First Interactive Search For The Holy Grail


Info page


Here are some of the controversial topics you'll find at this site. It's the kind of stuff a Dan Brown novel could be based on, which is why we have copyrights to prevent him from exploiting us for a bestseller! Some ideas will seem quite a bit off-the-wall for serious seekers and initiates, but they'll agree eventually that it is impossible to reach the higher levels of this adventure without first exploring some established controversies and superstitions. Please contact info@grailgate.com with your ideas and suggestions!


  1. The Arthurian Code: According to the originators of grail romance, King Arthur ruled mostly in France. Because there is no evidence that this king and circle of knights ever existed, even the Glastonbury tales are exposed as a fraud, did Chrétien de Troyes create the first roman à clef ? Is the grail mystery about historical figures and events, the family of Guillem de Gellone, perhaps?

  2. The Judas Code: A recently discovered gospel supports internal evidence (OT/NT) that Jesus believed in reincarnation, that he was the prophet Elisah, come again. and that John the Baptist returned as Elijah. This offers a new interpretation of the Resurrection, the Second Coming, and Armageddon. Did the Church replace a popular "heresy" with the doctrine of Christ's divinity?


  3. The Inquisition Code: Between 1595 and 1635 CE, a historian borrowed rare manuscripts from private and monastic libraries in Spain for his researches. How did this unique collection escape the Spanish Inquisition and end up in the hands of the enemy?  Was he murdered in 1635, or did he orchestrate his own death and funeral -- to live happily ever after in France until the 1650's?


  4. The Jesuit Code: After an extensive retreat in a cave at Montserrat, Ignatius Loyola spent a whole night vigil before the famous Black Madonna and laid down his sword and dagger to become a soldier of Christ. Did he discover that a black child was born in a nearby cave in the 9th century  -- by another holy virgin -- and exchanged his sword with a pen to protect this secret?


  5. The Nostradamus Code: If you check Tuckerman's or JPL's computer data, you'll see that the six planets, including Earth, repeat their relative positions to the Sun in cycles of 853.98 years. This curious fact is fully ignored by our astronomers! But if some astrological forces do really exist, history would repeat in this cycle. Did Nostradamus use this code to predict the future?


  6. The Skull & Bones Code: According to a medieval chronicle, the skull and right arm of St. Peter were taken from his tomb and lost in the "West". Was the Jolly Roger used to taunt the papacy -- by the Templars, Yale, and the pirates of the Caribbean? Can this challenge of the Vatican's raison d'être be confirmed by archeologists who excavated Peter's tomb in the 1940s?


  7. The Code Of Silence:  There is a possibility that the French poet Chrétien was murdered in the 1180's, when the first part of his Conte du Graal became public. All we know is that it stops abruptly because of his death. Were the continuators hired to change his story? Was he killed because he insulted a pious count or because he revealed a well-guarded secret?
  8. Or both?

  9. The Wolfram Code: The poet Wolfram organized his grail story "Parzival" with German precision into 16 invisible books, divided into 8 sections of 108 units of 30 lines. Book 9, about the grail, has only 70 units of 30 lines. Why did he claim that he could neither read nor write? Is this hidden structure and numerology the secret code of a Schlüsselroman to unlock actual historical events?

  10. The Boron Code: The Arch of Titus in Rome depicts spoils from Jerusalem that the Romans had carried off in 70 CE. One questionable source claims that part of the treasure, including the grail, was lost in a cave after the Sack of Rome in 410. Were the Alans and Visigoths the culprits, or did disoriented Roman clergymen lose it as claimed? Could Robert's riddle help us find the treasure?


  11. The Venusberg Code: Wolfram refers to the guardians of the grail not as the Templars, but as "templers" (templeisen), whose insignia is a turtle-dove, one of the symbols of Aphrodite. What if we find the medieval grail castle at the site of an ancient Greek temple, consecrated to this love goddess -- and which is depicted as "templum veneris" (sic) on Ptolemy's ancient maps?

  12. The Phoenix Code: In the 1930's a Jesuit scholar debunked Kepler's theory of the Christmas Star by claiming that the triangles of Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in 6 BCE were invisible after sunset. Did he miscalculate the Sun because wisemen could fuse the triangles into a Star of David? Did they interpret this red-golden star in perspective as the legendary phoenix, with its wings spread wide?

  13. The Grail Code: Chrétien leads from the seed to a cosmic grail, a shiny platter that looks like the Sun. Wolfram adds a timeline and the planetary positions to change the grail into a stone from paradise that gives the phoenix its powers. Robert adds a Judeo-Christian theme with the vessel from the Last Supper. Could they all be valid symbols for the real grail, which is not an object?

 

According to Wolfram, the grail provides anything we reach for:
old and new food, hot and cold, of domesticated animals and of game.

 

Think about it: That says it all!
