In that case it should be easy to find but will be impossible I guess. There aren't many abouve-ground tombeaus in the vincinity. That one at Les Pontils f.i. can't be the one Sauniere had found as it was built in 1903.

Sept 21. lettre de Granes. découverte d'un tombeau, le soir pluie.

you have quoted me out of context, as is your want.

Last try:

1. Découverte d'un tombeau = discovery of a tombeau - and no, it may NOT mean "to uncover". Découverte is a NOUN (it would be different if he would have written "un tombeau découvert". BUT he has written it as a noun. Sorry.

2. Out of the whole entry made for the 21 Sep one CANNOT read whether S discovered it or somebody else.

I wouldn't give much credence to the story in regards to the date of the tomb. Imho the entire story was a ploy to keep people away from the area.

Coincidence Right?

"Before all else, I denounce and contest, that you shall observe no sacrilegious pagan customs. For no cause or infirmity should you consult magicians, diviners, sorcerers or incantators, or presume to question them because any man who commits such evil will immediately lose the sacrament of baptism. Do not observe auguries or violent sneezing or pay attention to any little birds singing along the road. If you are distracted on the road or at any other work, make the sign of the cross and say your Sunday prayers with faith and devotion and nothing inimical can hurt you. No Christian should be concerned about which day he leaves home or which day he returns because God has made all days. No influence attaches to the first work of the day or the [phase of the] moon; nothing is ominous or ridiculous about the Calends of January. [Do not] make [figures of?] vetulas, little deer or iotticos or set tables at night or exchange New Years' gifts or supply superfluous drinks. No Christian believes impurity or sits in incantation, because the work is diabolic. No Christian on the feast of Saint John or the solemnity of any other saint performs solestitia [solstice rites?] or dancing or leaping or diabolical chants. No Christian should presume to invoke the name of a demon, not Neptune or Orcus or Diana or Minerva or Geniscus or believe in these inept beings in any way. No one should observe Jove's day in idleness without holy festivities not in May or any other time, not days of larvae or mice or any day but Sunday. No Christian should make or render any devotion to the gods of the trivium, where three roads meet, to the fanes or the rocks, or springs or groves or corners."

I presume what you find interesting is that 400 divided by 247 is 1.619433, whereas the Golden Section is 1.618033...??

"François Béranger Saunière, Priest at: Aude, town of Rennes."
These works were entitled:

1) "the Prophecy of the Popes allotted to S. Malachy". By Joseph Main.
2) "History of the Large Forests of Gaule and Old France". By L.F. Alfred ©.
3) "Celtic Monuments. Or Research on the Worship of the Stones. Preceded by a note on the Celts and Druids, and followed Celtic etymologies ". By Mr. Camby.

“Two contrary desires share my heart, glory to publish all that at the great day, and to jealously keep this treasure without ever saying anything. My whole life needs to hesitate and I awake in the same moment that I die….. By the celibacy which is imposed on them the priests are the best guards of treasures than one can conceive…..A priest, because it is concerned [with] Sky and Earth, must meditate on the relationships of astronomy with the geography…..With the difference in the phenomena which should be seen to believe, Cromleck of RLB [Rennes les Bains] is seen only when one believes in it, nothing is really proven there, not even the roulers or hones it posed which will appear readily to the whims of nature.”

Yes those Druids were busy people speaking the true Celtic language and creating Le Cromleck de France

Of course the Church tried to rub all this out.

Meticulous our favourite Curé wasn't he n 'est-ce pas?

Saunière writes Metairie...when it should be Métairie with an accent.
He also wrote recolte...when it should be récolte with an accent.
He writes Medecin without an accent and Médecin with an accent.

...no Saunière wasn't meticulous...i gave you some examples.



...and lest we forget, Mr Wilkinson's bits of paper that Team Hammott took out of the bottles had Saunière's signature written with the accent the other way round ! ....so either Saunière couldn't spell his own name properly or whoever hoaxed the bottle contents couldn't read what they were meant to be forging....

As well as writing médecin...Saunière also wrote medecin...that's a fact, just like the other examples i gave you...i have no axe to grind, just stating it as it is.

its like trying to teach a pig to tap dance

its like trying to teach a pig to tap dance

Saunière wrote in his journal M. Vic. Gen. Cros, relat. au service de Granes .........which actually means Monsieur Vicaire Général Cros, relatif au service de Granes.

....that example contains abbreviations and lack of accents and that is a fact.
