An interesting read - Rated
I read this book shortly after it was published around the time that I was reading similar titles. Although this book offers a fascinating insite and often, to many people a complete expose of the architectural, historial and artistic anomalies that exist, the authors come to many dull conclusions and seem to lack a thorough knowledge of the true intentions behind Masonry and other secret groups. This book is an excellent introduction to those new to the subject and is highly recommended as a beginners guide which will introduce you to new debates, nomenclature, locations et al on the subject. I would recommend people check out 'Theatre Earth- Who Pulls the Strings' by R.Henry instead.

Well researched shocking revelation for the Church! - Rated
Absolutely superb!

Meticulously researched material resulting in a shocking revelation for the Church! Well done Picknett & Prince!

There's a mountain of information in this work and even having just re-read it, I still feel I could read it again immediately; to me a sign of a good book!

I would recommend reading this BEFORE The Sion Revelation(although not a requirement) as it contains information that will help you in some areas of Sion Revelation.

It's a revelation. - Rated
Absolutely fascinating and well written. If you are a devout follower of the Bible and any challenge to its historical accuracy is blasphemous than this is not the book for you. However, if you are open minded and adaptable to reason then give the book a chance - even if you challenge aspects of it afterwards.

The book is educational, entertaining and thought provoking.

Thorough research and a few leaps - Rated
This book, apart form being on a bookshelf in a scene in Brown's book and undoubtedly part of his research, is the more serious side.

Picknett and Prince are thorough researchers. They are passionate about it too, and don't make things up. They have trawled through volumes of text and approached real places like the wonderful Rennes le Chateau with incisive methodology.

In doing so, this volumes in definitely enlightening and a recent second read of it proved neccesary and worthwhile. The detail and theory about religious history and the life of Jesus Christ are thought provoking and revealing.

You can't present this research without making some kind of conclusions, and the theories they end up on are criticised as leaps of faith. They aren't; they are unproven, but as with all theories, someone has to present their belief before they are proven. This criticism is therefore a bit harsh.

I was going to give this four, but as I can't see what ielse it needs to get 5, 5 is fair. If you're looking for something shocking and exciting, read a fictional book. This is a meticulous and sometimes over detailed historical search.

Jumping to Conclusions - Reader Beware - Rated
Personally, I'm not quite sure what to make of this book, other to say that the writers seem to have quite vivid imaginations.

My personal moto is that people tend to "smear what they fear," particularly what they do not understand, especially when the subject relates to Christ, His Life & Resurrection, which has been predicted by Moses, the Prophets, the Egyptians and the Greeks. Yet those whom lack spirituality and/or faith, tend to twist and turn certain religious events into misleading representations of their own rationalizations of disbelief, or hatred upon others. I'm actually rather curious, as to whether the authors themselves are not part of the underground occult they make mention of.

As the authors of this book, question the bible, I too question their writings, as well as the information of their so-called notable historians they mention, whose aim it seems is also to sway the audience into all sorts of trumped up masonic conclusions, which again seem notoriously geared towards making the reader question their belief in Christ and the mysteries of His Life. Therefore, before jumping to any new conclusions, anyone currently reading this book, ought to take good care as to how they sift through the imaginations of what the authors have written is actually concrete. For me it is another book casting shadows based on heresay and not via experience.

The answers of life's mysteries will come to those seekers whom are sincere in their quest and hearts.
