Shakespeares skjulte koder: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Petter Amundsen claims to have found hitherto unknown codes in William Shakespeare's play. The codes say that Shakespeare is not the actual author, but rather a paid front figure in a Masonic project.

This Norwegian-produced documentary series in four parts shows how the organist Petter Amundsen from Oslo reveals a treasure map of codes in Shakespeare's literature. The findings lead into a story that includes the Knights Templar and the missing Knights Templar treasure. Dan Brown touches on this in the Da Vinci Code, but Amundsen's story surpasses fiction. It is based on facts that can all be verified.

If Petter Amundsen achieves recognition for his theories, the history of literature will have to be rewritten. He will forever stand as the man who solved Shakespeare's great riddle. Should he fail, he will be left as a fanatic in the ranks of naive conspiracy theorists.
