The French Believers have universally ignored “The Map and the Manuscript” by Simon Miles. His book belongs to the readership of the English Language. The French also generally accept anything and everything that is going – witness the [equally gullible] “relevance” of Arsène Lupin!

Simon Miles is unable to prove definitively beyond any shadow of a doubt any of his claims – and the scribbles he draws on the map that he subjectively imbues with his personal significance – can also be drawn on all maps all over the world that can equally be just as much personally significant to other people. The material of the “Priory of Sion” that is used as “evidence” is as much laughable as it is embarrassing.

The Holy Place, Genisis: The First Book of Revelations, The Tomb of God, The Treasure Maps of Rennes-le-Château, The Key To The Sacred Pattern x 2. Get your Spirograph out, folks!

All that is required is the endorsement of “The Map and the Manuscript” by any serious and scholarly archaeological society. That's all.

Of course there are people who believe in this sort of thing because it's addiction to pseudo-babble; all that people need to do is to access the Amazon Books website to see just how popular this stuff is. We are overwhelmed by such a growing body of literature that only signifies Escapism from Reality.
