Sailing and Grailing over the Atlantic

The most unconventional chapter in the tale of Rennes-le-Chateau may have to do with the Money Pit secret on Oak Island just off Nova Scotia. According to Michael Bradley, some of the custodians of the Grail may have come to the New World long before Christopher Columbus. (Key proof: acorns do not float, he notes.) He believes that some of the Templars may have flew to Canada after the dissolution of their order, bearing the Holy Grail. (The Money Pit has more often been affiliated with pirates’ buried treasure, but as many know, the “Jolly Roger” flag’s skull-and-crossbones icon has long been affiliated with Masonic and Templar legend.) The supposed Venetian Zeno Map of the 15th century shows a knight with a sword standing where Nova Scotia is. (The Sinclairs of Scotland are “hereditary lords of Rosslyn Chapel” and are said to be derived from the Scots Guards, a clique truehearted to the Stuart dynasty, which in turn are believed to have contained converted members of the Templar Order who fought with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, and to have provided the basis of Freemasonry). In the Money Pit on Oak Island, a mystical stone inscription was found: “FORTY FEET BELOW TWO MILLION POUNDS ARE BURIED“. Every company that has attempted to locate this treasure has failed. One writer has even recently speculated that the site was the burial place of an Arif, or Coptic Christian holy person from the 5th century.
Along with the supposed visits of Prince Madoc of Wales and St. Brendan of Ireland, Prince Henry the Navigator’s trip to the New World with the Zeno brothers makes it one of numerous European pre-columbian voyages. The Zeno Map, along with those culled by Viking travellers, may have even helped Christopher Columbus make his way over the Atlantic Ocean (More than one writer has guided to Columbus’ possible Judaic heritage, and the ways in which “messianism” pervades his ideas on the discovery). Recently, a unidentified flying object “contactee” in Canada who calls himself only “Guardian” speculated wildly about some “Brotherhood of the Grail” being operative there for centuries. Geographically speaking, there are in fact two Oak Islands, surrounding a central river, at the confluence of which is a mysterious ruin, which appears to be a fortress or old castle. It does appear that there may be chains connecting Rennes-le-Chateau and the New World. Ultimately, the Rosicrucian thoughts behind the American experiment (as documented by Manly Palmer Hall) may have abstruser “Arcadian” roots. Bradley hints, but does not come out and say, that what is beneath the Money Pit may be the Holy Grail.

It is not the only weird trail in the Rennes enigma. One researcher insists that the inventor Barnes Wallis was one of the most recent Grand Masters of Sion. Yet another feels it is worth following the origins of the Cajun people of Louisiana. Another current theory is that Johann Salvator, the young Hapsburg prince, finding his political ambitions repelled, may have sailed west and discovered the mysterious underground tunnels and lost cities of South America which so fascinated Col. Perry Fawcett. Others have even found
Associations to the supposed “Baconian” theory, which suggests that Sir Francis Bacon authored Shakespeare’s plays. Bacon’s works suggest a Rosicrucian experiment taking place in the New World. Fanthorpe seems to believe that ultimately Rennes-le-Chateau may be a “doorway unto the unseeable” - a gateway to other dimensions, through the Emerald Tablet, which he speculates may have been a tesseract (3-dimensional representation of a 4-dimensional figure) - or a place to reach Gaia itself. The Visigothic kingdom of Rhedae was in the region, and the Visigoths are acknowledged to have seized at least some portion of the treasure of the Temple (taken by the Romans during the Jewish Revolt of 70 CE) when they sacked Rome in the 5th century CE. Could that treasure have been the Ark of the Covenant, concealed at Rennes? As an alternative, the Copper Scroll of the Dead Sea sect (the Qumran Essenes) suggested some of the Temple treasure was buried before the Roman invasion. Could the “Nestorian” Christians of the region have concealed the Ark, and given it to the Templars for guardianship? Or could it have been hidden in Solomon’s Stables underneath the Mosque of Omar, where the Templars are known to have excavated? Might the Ark have been the item “smuggled” away by two Cathars under highly dangerous conditions right before their brethren fell at Montsegur? The Ark may not have been an extraterrestrial “power source,” as some writers have claimed, but if it is the possession of Sion, it is an explosive secret, to say the least. Sion has claimed that they have items “which will be brought back to the regime of Israel, when the time is right“. Is the Holy Grail in fact the Ark under a new guise?
