French researcher Jacques Rivière, who unfortunately passed away in 2006, left us some of the most serious books on the mystery of Rennes-le-Château as well as a great many things to ponder. On of his most intriguing claims was that, if the points of all the summits of the hills in the Aude are joined up, they reproduce the figure of Mary Magdalene as she appears on the bas-relief of Saunière’s altar, her head being the ramparts of Carcassonne.

Another leading Rennes researcher, Pierre Jarnac, has repeated this exercise and confirms that this does appear to work.

If this was indeed meant to be a map, then at the intersection of the cross on which the Magdalene’s gaze is fixed lies the village of Puichéric. That’s an amazing coinicidence, since in Puichéric, the church used to have a stained-glass window with exactly the same scene. Rivière believed that the secret is the locations of some very rich mines.
