    Forbidden Knowledge: Aliens, Templars and Sacred Monoliths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min
    Forbidden Knowledge: Aliens, Templars and Sacred Monoliths: Throughout millennia, the ruling elite have obtained and hidden from the masses the vast ancient knowledge and technology given to man by the gods. While forcing the populace to obey and believe a repressive doctrine, they themselves pursue an agenda of total dominion upon the planet for reasons beyond that of conquest and the material, but for sinister motives that affect all of mankind. Secret of the Holy Grail: The Holy Grail has been linked to the mysterious family known as the Merovingians who are said to be a dynasty of priest-kings with magical powers. Some experts think that the Merovingians were descended from an ancient race of fallen angels that spanned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. But these Merovingians also held a dark secret and the true ruling power on Earth. Ancient Alien Origins: The true gods gave rise to the great powers of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and more. They spread outwards around the world and were the genesis of a very real holy bloodline that remains with us today. They were also known as "the watchers," those who came to Earth as beings of light to teach and guide mankind. The aliens left Earth millennia ago but the signs are growing daily that the prophecy of their return is imminent. Secret Societies and Sacred Stones: From the origin of ritualized worship in Sumeria and Egypt, to secret societies such as the Knights Templar and the Illuminati, ancient stones and objects have been idolized and used in secret ceremonies unknown to the outside world; used to hold power over the souls of others; and have even been fashioned into beautiful gems and artifacts; and yet, they remain a mystery. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Gardner, Ahmed Osman, Robert Feather, Nick Pope, Brandon Scheiber, Zachary Miller, Patrice Chapman.

    Da Vinci's Darkest Secret, Hörbuch, Digital, 61min
    The Holy Grail is inextricably linked with the mysterious family known to the ruling elite as the Merovingian Dynasty - the strange moniker used in The Da Vinci Code, The Matrix, and others due to the undeniable power it holds. These Merovingians are said to be a dynasty of priest-kings with magical powers - but how do they come upon these powers? Some say they are descendants of God himself via his son, Jesus, and Jesus' wife, Mary Magdalene. Some even go so far as to say that the Merovingians were descended from an ultra-ancient race of fallen angels that spawned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. The truth is that the line of Merovech was very special and worshiped the serpent. Their history is one of the most magical, mystical, and murderous tales. We discover that their very bloodline was so special to a secret and sacred order of serpent worshipers that their lives were in constant danger. They also held a dark secret that was twisted out of all recognition by the Christian Church. Prepare to discover the real secret of the Da Vinci Code and the true ruling powers on earth. Prepare to discover Da Vinci's darkest secret. Language: English. Narrator: Philip Gardiner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/real/000434/rt_real_000434_sample.mp3.

    The Merovingians (eBook, ePUB)
    The studies collected here cover a period of about 33 years, from 1986 to 2019, and represent a sustained effort to understand the institutions of the Merovingian kingdom and its history. There has long been a predisposition to cast the Merovingian period in the dark colours of barbarism or to treat it with reference to personal relationships and archaic institutions. The present volume, instead, recognizes the Merovingian world not as an archaic, primitive intrusion on the Mediterranean civilization of the Roman Empire but simply as a participant in the wider commonwealth that existed before and remained after the dissolution of the western imperial system; in so doing, it serves to refute the scholarly tendency to primitivize Merovingian governance, its underlying institutions, and the broader culture upon which these rested. The collection is divided into four parts. Part I considers the question of whether Merovingian kingship should be viewed as a species of archaic, 'sacral' kingship. Part II, on institutions, has chapters that deal with various offices (the grafio and centenarius), public institutions (especially immunity and public security), and the broader makeup of the Merovingian state system. Part III, on charters, procedure, and law, has chapters on the profile of the charter evidence as now presented in the new MGH edition of the Merovingian diplomas and one on particular procedures before the royal tribunal, mistakenly referred to in scholarship as 'fictitious' trials; a final chapter provides a reflection on, and basic guide to, the law in general of the successor kingdoms, with an eye to the evidence of Merovingian Gaul. Part IV, a slight change of pace, deals with historiography, both the modern variety (Reinhard Wenskus) and the Merovingian (Gregory of Tours). All chapters deal extensively with the historiography of their subjects. This book will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in Early Medieval European history, Merovingian history, Early Medieval law and society, Early Medieval historiography, and the influence of Merovingian law and governance on later centuries.

    The History of the Franks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1154min
    Gregory of Tours was a Gallo-Roman aristocrat and Catholic prelate born in 538. He died 56 years later, in 591, a period in which the brutal Merovingian rulers of the Frankish nation consolidated their power over most of Gaul. Gregory experienced the transition from the dying world of Roman antiquity to the new culture of early medieval Europe. He lived on the border between the Frankish culture of the Merovingians to the north and the Gallo-Roman culture of the south of Gaul. He struggled through personal relations with four Frankish kings: Sigebert I, Chilperic I, Guntram, and Childebert II, and he personally knew most of the leading Franks of his day. The book opens with a recounting of the world's history from the creation but moves quickly to the Christianization of Gaul, the life and times of Saint Martin of Tours, the conversion of the Franks, the conquest of Gaul under Clovis, and the more detailed history of the Frankish kings, down to the death of Sigebert I in 575. The second part, books V and VI, closes with Chilperic I's death in 584. The third part, comprising books VII to X, is an increasingly personal account down to the year 591. As bishop of Tours, Gregory could not have been better placed to hear everything and meet everyone of influence in Merovingian culture. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.
