- The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem?E1
The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem?The Lost Treasure of Jerusalem? In 1891 an impoverished French priest, Berenger Sauniere , discovered four parchments containing a series of ciphered messages hidden beneath the altar of his church in the tiny village of Rennes-le-Chateau. These led him, apparently, to an incredible fortune. Had he found a great treasure? Did it even contain relics of the lost treasure of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem? Chronicle tells the story of the clues that he left behind him, and examines some of the attempts that have been made to follow them up. - The Lost World of the MayaE2
