More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In 1934 part of a Van Eyck masterpiece was somehow stolen from Ghent Cathedral. It has never been found. In this book, Dutch author Karl Hammer reports the amazing story told to him by Tom R., an art historian who as a very young man was enlisted to spy for the CIA and MI5 during the Second World War in order to trace the whereabouts of the vast horde of fine art stolen by the Nazis. His search for the missing altarpiece, the sacred panel, led to the greater and more compelling quest for the Arma Christi, the nails and crown of thorns of Jesus crucifixion. The reader is taken into quite unexpected territory, encompassing Himmler s obsession with the occult; the strange adventures of Otto Rahn, the Nazi Indiana Jones ; Jewish mysticism and the reality of Jesus and his mission; the harsh truth about the Cathar heresy and the Knights Templar; and finally the enduringly appealing Rennes-le-Chateau mystery from an entirely new angle.
