The perfection of giving orders is to be peaceful, the fighting, lack of anger, which wants to overcome, not fighting, which uses men to get under-tse ellos.Lao

Gave much to talk about The Priory of Sion, which as we indicated Wikipedia, is the name of a secret society, which the belief of those who support its existence since ancient times, would be considered the most influential in Western history. It is said that historically, this order was actually founded by Pierre Plantard the July 20, 1956, as recorded in the Official Gazette of the French Republic No. 167, page 6731; characterized by its modern Rosicrucians dyes. Not to be confused with the Order of Sion, founded by the Templars, the Priory which purports to indicate that it would succeed.

It is said that in early XXI century, the West has rekindled interest in secret societies, and especially by the Priory of Sion, thanks in part to the best-seller by Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code. In this book the Priory plays an important role, as some of his characters are linked directly to the Priory, whose most important mission is to guard the Holy Grail and other secrets related to Gnosticism, pagan rituals and life of Jesus of Nazareth.

It should be noted that Brown takes for his novel theories and studies long before the same, as well as myths and legends of places in southern France, all related to the Knights Templar, Freemasonry and the Holy Grail.

Lots of previous novels that of Brown have argued on the subject, the latter being who has attained a higher profile.

Literally, Wikipedia gives us about it, that historians, having considered all matters relating to the Priory of Sion, indicate that the age and writings on this are not true reaching the following conclusion about the history of the Priory of Sion:

Papers presented by Pierre Plantard indicating that Bérenger Saunière came from the father, who had discovered while arranging your church, would have been really written by Pierre Plantard himself and produced by his friend Philippe de Cherisey. Thus, these forged documents purporting to show the survival of the Merovingian dynasty of Frankish kings, and thus attribute a royal lineage to Pierre Plantard. Plantard manipulated Saunière's activities at Rennes to "prove" their claims relating to the Priory of Sion. Thus it is estimated that between 1961 and 1984 Plantard had invented the legendary lineage of the Priory of Sion, supposedly emerged from the remains of the Order of Sion. Another reason to point out how false the age of the Priory of Sion would be the Priory's own record on July 20, 1956 in the Official Gazette of the French Republic, because if present pretended antiquity, and with it a great power, there would had the need to register your order again.

To maintain his deception in 1989, Pierre Plantard claimed that the Priory of Sion was actually founded in 1681 in Rennes-le-Château, but on this occasion failed to maintain its reputation and its projects. Later in September 1993, argued that Roger-Patrice Pelat had once been the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. Pelat was a friend of then French President François Mitterrand and was the center of a scandal involving French Prime Minister Pierre Beregovoy. A French court ordered record Plantard's home, confiscating many documents, including some proclaiming Plantard as the legitimate king of France. Under oath, Plantard admitted that he had invented everything, including Pelat participation in the Priory of Sion. Plantard ordered to desist from all activities related to promotion of the Priory of Sion and lived in obscurity until his death on February 3, 2000, in Paris.

French authors like Franck Marie (1978), Jean-Luc Chaumeil (1979, 1984, 1992) and Pierre Jarnac (1985, 1988) have never taken Pierre Plantard and the Priory of Sion seriously. They concluded that there was fraud, and to do detailed profile historians gave their arguments and evidence that many researchers in the novel of the Holy Grail, which was made famous worldwide by the Priory of Sion, had not told the truth, and had omitted known data. This, they argue that the evidence of the latter could not maintain the mythical version of the history of the Priory.

It should be noted as pointed out above information source Wikipedia, the supporters closer to the idea of ​​the actual existence of the Priory, are based on the following arguments:

There is a list of illustrious Grand Masters. This indicates that the Order of Sion have a long history that began with the creation of the Knights Templars and their military and financial fronts. However, this list is based on a document admittedly falso.Se says he had an important role in promoting the myth of the "hidden river of esotericism" the Alph, in Europe swears medieval.Se reinstate the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled the Frankish kingdom from 447 to AD 751, on the thrones of Europe and Jerusalem, though there is not a descendant only accredited dinastía.La order that would protect this royal dynasty because under the doctrine of the order, the Merovingian dynasty would the supposed descendants of Jesus and his supposed wife Mary Magdalene. However, genetic studies, in 2006, the program seeks the truth (Digging for the Truth) TV channel The History Channel, conducted a genetic analysis of Aragunde, one of the first Merovingian queens, to prove or disprove down the lineage of Jesus or Mary Magdalene. The result of the analysis concluded that the origin of the lineage of the Merovingian dynasty was European only, and was not genetically related to any of the populations of the Middle East, which rules out it's real French legend about the supposed descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene , which clearly were Jews.

In short, can be summarized, as noted science.portalhispanos.com: The Priory of Sion is the name of an alleged secret society, which according to the belief of those who support its existence since ancient times, would be considered the most influential in the Western history. Historically, this order was founded by Pierre Plantard in reality the July 20, 1956, as recorded in the Official Gazette of the French Republic No. 167, page 6731; characterized by its modern Rosicrucians dyes. There are others however who claim that the Priory of Sion was founded in 325 AD (When was the Council of Nicea) So Constantine legalized the Christian religion in strange conditions after a conversation with senior religious (an unlikely version). Of course it is a warning not to be confused with the Order of Sion, founded by the Templars, the Priory which purports to indicate that it would succeed.

Under Article 1956 of the original Ic of the Statutes of the Priory of Sion, the association adopted the name of a mountain near the French town of Annemasse, called Zion. The aim of this lodge initiation was a vanguard movement dedicated to the restoration of the nobility and the monarchy in France, through royalty rights of Pierre Plantard.
