The Priory of Zion (Prieuré de Sion in French) is also called the Zion Society. Before 1956, there were no words or other sufficient historical materials to prove the existence of Zion monastery. Its founding history can be verified from May 7th 1956. It was founded in Annemas, France. Like other social organizations, it was legally registered in the French Ministry of the Interior on July 20th. Some French national librarians also belong to this organization. The founders are Pierre planta (known as Chyren), Andre Bochum (known as Stannis Belas), Jean de Rival and Amon Defarge in the order of signature. The founding purpose is "member education and mutual assistance". The mountain around is actually the name of a hill not far south of Annas.
