Download or read book The Knights Templar Revealed written by Alan Butler and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So state the authors, Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe, in their much-acclaimed work The Warriors and the Bankers. But where did they come from, these mysterious white-mantled Knights of Christ, and were they simply a reflection of early twelfth-century Christian thinking? This is a question that Butler and Dafoe set out to answer - the discoveries they made will result in a dramatic reassessment of the whole period relating to the First Crusade and far beyond. The true genesis of the Knights Templar belong far back in time, long before Christianity even developed. The Templars were an offshoot of a little understood monastic brotherhood - the Cistercians, who themselves danced to the tune of an extremely powerful group of individuals inhabiting Burgundy and Flanders from the time of the Romans onwards. Butler and Dafoe offer a detailed account of the rise of a specific group identified as 'the Troyes Fraternity' that did not simply respond to the caprices of history; they made it. Behind the Knights Templar lay a pattern of belief almost as old as humanity and a heritage that was already ancient before recorded history began. The story is both fascinating and compulsive. It will le

Download or read book The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant written by Graham Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-09-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers compelling evidence that the Knights Templar may have taken the Ark of the Covenant to the British Isles • Presents scientific evidence affirming the powers attributed to the Ark • Traces the Ark and the Stones of Fire from Jerusalem to Jordan and finally to central England, where the Knights Templar hid them in the 14th century According to legend the Ark of the Covenant was an ornate golden chest that was both a means of communicating with God and a terrible weapon used against the enemies of the ancient Israelites. In order to use it the high priest had to wear a breastplate containing twelve sacred gemstones called the Stones of Fire. These objects were kept in the Great Temple of Jerusalem until they vanished following the Babylonian invasion in 597 B.C.E. At the ancient ruins of Petra in southern Jordan, Graham Phillips uncovered evidence that 13th-century Templars found the Ark and the Stones of Fire, and that they brought these treasures back to central England when they fled the persecution of French king Philip the Fair a century later. The author followed ciphered messages left by the Templars in church paintings, inscriptions, and stained glass windows to what may well be three of the Stones of Fire. When examined by Oxford University scientists these stones were found to possess odd physical properties that interfered with electronic equipment and produced a sphere of floating light similar to ball lightning. The Bible asserts that the Ark had the power to destroy armies and bring down the walls of cities. Now Graham Phillips provides scientific evidence that these claims may be true and offers compelling documentation that the Ark may be located in the English countryside, not far from the birthplace of William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about Knights Templar who visited northern New Mexico sometime in the period of 1200 AD to 1400 AD and left two mysterious obelisk shaped stones in a most obscure location high in the mountain foothills of Wheeler Peak, the highest mountain in New Mexico at 13,000 feet in elevation. (Yes, this is some 300 years before Columbus!). The obelisk shaped stones were placed upright in locations near each other. The location of the area is in the Carson National Forest, in a valley known as the "Valle Vidal", Spanish for "Happy Valley". The stones appear to be a type of limestone and are approximately 10 inches X 10 inches X 42 inches tall. On each of the four side of the stones are deeply carved Templar crosses and several Middle Eastern symbols that clearly identify the stones as being of and about the Templar Knights Crusades experience in and around the Temple of Solomon! Are the symbols a treasure map? There appears to be no other explanation why they would have been placed in this obscure location! This book is the result of four years of research by well-known southwest author of over 15 books about New Mexico and the Southwest, Louis F. Serna. The book is sure to become an incredible part of New Mexico history!
