Sion, the capital of Valais, with its castles Valere and Tourbillon (©
SION (pronounced see-ohh), known as Sitten in German, is the capital of Canton Valais, an alluring and attractive town of just 27,000 with an exceptionally long history: archeological evidence points to the site having been inhabited during Neolithic times.
What attracted settlement, no doubt, was the incongruous presence, on the otherwise pancake-flat valley floor, of two jutting rocky hills, visible from afar not least for the medieval castles Valère and Tourbillon, which now adorn the crests of both.

 Alpheus--The Priory of Sion Hoax
Sion or Zion is the ancient name for Jerusalem, where the order was headquartered at the monastery of Our Lady of Mt. Zion.
The survival of the Merovingian bloodline as promulgated in the "Priory" documents is based on the alleged marriage of Giselle de Razes to the seventh-century Merovingian King Dagobert Il.
The fraudulent history of the "Priory of Sion" and its false bloodline was created by utilizing the vast amount of esoteric documents publicly available in French libraries and by depositing its own documents among them.

 Mysteries of Rennes-le-Château (Morgana's Observatory)
The Prieure du Notre Dame du Sion, or Priory of Zion, is said to be the cabal behind many of the events that occurred at Rennes-le-Château.
For about one hundred years, the Order of the Temple (Knights Templar) and Sion were apparently unified under one leadership, though they are said to have separated at the "cutting of the elm" at Gisors in 1188.
Certainly, if the organization's full name is the Prieure de Notre Dame du Sion, and if it is site of Orval is connected to the worship of the bear-goddess Arduina, venerated by the Sicambrian Franks of the area and their Merovingian kings, then this may be the case.

 Priory of Sion
"Sion appears to have been at the nexus of two French anti-monarchical movements, the Compagnie du St.-Sacrament of the 17th century (acting on behalf on the Guise-Lorraine families) and the Fronde of the 18th, as well as an attempt to make the Hapsburgs emperors of all Europe in the 19th- the Hieron du Val d'Or."
The Prieure de Sion was an association with a similar agenda.
Although an Order of Sion did exist in the Middle Ages, there is no historical evidence that Plantard's association is descended from it.

 Prieure of Sion: the Mystery deepens
One of the notions that is alluded to in Messianic Legacy is that there may some sort of conflict between the Priory of Sion and the Knights of Malta — a conflict thought to originate from the original rivalry between the Hospitallers and the Templars during the Crusades.
There seems to be some hints that if Sion has some sort of ‘plan’ for European unification under Merovingian rulership, that it is about to pass one of its major milestones around the turn of the millennium.
Sion’s goals may include a reunification of the world’s major monotheistic faiths and/or a unification of all of Europe.

 PRIORY OF SION: THE FACTS, THE THEORIES, THE MYSTERY
These documents also claim that the Ordre of Sion and the Order of the Temple (officially, the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, later known as the Knights Templar, and officially recognized as such in 1118) were, until 1188, one unified organization with the same leadership.
The "prieure documents" claim Sion's first independent "grand master", Jean de Gisors, was elected at this time: Sion and the Temple were no longer under the same leadership, and each went its own way.
Although the Order de Sion and the Knights Templar parted ways, at least according to the "prieure documents", in 1188, they still seem to have had some sort of interconnection, and some artefacts, knowledge, documents, etc. relating to the current 'mystery' seem to have remained in the Templars' possession.

 Beyond 'The Da Vinci Code': What is the Priory of Sion?, di Massimo Introvigne
The Priory of Sion is an esoteric order legally established in France in 1956 by Pierre Plantard (1920-2000), yet claiming great antiquity.
Legends connected with the Priory of Sion have generated great interest through the years, particularly as a result of the publication in 1982 of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by British journalists Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln.
The Priory exists today after Plantard`s death as a small occult organization, combining themes from several pre-existing occult orders, and an endless source for novels and movies, but no one in the scholarly world would seriously maintain that the legends created by Plantard and others are factually true.

After Jerusalem fell to Godfroi de Bouillon in 1099, an abbey devoted to Notre Dame du Mont de Sion was built on the hill of Sion to the south of Jerusalem; it is referred to in later documents and figures in several views of the city.
