1750 AD Europe the Rosicrucians reemerge as a shadow organisation representing the Western Mystery Tradition, and the Manifestos, reputedly by Christian Rosenkreuz, riddled with complicated analogy, representing an alternative version of Christianity are reissued. These manifestos were either cobbled together by an obscure Historian or someone who discovered the same stories as Dan Brown. These manifestos then may be an early version of the Davinci Code, stories which have cropped up with heart beat regularity since 43 AD. This time they are linked with the arrival of the Portugese into the Kingdom of Ormus in Persia, and the discovery of Mandaeism, the Brethren of Purity, Emanationism and Sufism, in much the same fashion as the Knights Templars would have discovered this knowledge in the 13th Century, only without the printing press. This is the treasure they ‘found under the temple during their excavations’, and would easily be enough to get the Papal priviledges in return for their cooperation, in exactly the same way that Berenger Sauniere does in 1886 AD when he finds his ‘hidden treasure and/or secrets about the history of the Church that threatened the foundations of Catholicism’ in a pillar in his church. The Roman Catholic Church could only proscribe heretical doctrines in the West, and they have never been able to influence knowledge in Islamic territory which has exactly the same origin and history. It is an absolute certainty that this information would eventually filter back to the West alongside all that Classical literature and the salvage from Alexandria and North and East Africa. Coupled with the long traditions in the West along the same lines, the Western Mystery tradition would continually explode, albeit in a shadowy fashion, or as Arthurian Myth, as often as it could get past the Inquisition and in any form it could take. The Celtic Fringe and the Protestant Reformation allowed a continual resurgence of these stories behind the lines of the Catholic Church which continues to this day, as Dan Brown proves.
