Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is Rennes Le Chateau located?

Answer: France

The Chateau is located in Southern France. It is rumored to house mysteries of religious significance, vast treasures, etc. Fact - or legend?

2. Who is credited with making a spectacular discovery at Rennes Le Chateau?

Answer: Sauniere

Sauniere is said to have found "something" there - something that changed his life dramatically and has spawned an enduring legend in the process. He intended to disclose what he had discovered - but it didn't quite work out that way. The mystery, therefore, continues.

3. When did the "discovery" at Rennes Le Chateau occur?

Answer: Late 19th century

Sauniere arrived at Rennes le Chateau in 1885 and made his discovery a short while thereafter.

4. Which of these is true of the man who made the "great discovery" at Rennes Le Chateau?

Answer: He was a priest

Sauniere was a poor parish priest at the time of his great discovery.
Somehow, he became a very wealthy man in a hurry.

5. What is said to have been found in this "discovery"?

Answer: All of these

Speculation is rife as to what Sauniere found. Treasure has been suggested, along with religious matter, such as that mentioned above.

6. The Templars are mentioned in many stories about Rennes Le Chateau. What happened to them?

Answer: Forcibly disbanded by existing powers at the time

The Templars fought during the Crusades, but were forcibly disbanded by religious edict (on Friday 13, incidentally )with their leader, Jacques de Molay, and many other members being mercilessly tortured. It is said, however, that they continued to exist in secret form. Their ties (if any) to Freemasonry are uncertain. It is also said that they had amassed a considerable fortune at the time that they were disbanded. What happened to it?
What became of it?

7. What happened to the discoverer of the "secret" at Rennes Le Chateau after he made his discovery?

Answer: He became wealthy

Sauniere showed signs of great wealth immediately after his discovery - unusual for a poor parish priest. Did he find money - or was he being paid for his silence?

8. What is the name of another secret organization that is said to be involved in the secrets of Rennes Le Chateau and Rosslyn?

Answer: Priory of Sion

The Priory of Sion is said to have been (and still be?) an influential secret organization. Its leaders are said to have included the amazing Leonardo Da Vinci and the renowned Jean Cocteau, among others.

9. Where is Rosslyn located?

Answer: Scotland

Rosslyn is another mysteriuous place that some have linked with the Templars and to Rennes Le Chateau. (Some have suggested that it is a duplicate of King Solomon's Temple.) It's located in Scotland. Again, there's great speculation as to what secrets may be found there.

10. Which of these individuals is associated with some of the mysteries of Rennes Le Chateau?

Answer: Leonardo da Vinci

It is said that there are "clues" in many of Da Vinci's paintings. (The same has been said of the works of Nicholas Poussin.) Jean Cocteau is another name that is mentioned as being involved in some way with these mysteries.
