Traditionally geometric patterns were used as symbols and for the handing down of occult knowledge. Lincoln mainly concentrated on the pentagram, the 5-pointed star, which he found in Poussin’s painting as well as in the small document. In the landscape surrounding Rennes-le-Château Lincoln also came across geometric patterns, for the greater part formed by churches and castles. Not only did he find a pentagram, he also found more complex figures.

A reference to the geometry is also mentioned in the booklet "Le Trésor Maudit": the "Dalle de Coume Sourde". It is an inscription, consisting of a geometric pattern with a Latin text. Its freely rendered translation reads: "The line in the middle where the small line intersects the M". This "Dalle" was to play a key role in my later search..

The most beautiful geometric pattern that was discovered (more than 700 years later after its composition! ) is the triangle, of which the angles consist of the castles of Blanchefort and Arques, and the church of Peyrolles. With this I end this series of discoveries made by others for this last pattern was unintentionally the starting point of my own research.
