Synopsis

In the 13th century, the Church came down against the Cathars, who had settled in the French Pyrenees. The Cathars practiced a belief in which "perfects" acted as priests that educated their followers in a specific system of beliefs and who aided the believers in "dying consciously," which was also at the heart of ancient Egyptian belief systems. Both the Egyptians and the Cathars felt they had to "cheat" the cycle of reincarnation (the cycle of evil), and "ascend" to the world of light. In the 20th century, both local amateur archaeologists and German Nazis such as Otto Rahn became interested in Catharism and sent investigators to the region. The Germans specifically were searching for the Holy Grail. They uncovered the ancient sanctuaries of the Cathars -- often caves in perilous locations -- and found Egyptian artifacts in them: statues of the Egyptian gods. Was the Grail perhaps a sacred Egyptian artifact? One such researcher was Deodat Roche, nicknamed the Cathar Pope. As magistrate of Arques, he came across Egyptian relics scattered in his town which had been known as a major Cathar stronghold. he continued his researches further afield, in the heartland of the Cathars, where he learned how others, including a priest named Glory, had found an ancient Egyptian statue in a cave, which was the center of worship of the Cathars. After World War II, these findings were quickly destined to be forgotten, because of the Nazi connection. Hence, the truth of the Cathar religion could once again not be made public. For the first time, all the key ingredients will be pieced together, and the enigmatic relationship between the Cathars and the Templars highlighted.

Both were said to protect ‘the secret’, of such gigantic proportions that its nature has never been revealed. No member was able to divulge membership or what ‘the secret’ was, and when SauniŠre was questioned late in life: he remained silent.

Why’ On the surface, the church is like any other, but it has a hidden dimension, which has been successfully kept underneath the church lies a secret underground complex, hidden for more than 500 years in which not only a monetary treasure was located, but which was also a pagan religious site which was once placed under the control of the Templars.
