The Arcadian Cipher

Uncover an ancient code and investigate this extraordinary undercurrent of history. Fascinated from an early age by the paintings of Poussin, Leonardo and other great masters, Peter Blake has watched as others have made guesses as to their meanings, even linking them to the mysteries surrounding the French village of Rennes-le-Chateau - at the core of the seminal 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail'. But from the recurrent geometrical themes Peter has discerned in the paintings, he reaches quite different conclusions from those grasped at by other researchers. For instance, by overlaying the grids found in key paintings of both Poussin and Leonardo on the maps of Languedoc, he has pinpointed a never-before-discovered hill tomb. If the clues that have led him this far on the trail are right, this could be the final resing place of two of the most significant characters in the Bible.
