Tis amazing how this crap keeps being regurgitated every 10 years or so.
It all started in the 70s, when some nutcase called Henry Lincoln made a tv series about this Rennes-le-Chateau "mystery" and it gained attention.
Ten years later, he and two other Englishhhhhmen produced a book called Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It sold well.
Ten Years after that, TLC and Discovery channel began producing so-called documentaries on this same theme. Following this, literally hundreds of pulp books were written on Lincoln's original themes.
Ten years after that, our boy Dan Brown wrote The DaVinci Code.
All of this made southern France a hotspot for tourists and treasure-seekers and vandals.
But the French never bought into it, even though the whole story revolves around France and things French. Because they have always known it is a total fraud. Only gullible Englishhhhhmen and Americans believe in it.
Lincoln himself no longer involves himself with this story, mostly because his original sources were known ex-cons and one of them admitted under oath that the story was bogus and his "incontrovertible evidence" were forgeries.
I too, was once a deep progeny of Lincoln's story, but I have since learned the truth and am a vicious opponent of the "mysteries" and Dan Brown's touristy bullshit.
In spite of these obvious proofs and the total lack of supporting historical evidence, it remains popular and believable to many who read the fictious DaVinci Code.
As for William being the new antichrist, well, he was known as "William the Terrible" when he was a child, because he was so spoiled and out of control.
