Beneath the current of establishment religion flows a hidden, underground stream of spirituality, clues to which have been encoded down the ages in all kinds of artefacts, paintings and architecture. The truth about this hidden symbolism is far more fascinating than fiction.

It provides an intriguing insight into an alternative historical narrative. Those who write history, make history. But the tenacious proponents of a different story found a way to write their own version of historical events: they encoded it in symbolism secretly hidden in the very works of art that were commissioned by their enemies, the established Church.
