OUA,
thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in answering.
If I have understood well your second enlightenment, but I am not yet sure if I catched really the drift?:

If it is simply a story, then in my opinion it can't be "historical" while "history" needs to be proven.
Precisely, I'm talking about a story which contain historical information. The Da Vinci Code remains a fiction; and although it remains a fiction the Catholic church was obligated to justify the foundations of the Christian Liturgy. This Story horrified and above all terrified the Church. Imagine the impact and the repercussions if the research director of this website was able to create doubt surrounding the death of Napoleon. This is why I stated that this subject should have been treated from the beginning. Mr. BRH already has a complete file. The only thing that is needed is to connect these events as if the spectator is watching a movie. Imagine if you wanted to have a judicial injunction to require the Invalides to open the tomb? The judge is not a historian, mind you - he will react and reason like a policeman. If you have understood "l'esprit" and the direction that I have proposed the intellectual elite of France will support the demand of Mr. BRH.
The turbulence and the turmoil that France is going through today shows the need for it to find her glorious past...
With Best RegardsCorrect me please if I am wrong...
You seem to propose at our dear Host BRH to write some fiction based on some historical facts about Napoleon mixed with a lot of drivel to goad, to spur the uncivilized public brought into the mood with a clever publicity campaign. Or to led it do by an unscrupulous journalist?
You want to make of our dear BRH a blamed and exposed crackpot?
No, no and no. As I know our dear Host, I am nearly sure that he will always do it the honest and historical way. In any case, I would strongly recommend to do it that way, as it would also be "my" way. Suppose that later a "serious" public mistake him for the author of a kind of Da Vinci Code? Author, whose only goal it is to provoke people to start sensation and from that sensation and publicity make money...
Warm regards,
Paul.
