Product Description: A new complete book about the breathtaking inner world of the Shaolin Temple and its many mysteries - with photos never seen before.

For generations the tiny chapel of Rosslyn has been the subject of an extraordinary range of speculation and theories culminating in "The Da Vinci Code" in which it plays a central role. Through hidden treasure and Templar Knights to the Holy Grail and Madonna worship, the astonishing richness and mystery of this Renaissance masterpiece have attracted almost every conspiracy theorist in the land convinced that they alone know the truth. Visitor numbers have soared and the chapel is about to feature in a Hollywood film based on "The Da Vinci Code". Roddy Martine stands back from this and tells the story of this beautiful chapel and the family that built it as well as the glen in which it sits, while reviewing the vast range of theories that exist and how they came about. For those who want to go behind the myth of Rosslyn to the real place that exists, this will be the book.
