From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message from M. Dagobert: I will try to answer quickly to Jack: - The role of Poussin: he was a very talented painter, born in the Andelys in Normandy and had been initiated to the mysteries of the merovingian dynasty. - If you read well "the story of the Francs" by Gregoire de Tours, you will see that after the victory of Clovis over the wisigoth kindom, most of his sons and after, including Childeric III, got married with wisigoth princesses who brought in the marriage a huge treasure. It is well sure that that richess in real metal came from the famous treasure that Alaric !st brought back from Rome in 410. It is not a legend since the Arch of Triumph of Titus in Rome mention the treasure of Jerusalem that he himself took from the Jews in 73 AD. - I do not think that there was a link between the original Priory of Sion and the free-masonry that did not exist at that time, except under the form of companions, which means operative free-masonry/ - Sauniere probabbly did not find any important treasure in Rennes-le- Chateau except the one of Abbe Bigou. - However, he read the archives of the general Dagobert and of the Philadelphes from Narbonne thanks to his brother Alfred. - Behind the conspiration, there is of course the Opus Dei that already supported general France against the spanish republicans. - Of course, the religious influences are very important in the story through the Vatican with the help of the Opus Dei qhich looks for the restauration of the Germanic Roman Holy Empire with the olf european families under the supervision of the Habsbourg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, or to change your subscription to digest, go to the ONElist web site, at http://www.onelist.com and select the User Center link from the menu bar on the left.
