The French Priest's Mystery Treasure That Inspired The Da Vinci Code | Myth Hunters

- Rennes-le-Château, a small village in France with a population of less than 100, was made famous by the village priest Bérenger Saunière. A priest who grew up in poverty, but seemingly stumbled upon unbelievable wealth, so much so that he completely redecorated his church, as well as built himself a house with that money. The origin of Saunière's money remains unknown to this day, though there are multiple theories - some more reliable than others - which has led to years of treasure hunters visiting the small French village.

The background music is too loud it over powers the voiceover.
All based on Holy Blood, Holy Grail (Lincoln, Baigent and Leigh) but not really acknowledged. Dan Brown did NOT put this story together
“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
― G.K. Chesterton
You might be right but he's the one that made it the phenomenon or fad or whatever. It's kinda like the Jurassic Park thing. Brown put it on the lunch box and started selling it.
That's right... Henry Lincoln originally picked the book up (about a poor priest, who gained wealth) from a French second-hand book store (written in French I believe) for his holiday reading. Having a background in documentary making, it aroused his attention. He then collaborated with Baigent and Leigh to produce Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Nothing upsets the Catholic church more than the Merovingians, the Rennes le Chateau mystery and England being Protestant.
england protestant hmmm most english dont know what a protestant is they will say there church of england and not have a clue being scottish 1st thing asked is whats all the religious stuff in scotland and ireland about when you point out threr protestant there like no im c of e and further anglicanism ie c of e is catholacism under a smoke screeen so once the divide was made with H 8TH there was min change and people still took mass and rights puritans reformists etc calvanists are diff and more religiuos intolerance
I laughed when the video said the preacher was a crook. It seems like all preachers are crooks if you pay them for a prayer.
The catholic church is a money laundering industry run by pedophiles 😮
"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" was the book that the originally told the story.
I have visited this church and it was truly magnificent
Always interesting 🔥
The devil statue is not "bearing"the holy water, It is rather pressed, overwhelmed by its weight, worth and significance!
Very Interesting Story ……🌞
Absolutely fantastic true tale.
Marie, like Mary Magdeline was the true hero of this tale❣
It would have been easier to send an assassin to silence the priest than to pay him a large sum on moneyl
This statement support the facts that he actually found a secret...they couldn't assassinate him bcz he had the secret... usually when you negotiate for a secret you have back-up plans...kind of something bad happen to me publish the secret??
The priest who sponsored my confirmation was also a little too close to his housekeeper. Probably why he choose to do his later service in the military archdiocese.
But he never stole wealth from under a church or abandoned his duties. Even if he was a bit loose with his vows.
Interesting documentary.
The priests wealth came from selling letters of indulgence. There's a good book debuking this treasure mystery.
Indeed, however, to be more accurate, Pére Bérenger Saunier sought and accepted large amounts of Mass stipends, which he failed to fulfil.
What are letters of indulgence?
@@rachelg9873basically people pay to have their sins forgiven so they can go to heaven. It’s a major reason why Martin Luther wrote his 95 Thesis that caused the Protestant revolution. The Catholic Church was giving out too many of these “indulgences” and on top of that, the rich were funding the church and influencing church officials. Kinda like how companies lobby politicians today.
That's exactly what this show says happened.
@@rachelg9873paying to get your sins prayed away, bullshit of course but then they believed it.
But if you knew deep down who someone was...could you dare to say no??? Remember your purpose! Many are called...few are chosen...

This is all conjecture.
I'm shocked that this is allowed to be touted as 'the truth'.
Every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess...holy, holy, holy is the LORD. The world will have to accept it...the truth will come out in the light....

A story of Hustlers from the Church down; and Murphys Law. A sucker and their money are easily parted.

The treasure is buried in the walls of his castle ... as it was when he found it in the church
Incredible
I did a study on this decades ago following the trail of the knights templar - Rosecrucian and esoteric Cathars histories.
As unconvoluted as I can make it, it goes like this.
in medieval times nobles over the christian world borrowed gold to raise armies and establish their dynasties.
Where the gold came from I didnt find out, but it seemed to be tied in with the alternative catholic religion, the Cathars.
It seems the Knights Templars were the trusted shippers.
Repaying the gold was usually a problem, with penalties of damnation in hell possibly, however the Catholic Church branded the Cathars as heretics.
This justified the Frankish nobles carrying out an inquisition against their lenders, having been guaranteed absolution for the torture amd murder of the Cathars.
It seems these Frankish nobles wiped out their lenders and the Cathar communities along with their debts.
Some centuries later this priest is given a dilapidated village community to serve that used to be part of the Cathar dominions and becomes fabulously wealthy.
The questions I was left with, as the Cathars apparently died without recamting and therefore not divulging, where's the gold?
Did the gold only get discovered when the Priest swept out the church larder, who knows? Some where along the line the Rosecrucian became part of the narrative. That was before the priest became part of it.
I was following the mythology of the spear of destiny, the grail and other ancient relics at the time, also Magdeline's day is also my birthday.

Listening from Mackinac Island Michigan
Beautiful place was there as a child. I am 68 now.
I worked at the Iroquois Hotel on Mackinac Island the summer after graduating from high school in 1979. One of the coolest times of my life.

Awesome
Send me some white chocolate fudge!
Why is this guy being praised for grave robbing?
Medieval Christian graves do not have grave goods.
Ffs… who was praising him ?
What is the value of Treasures laying beside a dead body?
@@robertkigunda7677 the same as the value of gold not laying beside a dead body
@@stankythecat6735 lol...well played.
Omg i said thos all before I new ... even before I got to the end ... common sence
A similar story to the true millionaires created by the gold rushes of the American West- the hardware dealers who the sold picks, shovels, pans at hugely inflated prices- feeding the fever. The millions made in tourism at Rennes-le-Château since the 50's is the true "treasure". The Oak Island TV show comes to mind as well. Good on those who make it work I say. Marie was a genius IMO- played him like a flute and used his gold fever to her advantage. I wonder if her inability to write/talk at the end was real or just the last act in her performance.
"Private Eye" summed it up as "The Holy Grail and the Holy Ficticious"
The Spear Of Destiny,By Trevor Ravenscroft, A Fantastic Book, Bought It When It Came Out In 1972, And, Guess What, I Still Have My Copy, And Read It All The Time, Jim Campbell❤❤
Thank you from Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia ❤❤❤
The Swedish author Frans G. Bengtsson wrote a historical essay "The long haired Mevorings". I have a memory of him depicting Long haired corpses floating down the Seine when the Mevorings fought over the throne....
Which made the claims of "Holy blood and Holy grail" feel a bit off... The Mevorings did not appear especially holy...
9:18 That wig is trying to make a break for the wild............
Gullibility and humans, the only Truth in this nice video, ty for sharing.
Nonsense. The secret is that there is no personification
🍿🍿🍿❤🧡
A priest is not a reliable witness by definition
"What an unnecessary and inane remark."
Well on the bright side he was too busy to diddle kids
There’s really no mystery to the story it was not uncommon for château owners to hide their treasures and chapels and surrounding grounds in case they were seized
Only one knows where the treasure is hidden ..
In Hoc Signo Vinces
HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
this is such an old docu and totaly de bunked guys ffs do something thats not click bait
Mary was pregnant with Jesus's baby that's why she was there when he died and was there when he came back to life ... there for he could not risk others finding out Mary was with child and had to go into hiding hence the reason why she just disappeared...
The Holy Grail used to be in Ethiopia but in the 1980s Bob Geldof went out there and nicked it.
the Holy Grail probably was thrown away after the meal....IF the meal even happened. No historical record of it. The bible isnt an historical document.
Lol😂
I am 35 minutes in and you can’t help but wonder if the old lady was just passing on a myth for the fame and endless business model the place could be.
The DaVinci Code
Nope, "holy blood, holy grail". Dan Brown borrowed the idea.
Indulgences? Simony?
I think Sauniere got his money from smuggling,or smugglers paying him off. Smuggling of what? I don't know,but with all the wacky rules back then who knows.
01:32 - the Trees of the Forest refer to the burned down Apple Orchards, Forced Starvation & Eradication of the Whole Culture for the Wealth that the Land has... .. 05:11 the Treasure is Near this town in the Americas ... ... this is the Treasure everyone has been looking for ... www.youtube.com/@TheApacheTreasure - The Treasure is located at the El Dorado of the Cibola ...!!!
The annoying music made me opt out of a good story ...bye 🙂
❤ this has endured thats what ya get when theives like Dan Brown claim other peoples book & the set gets broken uo wth 2 others claimin the other 2 - little bit of justice i suppose
Meh - stories are told and retold over time. Dan Brown did a great job weaving together an existing tale. Look at how famous Disney became by retelling old fairytales. Whoever tells it best is the winner.

Not this nonsense again!
He probably b!ew some high ranking member of society and received a payout to not snitch to the wife **dusts hands** MYSTERY SOLVED…but I’m only 1:00 into the video soooooo…..
so a priest was grave robbing and got rich? This didnt warrant 51 minutes. I will sum it up in 5 seconds. The Catholic Church breaks every single sin they judge others for....Hypocrites all of them
There is no grave goods in Christian graves.
Clearly, in your enthusiasm to express your personal prejudice, you failed to follow the conclusions the documentary came to
Was he charging for masses for people? This was called Simony, a very serious sin, especially for a priest?
East holland
The hoax was there but the Mero story too .
This nonsense makes no sense except to the ignorant. The hold that the priest found did not come from the Vatican.
I read a book on this story some 40 years ago, and let it down. That's just garbage recycling.
Keep in mind, 1362 AD. X U.S.A.
No
A big .con .
Jesus and Mary's blood line ❤.
Mary is the Holy grail. And she took JESUS's body to his family Tomb in. Jerusalem WATCH JESUS'S TOMB the naked archeologist I am Christian and I believe this tomb is where Jesus and his family were laid to rest

you mean yhwh who was a god from the arabian penisual lool
naked archeologist is totaly debunked as fake wow after over 10 years people still cite him he is a fraud click bait jewish history to back up what he wanted to find come on ffs after all these years people still quoting archeology that fake good program like eastenders but get a grip
blind leads
Sweet Mother Mary Magdalene😔🙏
Do your homework. The prime source of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Bible . 4 men wrote about His resurrection. Not all of them about the 2 women that went to the tomb ( carved from stone) to proper attention of His worldly body. Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Two women named Mary were present at the Crucifixion. And a man in particular plus a crowd. You people are not historians. You are disrespectful to History and truth. Ah, by the way not even the woman referred as Mary Magdalene was from Magdala ( the village in Galillee). Because of this kind of poor standying strong to thruth itself I stopped being subscribed to your streaming service
😂You believe everything you read ? without any proof , that’s faith😂
The definition of faith is belief without proof.😂
@@raymondcava4669 have you heard of Josefo ( in Spanish ), Eusebio ( again in Spanish) you translate both of them… ah, by the way if you do not want to believe the truthfulness of sth, then stop learning things through Wikipedia… just saying
If you are using the bible for ANY historical reference you cannot be considered as a well schooled historian. MOST of it was written after he died. a few hundred years after he died. The bible is nothing more then a book to teach morals. The irony of this is the people who preach it usually dont follow it.
No problem leave
If you bothered to watch more than 5 minutes, you would've learned that this documentary was about a con-artist priest who inspired another con-artist who inspired the writing of the best-selling fictional work called "The DaVinci Code", not about what's written in the Bible.🙄
