I'm reading a book about the treasure of the Knights Templar.
was looking for something to read during the summer and I spotted Thursday by a supermarket.
These imaginary heroes crusaders have always fascinated me: they were really that smart? What was their real mission? Their treasure is worth really so invaluable? And above all, but really exist?
Roberto Giacobbo I really like the Voyager program is a fixture, I like how she explains, as curious about you and captures your attention, so I put the book in the cart and went into cash.
The reading itself reported many concepts I had already heard, birth order, the heroic deeds in the Holy Land, the loss of the Holy Sepulchre, the recognized importance of the order from the Pope, and many rulers . And then the decline: the war that made them Philip the Fair, the yield of Clement V and the burning of the Grand Master, with the legendary escape of 18 boats from the port of La Rochelle, on board ships that were to have the greatest treasure of the Templars .
But my attention was caught by an assertion that I was really surprised.
After escaping from France, the 18 ships were separated and 9 seems to have arrived in Scotland, accepted and "covered" by the Sinclair family. A descendant of this dynasty, that Henry Sinclair, it seems that, even without much effort, had arrived in what was dubbed the "new world" that the American continent, with the aim of bringing safe, as far away from France and by their persecutors, the treasure of the Templars who had welcomed in Scotland. Certainly not docked in New York, but most likely in northern Canada, but some images appear era men with plumed hats, sculptures and corn ... All things that have come to us after the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. Only that Mr. Sinclair has lived approximately 200 years before.
And here the hypothesis that left me incredulos ...
With a round of relationships (which I had to reread a few times to understand), Columbus would come in possession of notes Sinclair Explorer, and then, when he sailed in search of a route to the Indies, was fully aware of this land that would meet on his way.
And behind all this, we would again be the order of the Templars.
The three ships that sailed with Columbus, wore very impressed with the religious symbol of the Red Cross
But these riders
really so mysterious knew of the existence of a new continent had been in the Americas, knew the territory and its inhabitants?
possible that a discovery so dramatic as that of Columbus, is in fact a draft of an order that was disbanded a long time and then worked in secret?
really do not know if there is a material treasure of the Templar Order, if it was actually hidden and is still "in good hands," surely the knowledge and the secrets that these knights had, may be a treasure of inestimable value.
