Exploring the provocative idea that Jesus survived the crucifixion and settled in southern France with Mary, Graham Simmans delves into the origins of Christianity beyond traditional narratives. His research, rooted in Coptic and Jewish texts, suggests that true Christian teachings spread from Egypt and Judea to Europe, particularly around Rennes-le-Chateau, a hub of spiritual diversity. Simmans highlights the cultural resistance to Roman authority that allowed Gnostic and other esoteric teachings to flourish until the Crusades. His work challenges conventional beliefs and invites readers to reconsider the foundations of Christianity.

Rex Deus is an account of a modern Grail quest with all the accouterments of mystery, cryptically coded documents and tales of secret societies, Freemasonry, persecution and genocide.All the threads in the quest lead to Rennes-le-Chateau, a French hilltop village with a turbulent history long associated with religious and political intrigue, secrets and stories of buried treasure. Many claims have been made about its secrets, but the true mystery is the most unlikely claim of all -- the existence of a group of families descended from the twenty-four high priests of the Temple in Jerusalem.The Rex Deus story is the first full examination of this shadowy dynasty, who have repeatedly conspired together to alter the course of history, and the key role it played in the succession of the House of David to the throne of Jerusalem after the first Crusade. It reveals the real influence of this tradition on the development of European culture and the American Constitution and it shows how the true teachings of Jesus Christ have been kept in trust for our benefit in the troubled times that mark the beginning of the third millennium.
