This needs to be repeated again because the Rennes-le-Château Believer is more stubborn than a donkey. The obstinacy and resistance to basic common sense is only matched by the belief in Flying Saucers.

The wealth of Abbé Bérenger Saunière is ultimately meaningless. The wealth was generated by pockets of the French population that resisted the French Republic that did not respect the existence of the Church (the wealth was also generated from other countries that supported the French Church). This is the sum total of Abbé Bérenger Saunière. The notion that Abbé Saunière was some sort of Esoteric Grand Master who discovered the Meaning of Life will of course always be a more fascinating and more popular prospect, but this is Romance and not History.

It was the 1982 book “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” that was responsible for hilariously linking Rennes-le-Château and the wealth of Abbé Bérenger Saunière with Christian origins. The easiest thing that can be said about this nonsense is that the Genealogies within the Gospels themselves can never be substantiated as “historical”. Here AGAIN is presented the information missing from the book that demolishes the “Jesus Bloodline” fantasy.

The last king of Israel to be even considered of the Line of David was King Zedekiah, who was killed with his children when Nebuchadnezzer II of Babylon captured Jerusalem in 586BC. When the Jewish Monarchy was re-instated during the Greek Period in Israel the Maccabees/Hasmoneans claimed to be of the Tribe of Levi.

Some Jewish scholars doubt the very existence of the Line of David, like for example Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman, who dispute the relevance of the Tel Dan Stele – which inscription is too vague to interpret as referring to a Line of David. Bart Ehrman refuses to use the same approach to a historical Jesus Christ as he does to King David. This needs to be pointed out: Scholars' refusal to dismiss the notion of a Mythical Jesus Christ is based simply on the long standing tradition that the “Historical Jesus Christ” is too well embedded and fossilised within society and Leaders of Governments use the Historical Jesus Christ as a Badge – their very going to Church during Easter and Christmas would become pointless otherwise (far too symbolic gesture from them). But the argument against hallucinogenic origins cannot be ruled-out because the same hallucinogens also exist in the Old Testament – it's just that Christianity attempted a reinterpretation of Judaism that was rejected by Traditional Judaism, ultimately becoming responsible for the existence of anti-Semitism and the Capital of Christianity becoming the Vatican in Rome and not in Jerusalem.

All other arguments relating to anything else are usually twisted – or logical fallacies – to justify the existence of a “mystery” (really Denialism).
