Holy Blood, Holy Grail von Michael Baigent
More implausible conspiracy-building without sound historical methods, the kind that was intriguing as a young teen and, sadly, for some adults, too.

Apesar da celebração e veneração seculares ao redor da figura de Jesus, Baigent assegura que a sua trajetória de vida e as circunstâncias que o levar… (mehr)
