This may be TOTALLY common knowledge; if it is, go ahead and laugh at me because I didn't realize this until I ran across a book in a store. I didn't realize Rennes-le-Chateau was a real place, in Southern France.

"Starting in the 1950s, the area also became famous for local rumours about the existence of a hidden treasure discovered in a church. This story, though since proven false, was enhanced and expanded by various hoaxsters, captured the public imagination, and has grown over the decades to the point where the area is now most famous for being cited in a number of conspiracy theories, including a hoax involving the fraudulent Priory of Sion, which formed the basis for hypotheses in such bestselling books as Holy Blood Holy Grail and The Da Vinci Code."

Apparently, it's also reportedly dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Nice KOS-MOS tie in there, if you ask me... xp

It's amazing.
I've seen it.
You have to go see it for yourself if you get the chance. It's so mysterious. and totally worth a trip!

I saw the Da Vinci Code...but I guess in person would be so much better. (x;; I really would love to visit, though~ I love mysterious looking places. Just like Angkor Wat/Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. >_>

I think it's more than just tombs and a cave, though.

EDIT: Yup, it actually looks like some old old estate built upon a hill. I googled it... Bunch of buildings. Although, this being only an exterior view, it's possible there could be catacombs and stuff. >_>
