It is widely known that a great portion of the Vatican Library is open to the public, but what is not so well known is that there are secret archives in the Vatican that only a few people have access to. It is here that many ancient books from various time periods throughout the world are supposed to be housed. It is said that these locations are so secret and so exclusive that there have been popes who have lived and died within the precincts without ever suspecting their existence.

Many of the writings not included in the New Testament as well as many of the texts from ancient Alexandria before it burned down are located here. The most exclusive writings on ancient occult magic and alchemy are said to be housed here, writings that would show the true hidden knowledge that the church keeps from its members.
