About Me
Published by Arcatrans Inc Ltd, The Paradise Co-ordinates is written by John R. Pollard and edited by Peter Cowlam.For much of his career John Pollard has been a container and equipment manager with various liner shipping companies in the shipping industry. Having travelled extensively, it was almost inevitable that he became a regular visitor to the Languedoc and the Pyrenees. His first trip to Rennes-le-Château was made in the spring of 1984, and since then he has been determined to unravel the mystery of its buried treasure. Over time it inspired his book, The Paradise Co-ordinates, where you may share in his eventual solution. John Pollard has written extensively on this subject in the journal The Rennes Alchemist.Ever since Bérenger Saunière arrived as curé of the tiny church in Rennes-le-Château, in the south west of France, and unearthed its mystery, nothing but more mystery has surrounded it. Saunière began his career there in 1885, and although himself poor and impoverished did manage to raise sufficient funds to begin much needed restoration work on the church. In the course of that work it was discovered that one of the altar pillars was hollow. Inside the pillar were several wooden scrolls, and inside the scrolls were parchments.
Two of these parchments turned out to be encrypted messages, which when decoded pointed to Rennes-le-Château as the repository of secret treasures. With help, Saunière decoded these messages, and as a result acquired vast wealth almost overnight.There has been a great deal of speculation, delivered in the form of TV documentaries, a great many books, and even these days various websites, as to exactly what Saunière's discovery was. One theory suggests that Rennes-le-Château inherited the treasures of Jerusalem, plundered by the Romans in AD 70, then plundered again by the Visigoths when they sacked Rome. Thereafter the Visigoths spread their kingdoms into what is now France.Whatever this treasure was, with his newfound wealth Saunière embarked on a wide range of private and civic building projects in Rennes-le-Château. He lived out the remainder of his life there, until 1917, in comfort and well-being. Precisely how he found these riches has stimulated much interest since, with most who have studied the subject believing the treasure still remains in Rennes-le-Château, and awaits re-discovery. So far, all scholarship and writing surrounding it has failed to offer even the slightest insight as to where the treasure is located.However, it is now the case that John R. Pollard's Paradise Co-ordinates can and does reveal the point in Rennes-le-Château where the author determines the treasure is buried, through a reasoned working out of just those same clues and codes that were available to Saunière. This is a subject that recurrently surfaces in the national press, has been featured in TV documentaries, and whose related websites receive an enormous number of visitors.Available at Amazon .Available p&p free from the publisher .
