The Tomb of God; The Body of Jesus And the Solution To A 2000-Year Old Mystery
Little Brown & Co London 1996. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Good Condition/Good.

Pale yellow coloured boards with metallic copper titles to the backstrip. Illustrated dustwrapper with metallic copper and black titles to the front panel and backstrip. At the rear of the book there is a foldout map showing the reported tomb of God in France. It began as an intriguing piece of puzzle-solving - and ended with the discovery of the greatest secret of all. Dissatisfied with the explanation of previous researchers the authors applied mathematical logic to the enduring mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau and the "Treasure" alleged to be buried there. They were sceptical. They assumed the enigma would wither under such scrutiny. It did not. The trail for the search for the tomb of the Messiah leads from Calvary to a small group of priests in 19th century France. The authors investigate the unexplained wealth of a village priest his anomalous activities and a strange murder. They then analyzed the hidden geometric clues in famous paintings and archaic maps which they contend pinpoint the location of the tomb of Christ. some rubbing of the top edge of the dustjacket with moisture damage to the inside of the top edge of dustjacket and a watermark to the left-hand edge of the rear panel.
