description: While other researchers strive to guess the meanings of paintings by such masters as Poussin, Leonardo and others, Peter Blake has reached very different conclusions. Other researchers have linked the paintings to the mysteries surrounding the French village of Rennes-le-Chateau, but Blake, from the recurrent geometrical themes found in key paintings of both Poussin and Leonardo, has overlayed the grids he found there on maps of Languedoc to pinpoint a never-before-discovered hill tomb. If the clues that have led him this far are right, this could be the final resting place of two of the most significant people talked about in the Bible. Through following the trail by which Blake found the tomb, the text unravels a rich cloth of learning and religion spun in secrecy over the centuries, and uncover the true identity of a host of historical characters, all party to the secret of the ciphers.
