Henry Lincoln the Faith Healer[edit]

I added the pertinent part about Henry Lincoln's biography that he was a Faith Healer - highly relevant in the light of his authorship of books like The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail and The Holy Place. Whenever Henry Lincoln comments about 'sacred landscape geometry' his voice resonates with the attitude of faith and religion and not with the objective tone of a historical researcher.

Just an observation.

I am curious about this claim, for this is the first time that I read that Henry Lincoln believes in or applies (present or past tense, doesn't matter) Faith Healing (thank you Wikipedia for explaining me what it consists in). When and where/how did you get this information ?

Lies & Mud Throwing[edit]

This article about Henry Lincoln consists of such a number of lies and deliberate mud throwing, that its existence is a disgrace to Wikipedia. Shame on you who did this! You have seriously damaged the good reputation of this internet encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.242.121.172 (talk) 22:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could be more specific in your complaints - which parts of the article do you disagree with ? RGCorris (talk) 14:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think one thing that needs elaboration and resolution is "Serious historians, however...", with outright dismissal of facts that aren't even mentioned, and no names ("serious historians" = weasel words) or citations given. His claims may be unfounded, but the article doesn't even mention what the claims are (or link to a new page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.33.208.227 (talk) 21:00, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln is a hopeless hack, utterly lacking in credibility (his "Holy Blood" stuff had been debunked in French almost a decade before he co-authored that book), but that's just my personal opinion. (Possibly influenced by his wobbling between "I knew that was fake" and "no seriously, it's all true", depending on whether he happens to be suing someone at the time.) Anyway, for some actual evaluation, here is the 1991 Times Literary Supplement review of his "The Holy Place" (second-hand via another website, but attributed and should probably be easy to find for anyone who can navigate the Times estuary).

I know it is probably original research...[edit]

The french "secret" message can be read in reverse in stilted swedish. for instance "A dagobert" becomes trebogad A Meaning an a with three sides. Of which there are only one on the parchments. Other capital A letters having an arch. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 05:03, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
