* What
links the enigmatic Rosslyn Chapel, near Edinburgh, to a long-lost
wisdom?
* Why
was it featured in The Da Vinci Code?
* Its
mysterious stone carvings long been the focus of specific religious
groups, secret societies and esoteric groups....why?
Rosslyn Chapel,
an extraordinary 15th century medieval chapel near Edinburgh, has long been
shrouded in mystery. Continuing to inspire many today with its
unique stone symbolism
and special atmosphere, Rosslyn is also known as one of the main settings for The Da Vinci Code.
But what
do its enigmatic stone carvings mean?
What
ancient wisdom do they represent?
Featuring slides of stone carvings from the chapel, as well
as images of rare artefacts and regalia from a private Rosslyn
museum exhibition, Dr
Ralls will reveal unique symbolism from Christianity,
Judaism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Scottish
gypsies, the Black Madonna, the Green Man,
medieval heraldry, and more.
Many believe that the Ark of the Covenant, the
Holy Grail, the lost scrolls from the Temple of Jerusalem,
Scotland's missing crown jewels, or the treasures of the Templars may lie
within Rosslyn's vaults....but what may be the greatest secret of
all? What, on our Quest today, is
'fact' and what is 'fiction'? Learn
who built Rosslyn and why, and how its
extraordinary message was carefully enshrined in stone, safe from book burners and the Inquisition,
to reveal its Wisdom today. |
