Product Description
Review
For 20 years the shadow of Rennes-le-Chateau and its dubious treasure has brooded over the whole field of 'alternative history', encouraging lunatic theories and stifling rational criticism. But the resultant books were at least entertaining and - almost - believable. The Templars' Secret Island, alas, is neither. The authors claim, and seek to prove, that a group of ancient churches on the tiny, Danish island of Bornholm are set in a geometrical pattern that provides a key to secret knowledge of vast antiquity. And it must be admitted that they present impressive evidence that complex geometric patterns can be overlaid on the sites of these churches. But what does this prove? For the authors the amazing accuracy of these patterns demonstrates the reality of underlying sacred measures and proves a connection with the treasure of the Templars, of Jerusalem, and, of course, of Rennes-le-Chateau. As to the nature of this 'treasure' they are evasive. But how could they be anything else? All that they offer is vague speculation built upon very shaky historical foundations, buttressed all too often by the word 'if'. Much of what they claim about the past, whether it be the early Church, the Knights Templar, medieval learning, religious institutions or Freemasonry, is not undisputed fact but highly contentious opinion. And a wealth of plans, diagrams and colour plates is no substitute for historical proof - nore are 40 pages of detailed calculations relating to their geometrical analysis. All that these pages succeed in doing is to make a mercifully short book far too long, and to convert the mildly dull into the utterly boring. (Kirkus UK)
