Have you ever noticed the strange hints about particular biblical characters and events in the Rennes saga, or should I say, the Priory Mythology? Have you also ever noticed that Henri Boudet wrote in La Vrai Langue Celtique about family descendants from Noah?
Cherisey talks about Boudet's description of red ones [which he calls Redones, ie an allusion to the tribe of Rhedones which inhabited Rennes in Britany which also have a connection with his Rhedones in Rennes-les-Bains] and it got me thinking. Whatever else these authors wanted to impart, why is there, in the background of the Rennes Affair something about important bloodlines? This idea - which Lincoln et al definitely seem to have 'run away with' and invented something 'different' [Jesus married Mary Magdalene] - for earlier authors the Affair seems to have represented something else entirely about human origins.
Then you have the weird idea put forward by Gerard de Sede that the Merovingians were from a race of extra-terrestrials. It just doesn't make any sense. The author, as well as Paul Rouelle, said that the book was a huge joke at the expense of Pierre Plantard [which is strange because the Merovingians being descended from Christ was something invented by Lincoln et al, NOT Plantard. Plantard could think he was in some way a Merovingian descendant for some ulterior motive, but the bloodline from Christ was not his invention]. But here and there, you can find odd quotes about what is at the heart of the real affair of Rennes for them. And it has nothing to do with a treasure found by Sauniere!
For example, John Saul refers to the book by Rouelle - Court-Circuit -[Rouelle was a friend of Chérisey] and wrote;
" .... in Court-Circuit, de Chérisey, who read English, (or perhaps Rouelle) specifically mentions that the English edition of Holy Blood, Holy Grail was known to him. Indeed, on page 64-65 of Court-Circuit, de Chérisey (or Rouelle) obscurely specifies that the English book "has two page 17s, one of which does not exist". These confounding words were clearly contrived to alert readers to something or other, because page 17 of Court-Circuit itself had been left blank. The conversation between the two men drones on and on, and on and on some more, with many references to Rennes-le-Château, to the date January 17, and to other matters, many of which almost seem to have been chosen for their obscurity. Finally, around pages 103-109 (depending on the version of the typescript), one of the protagonists expresses the long-suffering reader's own feelings, and accuses the other of trying to squeeze absolutely everything under the sun into this one story focused on Rennes-le-Chateau. Yet instead of denying it, the other agrees! He then insists that eventually we are going to discover "the knowledge hidden at Rennes and concealed elsewhere as well" and we are then going to find out that "the story is in no sense limited to the Catholic country of France". "I am completely convinced that the matter is far older than admitted, either by those who are simply interested by it or those presently digging into it." He then reviews the state of things in the early 1980s. “Gérard de Sède takes it back to Solomon's Temple, Philippe de Chérisey is thinking of le grand Romain (evoked by Nostradamus]" and, "as for Pierre Plantard, he's happy to have himself as the direct descendant of Christ". But "speaking for myself", the protagonist continues, "I wouldn't be at all surprised if all these other things were just facades”, and if at the heart of the Rennes affair we were to find ourselves dealing with “the question of Origins" [my emphasis]. This is reiterated toward page 153–154 where the story is held to touch “necessarily to the mystery of Origins" with “necessarily" exceptionally isolated in boldface in the two versions consulted."
CHERISEY continues the idea in his posthumous work UN VEAU À CINQ PATTES [A FIVE LEGGED CALF]. The title of this book is a kind of slang, & popular colloquial French term. It means 'something out of the ordinary' and from it one is to understand thus; a Sheep or Calf would only have five legs in the case of a genetic anomaly, and therefore an animal such as this would be a real rare pearl and something out of the ordinary. So while dissecting the book by Boudet Cherisey is thus drawing attention to genetics and origins.
Chaumeil, in his hey day had written, [according to JANIA MACGILLIVRAY] the following;
"A clue to the 'Initiated', can be found in their reference to the sentence used by Darwin: 'I have leaned on the shoulders of Giants'. According to Chaumeil, American writer Irwin Ginsburgh's book 'First Man, Then Adam' which quotes this sentence in the Preface - gives many answers to those interested in the Priory of Sion".
This saying [I have leaned on the shoulder of Giants] is often erroneously attributed to Isaac Newton, but it actually pre-dates him by around 500 years. It was first recorded as a saying of Bernard of Chartres, the French medieval scholar of the twelfth century. It was recorded later by the English scholar John of Salisbury in 1159:
"Bernard of Chartres used to say that we [the Moderns] are like dwarves perched on the shoulders of giants [the Ancients], and thus we are able to see more and farther than the latter. And this is not at all because of the acuteness of our sight or the stature of our body, but because we are carried aloft and elevated by the magnitude of the giants."
Bernard was saying that scholars of his day were inferior to the ancients, whose knowledge was being rediscovered via translations from Arabic editions in his lifetime. The image of the debt of current scholars to the greats of the past became a popular one and was repeated by the Venetian Jewish scholar Isaiah di Trani later in the twelfth century. The sixteenth century Spanish mystic Diego de Estella popularised it still further and it became a commonplace by the sixteenth century. Robert Burton's popular Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) quoted it, attributing it to Diego de Estella. And the poet George Herbert used it, unattributed to anyone, in 1651. By this stage is was simply a common truism. Newton's use of the quote is in a context where he refers directly to work on the same subject by both Descartes and Hooke in a letter to Hooke:
"What Des-Cartes [sic] did was a good step. You have added much several ways, & especially in taking the colours of thin plates into philosophical consideration. If I have seen further it is by standing on the sholders [sic] of Giants."
Charles Darwin is the father of Evolutionary Theory and Natural Selection and by extension genetics.
Although Ginsburgh's book is about extra-terrestrials and Adam being essentially an astronaut - which I think is a little far fetched [and is probably something more akin to THIS] the whole point is that even then Chaumeil was in some way referring to origins in relation to the Priory of Sion mythology.
In the Lobineau documents is found this quote:
"ONE DAY THE DESCENDANTS OF BENJAMIN LEFT THEIR COUNTRY, SOME REMAINED, TWO THOUSAND YEARS AFTER GODFROY VI, BECAME KING OF JERUSALEM AND founded the order of Sion - From this wonderful legend that comes from history, as well as the architecture of a temple whose top is lost in the immensity of space and time, whose mystery of which Poussin wanted to express in his two paintings, the 'Shepherds of Arcadia', is undoubtedly the secret of the treasure before which, the peasant descendants and shepherds of the proud sicambre, meditate on 'and arcadia ego', [here there is a Sea of Davd] and King 'Midas'. Before 1200 in our era - An important fact is the arrival of the Hebrews in the promised land and their slow installation in Caanan. In the Bible, in Deuteronomy 33; it is said of Benjamin: He is the well-loved of the Etemal, he will live in security with him, the Etemal will always cover him, and will reside between his shoulders [here is a small diagram of a. sort of Cross?]. It is still said Joshua 18 that fate gave as a heritage to the sons of Benjamin among the fourteen cities and their villages: jebus nowadays Jerusalem with its three points of a triangle: golgotha, sion and bethanie. And finally it is written, Judges 20 and 21: 'None of us will give his daughter for wife to a Benjaminite... O Etemel, God of Israel, why does it happen in Israel that a tribe of Israel is missing today'. To the great enigma of Virgil Arcadia that was in the secret of the gods, lift the veil to the Bucolic X-46/50: 'Tu procul a patria (nec sit mihi credere tantum). Alpinas, a, dura, nives and frigora Rheni me sine sola vides. A, you don't refrigerate laedant! A tibi ne teneras glacies secet aspera plantas!' Six doors or the seal of the Star [Star of David design inserted here], here is the secrets of the parchments of the Abbe Sauniere. Cure of Rennes-le-Chateau and that before him the great Poussin, initiate, knew when he realised his work at the request of the Pope, the inscription on the tomb is the same". - Lobineau, Dossiers secrets, planche no. 1, 400-600.
So is the Rennes Affair something to do with biblical bloodlines/origins/human origins? It seems preposterous!
Anyway, in respect of Boudet's talk of Redones/Red ones and the biblical Adam, where Adam means Red Man, Alice C. Linsley, from an anthropological view has spoken of Adam the Red Man. In her article, Adam was a Red Man she writes the following;
"The Biblical writers recognised that the people among them with red skin were of an ancestral line of extreme antiquity. Some of these people were rulers in Edom. These are listed in Genesis 36. Esau the Elder and Esau the Younger were among them. Esau is specifically described as being red in Genesis 26.The name Adam is derived from the root אדם (A.D.M), which is a verb meaning "to be red or ruddy" (Strong’s #119).The Hebrew word for red is edom and it is a cognate to the Hausa word odum, meaning red-brown. Both are related to the word dam, meaning blood, and to the name of the first man Adam, who was formed from the red clay which washed down to the Upper Nile Valley from the Ethiopian highlands. These soils have a cambic B horizon. Chromic cambisols have a strong red brown color. It is evident then that the Upper Nile is the urheimat of the Adam and Eve story.Jeff A. Benner, an expert on ancient Hebrew, explains:We are all familiar with the name "Adam" as found in the book of Genesis, but what does it really mean? Let us begin by looking at its roots. This word/name is a child root derived from the parent דם meaning, "blood". By placing the letter א in front of the parent root, the child rootאדם is formed and is related in meaning to דם (blood).
By examing a few other words derived from the child root אדם we can see a common meaning in them all. The Hebrew word אדמה (adamah) is the feminine form of אדם meaning "ground" (see Genesis 2:7). The word/name אדום (Edom) means "red". Each of these words have the common meaning of "red". Dam is the "red" blood, adamah is the "red" ground, edom is the colour "red" and adam is the "red" man. There is one other connection between "adam" and "adamah" as seen in Genesis 2:7 which states that "the adam" was formed out of the "adamah".In the ancient Hebrew world, a person’s name was not simply an identifier but descriptive of one's character. As Adam was formed out of the ground, his name identifies his origins.Though the story of red Adam comes originally from the Upper Nile, the account was preserved by his Edomite descendants, one of whom was Abraham. Abraham's territory was between Hebron and Beersheba. As can be seen from the map below, his territory was entirely in the region of Edom. The people who lived there had a reddish skin tone. That is why the Greeks called this region Idumea, meaning "land of red people."
Isaac was Abraham's proper heir, and as such, he inherited Abraham's territory. Edom was under the control of Horites, what the Jews call their "Horim." Both Hebron (where Sarah lived) and Beersheba (where Keturah lived) are in Edom. Abraham's territory extended between the settlements of his two wives, and included mountains, lowlands wells, and the water system at Engedi.David is related to the Horite rulers of Edom and he is described in the Bible as red/ruddy. Samuel, the son of a Horite priest from Ramah, anointed him ruler.
And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here." So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he." Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah. (1 Samuel 16:11- 13)
A red people is mentioned in African creation stories. It is said that God created the first human by mixing soil with his blood. This is circulated among the Igbo, for example, whose ancestors originated in the Upper Nile Valley. The Igbo belong to MtDNA haplogroup L1, believed to have first appeared approximately 150,000 to 170,000 years ago in East Africa.
The red descendants of the Proto-Saharans appear mainly to be in Haplogroup R1b, the point of origin of which was the wetlands extending from the Nile to Lake Chad. Lake Chad was Noah's homeland. Some of Abraham's Horite Habiru ancestors can be traced back to the shrine city of Nekhen. One of the more intriguing discoveries at Nekhen was the recovery of an almost complete beard in association with the redheaded man in Burial no. 79. The facial hair of the man in Burial no. 79 had been trimmed with a sharp blade. The presence of long wavy natural red hair and a full beard suggests that this individual may have been Ainu (Annu). The Ainu were among Abraham's ancestors, and although they were widely dispersed before Abraham's time, the Nile Valley appears to be their point of origin. The Annu built the original shrine of Heliopolis which is called "Onn" in Genesis 41. Joseph married the daughter of the high priest on Onn." [Re-posted from HERE]. Alice also wrote;"The continent of Africa has always had the greatest genetic diversity and it is the point of origin of all humans. Noah's homeland was in the region of lake Chad, but his ancestors moved there from the Nile Valley. Many Africa stories speak of how the High God assigned certain regions of the land to different populations. According to the Shilluk of Sudan, the High God Juok/Jwok made white people out of white sand and the Shilluk of out black dirt. When the Creator came to Egypt, he made the people there out of the Nile mud which is rich in red silt. That is why the Egyptians are shown in ancient Egyptian reliefs as having a red-brown skin tone. Each population had its designated area. The southern part of the Nile valley had an influx of Bantu people around 1200 BC. The part of the Nile Valley where Abraham's ancestors came from was known to have a population of people with a red skin tone.

Perhaps these considerations should be investigated further and see where it leads?
