IN SEARCH OF LOST TREASURE
the Knight's Templar
The
first group of Knights Templar consisted of 9 , mainly French,
knights, who devoted their lifes, as soldiers of Christ, to protect
the pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land and driving off the Islamic
forces, that threatened the Kingdom of Jerusalem and other christian
territories. They proved to be a mighty fighting-force and are the
architects of a number of imposing castles.
During
their first stay in Jerusalem, a certain area was designed to the
Order, approved by the Pope. This area was of quite excluse
archeological importance. The Knights made camp amidst the remains
and on top of the Jewish Holy Temple, which was set on fire in 70 ad.
The
knights did not spend much time on patrolling the neighbourhood.
Instead they began excavating the place. They cleaned the famous
underground stables of King Salomon.
What
did they find. And why leave the Holy Land in a hurry, after 9 years.
