The Tomb of Mrs God
The authors of The Tomb of God, Richard Andrews and Paul Schellenberger, have followed the clues in the decoded French phrases using local landmarks such as stone crosses, a hill whose altitude is 681, and vineyards of blue grapes as the blue apples. They interpret "the horse of God" to be the railroad tunnel and bridge. This is where the trigonometry comes in. Drawing lines on the parchments through letters which are slightly raised or of unique script, one would construct geometric forms of Tilted triangles and squares whose centers point to the secret location when aligned with the Paris Meridian or to the occult Rose Line.
Another possible interpretation of the number 681 is the year of the arrival of Sigisbert to Rennes-le-Cháteau: January 17, 681 A.D. Sigisbert was the son of Dagobert II. He and his descendants were the line of kings who never rules. The term "Blue Apples" could also describe the light coming through the Lazarus window, which shines on the opposite side of the interior as round blue shapes at midday, which translates "MIDI" in French. MIDI is also the name of the land in which the church lies. The phrase "I destroy this demon guardian" sounds like an exorcism. Some Eastern Orthodox churches begin every service with an exorcism.
On the cover stone on the grave of Marie de Negre Dables-the tombstone created by Saunière's predecessor Abbé Bigou - is a trigonomic map. Saunière defaced this stone because he thought that the phrase IN ARCADIA EGO in written in Greek was too revealing. Poussin's famous mystery painting The Shepherds of Arcadia II contains the same phrase from Virgil written in Latin. The painting was done 200 years before the tombstone was inscribed and is called a "Momento Mori" that is a meditation on mortality, a common artistic subject in the 17th century.
The words, which Virgil borrowed from the earlier Greek, translate to infer that Death exists even in the shepherds' earthly paradise. It literally reads, "Even in Paradise, I (exist) also." It is missing the verb. In similar paintings a skull rests on or near the tomb implying that it is Death who is speaking.
The authors of The Tomb of God add the verb "sum" (to be) and create an anagram rearranging the letters into another sentence, which they interpret to mean that it is Christ who is buried in the area and his grave is the hidden treasure and the great secret. That's a lot of code on the parchments and on the tombstone to decipher for it to come down to an anagram. Some scholars disregard the geometry because they disagree with the conclusions; yet their work as brilliant cryptographers stands even though their conclusion does not. It is not the Tomb of God but that of "Mrs. God" that is hidden on the side of a great mountain in the Languedoc. It is obvious in the painting by Poussin.
The Shepherds of Arcadia II is famous for the geometry that it contains. Pythagorean geometry was the secret language of the initiates and the cognoscenti of the l7th century. Rosicrucian literature coming from Germany had created a renewed interest in the Hermetic mysteries brought back from the Holy Land by the Knights Templar. Among the sciences revived at this time was Pythagorean geometry, which became a sign in art. It was a secret because practitioners of the forbidden subjects were being hunted down and killed by the Inquisition. When Sauniere made his trip to Paris, he went to the Louvre to obtain prints of the Poussin's The Shepherds of Arcadia II, the painter Teniers' St. Anthony and St. Paul, and a portrait of the Pope Celestine V all of which contain the geometry. Since Teniers painted several versions of St. Anthony, the phrase from the code determined which particular work was implied: Shepherdess (referring the figure in Poussin's painting) no Temptation…" The words "no Temptation" single out St. Anthony and St. Paul which is Teniers' only portrait of St. Anthony that does not contain the word "Temptation"' in the title.
