The Rennes-le-Château Theme Park is the epitome of uncritical simple-mindedness – considering anything and everything – ranging from Tombman to Tracy Twyman.


Richard Farr Dietrich knew all about scepticism – about how to be sceptical towards the facts.

Dietrich was another believer who ignored Saunière raising 250,000 francs from selling masses.

Dietrich seemed to think that the subject matter of Rennes-le-Château was an enigma beyond solution – and although he also stated about Rennes-le-Château “I jocularly refer to as a Disney World for Heretics because that is the way it has been popularly interpreted” and “I’m only half joking when I say that we decidedly have the makings of a theme park here, a kind of Disney World for the intellectually and spiritually curious, for would-be heretics and impious pilgrims” – Dietrich simply failed to identify the transparent absurdities of the mythmakers he was writing about.

Quoting from Dietrich’s website, June 2004: “This inordinately long website has just scratched the surface of ‘The Mystery of Rennes-le-Château’ and reviewed but a few of the many theories and speculations that have attempted to solve the puzzle of it. But the puzzle remains” – before finally in January 2010 giving the following statement: “If you’re just getting started on Rennes-le-Château, I recommend that you first familiarize yourself in more detail with the popular version, which, after all, may succeed in creating the reality it describes, if it doesn’t already exist.

Dietrich was an English Professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, USA. Had he consulted a scholar on the Third French Republic about Saunière’s activities at Rennes-le-Château 1885-1917 this may have answered many of his questions.
