When Jesus Christ was crucified and ascended to heaven, his successors began to deify him. Seeing this, his apostle, St. Peter, wrote the book VERUM NUNTIUM (THE TRUE MESSAGE), which explained the essence of the divine gospel. However, the book was kept secret by his successors, who did not want to incur the wrath of those in power. When the belief in the Trinity was made taboo at the Council of Nicaea, it was hidden in the Church of Saint Peter, Christianity s first temple, for a thousand years, until 1096, a turning point for both the Eastern and Western worlds. Hidden for a thousand years, the book embarked on a new journey that would last another thousand years, falling into the hands of power centers in both the East and the West. While time and place may change, the question remains the same: What will its new owners choose to do with this book, which will shake the foundations of ancient religions? A debate that has endured for centuries: What is the divine gospel, what is the true message? Can an ancient book written two thousand years ago change the fate of religions? Byzantine expert, art historian, and tour guide Mustafa Kazancı, during his research in Kariye for an article he s preparing, stumbles upon a code he stumbles upon, finding himself on the trail of this ancient secret, hidden for two thousand years. He follows the encrypted compasses and symbols in the book step by step, inviting readers along on his adventure.
