The Priory of Sion








        The Priory of Sion formally known as French “Prieure  also claimed to be the real French king in the 1920’s.
        de Sion” is a name given to an organisation which  So to conclude, the Priory of Sion is just a  myth but
        focuses on protecting Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s  I think it would have been so interesting if it was an
        bloodline. It is also known as the real reason behind  actual organization but of course that would tear the
        the knight templars. It was introduced to the public by  world apart.
        many films and books, some of them gained a lot of
        attention and popularity especially in “Holy Blood,Holy
        Grail” and “The Da Vinci Code” which is now a major                                              Ayşegül Şar
        motion picture. This organization is believed to have
        worldwide famous members like Leonardo Da Vinci,Sir
        Isaac Newton,Victor Hugo and many more.Although
        it’s existence was denied by the Vatican


        Some still believe that the organization is real. Of
        course it is mostly caused by Dan Brown claiming that
        this myth was a fact in his book(Da Vinci Code). The
        thing is, although both the knight templars and the
        Cathers are historical facts, there’s no proof that the
        Priory of Sion and its members ever existed. However
        we do know that a Priory of Sion did exist but it was
        founded and dissolved in France by Pierre Plantard in
        1956. So, according to the facts we know today none of
        the famous names that we know of have participated in
        this organization. But the authors that wrote about this
        topic being real is basing their research on the Dossier
        Secrets found in the National Archives in Paris which
        we later learned that they were fakes and there was no
        such document.And what we later found out is that it
        was all a hoax created by the man I mentioned above
        Pierre Plantard.Another fun fact about him is that he
