ET IN ARCADIA EGO

Motto on Lady d’Haupoul’s flat gravestone and associated with THE SHEPHERDS OF ARCADIA, picture painted by Nicolas Poussin and said to be one of the key elements indicated by the message in one of the parchments. Tomb and landscape background thought by many to be that of a local monument known as “the tomb of Arques”, a village near to Rennes-le-Château. Geometric construction of picture relates to many occult matters associated with the mystery and the general area.
