The Lies and Deceits of Pierre Plantard (died 2000) and Philippe de Chérisey (died 1985) may have started during the mid 1960s – but they remain very much an essential part of 2026, as the illustration below demonstrates.

The illustration below is rich with obvious symbolism of Plantard and de Chérisey that did not belong to Noël Corbu (died 1968) or to Robert Charroux (died 1978) – the earliest purveyors of the Rennes-le-Château myths, lies and deceits. Plantard and de Chérisey were later to reboot and revise the initial myths of Corbu and Charroux and to invent further deceptions.

Elements of the parchments as initially devised by Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey were rejected and dismissed by Antoine Captier and Claire Corbu while they were chiefs of the Saunière Museum during the 1980s and 1990s.

The illustration below is overloaded with elements that were invented by Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey.

The modern day hoaxers of 2026 are totally and completely without any shame.

The whole subject matter itself is dismissed as an example of amiable lunacy by professional archaeologists, DRAC and the French Ministry of Culture.

Note: This article has since been deleted by the “Gazette de Rennes-le-Château” website. But there is far too much material invested in the website about the Abbé Gélis nonsense to delete that.
