennes 2

I find this whole story of a modern myth developing out of old material

Quite fascinating.

Of course a lot of it is fiction.

The writers need to check their sources properly, and 

as a family historian i know that you can't make an assumption

Stand alone by itself. 

You have to get a number of pieces of complimentary evidence.

Then facts slot into place. 

The facts here seem to be very mixed.

Plantade and others placed a lot of dicuments in the Biblioteque Nationale,

And the authorities there themselves were very dubious about them.

The codes appear to have been devised by one of the conspirators, and 

Owe their origin to him, not to any factual material.

Apparently the quoted source book for the scripts on the tombstones come from a spurious source given in De Sede's book. 

A lot of work has been done from the days of Henry Lincoln's researches, 

Which i remember seeing as a kid, to add in the conspiracy on behalf

Of Plantade's royal ancestry as fact, and bringing in Christ 

And the Vatican into a bigger conspiracy.

But what prior to Plantade and Sede actually was real?

If this "Holy Grail" story originates out of people being misled by the conspiracy

Then what can be verified?

I have a number of questions. 

One is about the alleged "pentacle " geometry in the Poussin painting..

How much did the Poussin painting interest

 Phillipe de Cherisey, who was responsible for its complexities?

It obviously played a large part in his construction. 

What i wanted to know is why  the interest in this painting.

Lincoln goes to Shugburgh to see a weird inscription there associated

With a copy of the Poussin painting.

As Lincoln says surely this is a hard coincidence to take in.

This dates to 1748-63 according to Wiki.

That's worth a look, as it seems to suggest that there is 

After all something about Poussin.....
