 On 29th May, an unknow French researcher published a photo of the Death Certificate of Antoine Bigou on the forum of Le Rendez-Vous des Chercheurs. According to the document, the priest Bigou died on 20th March 1794 in the town of Collioure on the French Mediterranean shore. This news means a major breakthrough in the research of the Mystery of Rennes-le-Château. Bigou was the death bed confessor of Marie de Blanchefort who allegedly told him a great secret, to be re-discovered by Father Saunière of Rennes-le-Château more than 100 years later. Until now, Bigou was believed to have died in exile in the Spanish town of Sabadell, where many local priests fled after the French Revolution took charge of their churches.

 Celebrity spoon-bender Uri Geller has bought a tiny Scottish island he believes has links to the pyramids at Giza and the Knights Templar. Geller paid £30,000 for The Lamb, an uninhabited lump of volcanic rock in the Firth of Forth. He claimed he felt a "strong instinctive urge" to buy it after reading it was for sale. The self-proclaimed mystifier said he is convinced the island is one of the most significant sites in the UK. The Lamb is the middle of three rocky islands, the others being Craigleith and Fidra - which are said to mirror the layout of the pyramids at Giza, in Egypt. "This island has links not only to the pyramids, but to King Arthur, King Robert the Bruce and to the ancient Kings of Ireland too," Geller added.
