Europe, Middle Ages 800-Year Prelude Essay
"I grant you the sacred charge of propagating our order under any and all conditions, because it is sure to have a lasting effect on posterity. As I've told you many times, the Priory de Zion has been the guiding force behind the Knights Templars, the French faction which has been our military might and the possessor of the holy grail which Mary Magdalene took into this country after the crucifixion of Jesus."
"That cup symbolizes the bloodline of our order as being descended from a divinity which has been passed down through the Merovingian ancestry and to which we are the rightful heirs. You must carefully preserve this knowledge I'm telling you and contain it only within our order, which strives to reassert our rights to the throne of the world."
"I will Jean. Wouldn't it be great if we were able to safeguard such a secret so that our order traversed through country lines, nation states, and occupations?"
The gleam which had flared within de Gisors' eyes now forcefully overtakes de Saint-Clair's, who ardently continues in a rare outburst of volubility.
"I can see it now, the title of grand master of the Priory could be held by noted Italian painters with wonderful native names like Botticelli or Leonardo Da Vinci, English scientists called Isaac Newton, and even a French novelist named Victor Hugo!"
"And," noted de Gisor's in a stentorian voice which somewhat dampers de Saint Clair's enthusiasm, "to prepare for the cultural shock that will embrace society if it ever learns of our organization, we can create a picture, a futuristic one which moves and contains sound and people speaking, to fictionalize this entire account and mask our true purpose."
