*In 1956, an order calling itself the "Prieure de Sion" or "Priory of Sion, registered itself publicly for
the first time with the French government. Sion is French for Zion. (bk-2,46)
   *In 1982, the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion was a man named Pierre Plantard. (bk-3)
   *The most important documents discovered by the authors concerning the Priory of Sion came
from the Grand Lodge Alpina, the Supreme Mother Lodge of Switzerland. These documents, called
"The Dossiers Secret" told of a Catholic Priest named Berenger Saunier, who was also a Freemason.
Saunier had joined a Rosicrucian order that was founded in 1873. On June 1st, 1885, Saunier was
posted to a little parish in the tiny village church of Rennes le Chateau in Southern France. Eight
centuries earlier in 1059, the village of Rennes le Chateau was consecrated to Mary Magdelene, the
Patron Saint of Southern France.
   At the time of Saunier's assignment, the church was in need of repair and in 1891, Saunier
attempted to restore it. At this time he discovered four parchments preserved in sealed wooden tubes.
Two of these parchments are said to have comprised Genealogies, one dating from 1244 and the
other from 1644. (bk-1-33,197)
   *These parchments contained a list of the Grand Masters of both the Knights Templar and the
Priory of Sion, as well as a history of the Merovingian bloodline. The heading of one of the documents
was in cipher. When translated it read "To Dagobert II King and to Sion belongs this Treasure and he
is there dead". (bk-2,48)
   *According to the tenets of the Priory of Sion, Jesus Christ did not die, but merely pretended to die,
was taken from the cross and stolen from the tomb and was believed to have married Mary
Magdelene, and even produced children. They claim that when the Romans destroyed the Temple at
Jerusalem in 70 A.D., that Magdelene fled with her sacred children by boat across the Mediterranean
to France. She then found refuge in a Jewish community. Future generations of her offspring were
said to have married into the Royal Frankish family and by the fifth century produced a King. His
name was Merovee. He was the first in a series of Kings called the Merovingian bloodline. It is said
that the offspring of Merovee were noted for a birth-mark above their heart, a small "Red Cross".
This symbol eventually became the emblem of the Guardians of the Grail. (bk-4)
