      Depuis 1983, date de parution en France de " ENIGME SACREE ", Ouvrage fondamental sur le troublant mystère de Rennes-le-Château, le cercle considérable de ses lecteurs ne cesse de s'élargir. En prolongeant en quelque sorte l'enquête historique et les fascinantes investigations de Henry Lincoln et de ses co-auteurs, qui furent parmi les tout premiers à révéler au grand public une face occultée de l'histoire de France et de la civilisation judéo-chrétienne, Richard Andrews et Paul Schellenberger ouvrent ici une voie nouvelle à la faveur d'une lecture différente des parchemins de l'abbé Saunière, de recherches approfondies sur le message voilé de Nicolas Poussin et d'autres peintres méconnus des non-initiés, d'un décryptage très subtil de nombreux éléments du dossier où apparaît en filigrane une géométrie ésotérique existant à plusieurs niveaux. Lancés dans une véritable chasse au trésor, ils s'attachent à démontrer, selon une interprétation et des raisonnements qui leur sont propres, que la tombe ultime du Christ se trouve, selon toute vraisemblance, dans un lieu quasi inaccessible des Pyrénées, protégée par une immense conspiration du silence qui dure depuis maintenant deux mille ans.

      The Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington in Seattle needed transforming as it was overshadowed by large buildings that surrounded it. The award-winning Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, known for its restoration to Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, was commissioned to intervene. The firm was able to integrate site, circulation, building and context that beautifully reconciles the site with the rest of the campus.
