they were the elite the SAS of medieval knights in armor they thought they were invincible they would go in first they would come out last rich you know effectively multinational corporations the keepers of holy relics said to have mystical powers if you touch them then you had a connection in court but when the Templar knights were smashed by the French King it was medieval equivalent of a adorned police raid their legendary treasure disappeared they found nothing yet alluring an intriguing clues survived shrouded in mystery they were fanatically secretive from ancient French castles and secret codes to an ingenious pit across the Atlantic try and get the treasure you'll drown could this be the tantalizing trail that leads to the lost treasure of the Knights Templar turn back the eternal tide of time by almost a thousand years and an enduring legend makita's a legend forged on the long and dangerous pilgrim route from Western Europe to the Holy Land and the hallowed city of Jerusalem travelers risk violence and even death at the hands of bandits who preyed on pilgrims around sacred Christians sites like the Sea of Galilee a Russian monk who visited the region described the danger in 1106 this place is very dreadful and dangerous many tall palm trees stand about the town like a dense forest this place is terrible and difficult of access for here live fierce pagan Saracens to attack travelers at the fort's travel all the roads was very dangerous because any Lord who owned land by the side of the road reckoned it was his right to take toll off anyone that passed protection money if you like some groups decided not to pay and fought so notoriously certain pilgrim groups didn't get to Jerusalem because they were either cut to pieces or taken prisoner amid the turbulent times of the early Crusades a small group of devout French Knights appeared in Jerusalem willing to dedicate their lives to Christ the country needed fighters not as men the parade and so the later accounts say they went to the patriarch of Jerusalem the head of the church and Jerusalem has said we want to do something to help present him we are Knights and he said for your sins i order you to protect the pilgrim modes these were highly trained fighters the Knights were at the top of the medieval military machine they were the medieval equivalent of a tank they're fully armed tonight on a horse which was also honored I was pretty formidable so you could have only taken one or two nights to protect a road and keep it fairly safe they became known as the Knights Templar after basing themselves on part of Jerusalem's historic Temple Mount the pounding Templars asked to be based in the al-aqsa mosque which named ferti was the Temple of Solomon they believed that it went back to the reign of King Solomon that great wise king of ancient Israel the Temple of Solomon had been destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD during the Jewish uprising so nothing was left but it was an area steeped in mythology Solomon was famously the wisest of all men once called the Poor Knights of Christ the Templars became rich enjoying papal privileges lucrative tax breaks and lavish donations the Templars became very rich because people in the West heard about what they were doing I felt great I want to help so they gave them money they left the money in their wills they gave them land which raised the income they even created their own kind of Bank and the equivalent of a modern traveler's check to protect pilgrims money the Templars did develop a system whereby you handed in your money for example in Paris you were to ship the salesmen has gone in you present your chit when you arrive an acre and you could have no money back in the Templars have become rich and influential in cities across Europe for the pious envious cash-strapped French King Philip the fair the Knights have become a threat rivals to his authority that had to be eliminated Philip was determined to destroy the order and would stop at nothing to achieve his ends the mighty order of knights would be brought down by charges of the most heinous of crimes heresy he had installed spies in the order he got people to join the order and they were reporting back to Philip the same when strange things are going on a month before the arrests secret instructions were sent out the King's officials the Bailey and the seneschal's in various parts of France and they were instructed the Templars were to arrested a dawn on Friday 30th of October and nothing was to be said about this beforehand so it was a dolled swoop it made the evil equivalent of a adorned police raid it was very well a very slick operation that was carried out seemingly without any warning almost all the temples and farts were arrested well it's psychology is not a modern invention it was well known in the Middle Ages that if you want to catch somebody off-guard doll and they're silly in bed is the best time together and the Templars were arrested on this Friday the 13th something which shocked people they were a very powerful and established group and there were literally hundreds of those centers and this event it was so shocking that to this day the idea of Friday the 13th in France is synonymous with I'd like thrown into prison and tortured many confess to shocking crimes of heresy Philip the fair he was very clever with his son spin-doctors he had got them to confess and a torture of course that they denied Christ and spat on the cross the charges of heresy were snitch help these were standard charges brought against other people that the King of France wanted to get rid of and get their money the Pope was also threatened by the French king's inquisitors and was forced to dissolve the order of the Templar knights in 1312 several years later after languishing in prison the Templars elderly grand master Jacques de Molay was burnt to death as a heretic we suddenly showed a huge amount of resolve he's also said by some chroniclers to have called the Pope and King Phillip to meet him before God within the year to account for their actions this has become known as the curse of Jacques de Molay and it came true apparently the Pope died on the 20th of April just a month later of a stomach complaint and Philip himself died before the end of that year he died in November 13:14 in a hunting accident he was a fanatical Huntsman and at this time it didn't come back from the hunt the place where Jacques de Molay was burnt alive together with one of his companions can still be seen in Paris today two tomb shaped portals marked the spot where the life of the last grand master was extinguished but some 700 years on the legend of the Templars continues to thrive myths that have swirled around them through time telefon tastic treasures and divine relics found deep in the ruins of solomon's fabled temple the idea that Templars were digging into the temple mount's a mortal woman nobody at the time wrote about that and I think the Templars would have talked about it had they been doing it as well because they like to advertise their activities as a way of raising money during some excavations carried out in the 19th century and tunnels discovered which has been dubbed the Templar tunnel it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Templars could have discovered something whilst renovating their part of the temple platform if they were interested in the legends of King Solomon one of these stories about Solomon was his fabulous wealth the pathway here pothinus wisdom he also had a lot of gold and we know that the the treasure of the temple was actually gold and silver and precious stones and so on which after 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the temple went missing could such legendary riches excavated from the heart of the Holy Land still lie hidden in a secret temple Treasury links between the Knights Templar and legendary holy relics have some foundation evidence recently uncovered suggest the Templars hid the Shroud of Turin said to hold an image of the crucified body of Christ could the Templars have secretly removed such treasures from the Paris temple before their arrest in 1307 when Philips men went into the Paris temple on that Friday morning all they found basically were templates they didn't find any treasure troves no storerooms or chests full of gold the hunt for the fabled lost treasure of the Knights Templar had begun according to one alluring tale a band of French Knights escaped before Philips dawn raid taking their hoard of treasure west towards England and a former Templar fortress as Yasur perched on a huge mound on Mott it was here that some Templars found themselves imprisoned in their own Tower Hetch tin to the walls of the so called prisoners tower ancient graffiti can still be seen as she saw including enigmatic symbols interpreted by some as clues pointing to the Templars lost treasure a chariot which may have been used to transport riches and biblical relics and mysterious figures of what appear to be North American Indians the former Templar stronghold has attracted many visitors through the ages including a Victor Hugo but was it the prolific creative artist who wrote lame Miserables who signed his name in the ancient walls one has to wonder if it was just someone else who engraved victor hugo's names luckily we know that Victor Hugo wrote that he really did visit Jesus and that the site had a profound effect on him in fact he details that he carved his name twice at the castle Victor Hugo was not the only one to be enchanted by the enigmatic Templar Castle urges or a caretaker rajala moi moved into the fortress in 1929 he sparked a sensation and a frantic hunt for the legendary lost treasure this is where he worked to lived and he knew the legends told in the area about the treasure which might be a Templar treasure clearly he was impressed so impressed that he started to suffer imagine being in his place the end of the day comes the castle is closed and he is alone so he starts digging and he will do whatever he needs to do taking his time he even asked for permission from the town hall to excavate in the town hall told him yes go on excavate if you find something they will cross that bridge when we come to it so he pushes ahead the Germans come and seize the castle he's very worried but in spite of everything he carries on it becomes his obsession he keeps going and searching he carries on searching the war ends the Germans leave and he keeps going he keeps searching and one day he is digging above us here in the dungeon he digs an amazing pit and there he finds something raja lemah claimed to have found an underground chapel crammed with vast riches in lurid detail he described an elaborate vault with 19 stone sarcophagi each 2 metres long and 30 chests full of precious metal none other than the Templars lost treasure he alerted the local authorities but when a town committee investigated the dig all they saw was a hole in the ground possible when people arrive to check what he has told them all they see is a pit that has not been securely supported and which has been constructed in levels it does not seem stable and looks as though it's going to collapse two people nevertheless try to go down but come back again quickly for fear of being buried alive the head of the local fire brigade was one of those who risk their lives to investigate the pit once safely back on the surface he reported a tantalizing clue one of the things that she farm and was reported to have said was that he threw a stone in and that he did hear an echo but at no point did he say that it was an underground room he just said that he heard an echo and that is the only testimony that confirms that l'amboise did find a cavity despite the fire chief's fascinating report local authorities ordered that the unstable pit should be filled in as soon as possible the caretaker who claimed to have found a vast Templar crypt filled with treasure was also sacked and expelled from the castle the pit was filled but the legend of Lost Templar treasure could not be buried then in the 1960s a popular book sparked renewed interest in the so-called secret Chapel the French Culture Minister ordered a full-scale excavation it is highly probable that Andre Navarro was persuaded of the presence of something within the Mart and he then ordered archaeologists to calm him and either start digging and in the first instance they agreed since there was a possibility of finding something some searches were made but very quickly the archaeologists announced that it was not possible for the Motta to be hiding an empty cavity but now all insisted very strongly on carrying on the searches Dickie as the archaeologist ran out of money to carry on this task after a while they decided to stop working on this site and this is when Andre Mahal decided to send in the army the army battled through excavations at the Mart for more than a month at the end of the operation came a curt report the result was negative but once again the legend of the Templars lost treasure refused to die despite the lack of any real evidence the military forces acted as military forces do so they seal the perimeter and they dug and evacuated the earth which is the origin of the theory of trucks carrying off the treasure buried in the Mount the fact that we are forgetting is they never found a construction if it existed they would have found it but nothing was found there's no evidence that anything was actually found that she's all stories circulate but when you look at the stories they're contradictory nothing's actually being produced that says this was found at she's all so it's another one of these treasure hunters stories intriguing but when you dig in there there's nothing there but why would the discredited caretaker rajala moi invent such a lurid story of a secret Templar Chapel one person who knew the caretaker suggests he was acting on real information meaning that somewhere somehow a hidden Templar treasury may well be waiting to be found Roger Lenoir he never entered this room he never found it he knew of an exact description of the room where he may have had a plan of it and Roger long was crafty as he was adopted the following tactic he dug obviously but he didn't find anything at least not the chapel he decided to gain maximum publicity so shortly knowing if the chapel was found he thought that he would be granted a share of the discovery as temperature of said ketchup might lack events if holders or that interrupted plural L tell us to bail mates a sick teen purged with a hoard of treasure if it wasn't buried and G's or perhaps clues or even the treasure itself lies beyond France across the channel in Britain in a historic corner of London Street names a tube station and a template church still stand as evidence of the Knights once influential presence in the capital the design of the temple Church in London was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem inside lies real historical treasure stone effigies of Templar knights and other relics of the past from London the legendary Templar treasure trail leads to the northwest and an old country family estate where a collection of Georgian Follies appear to contain tantalizing clues the house and gardens at Shugborough Hall were built and landscaped by the rich and influential Anson family the ansan family who date back for a very long time they were English nobility English aristocrats and they were very close to royalty and to the government I would use the word influential they were very important people who were effective in altering history the ansan family fortune was amassed by George Anson a navigator and Royal Navy captain who attacked Britain's enemies on the high seas his capture of a Spanish galleon and it's phenomenal treasure made the ansan family especially rich after George Anson died it was his brother Thomas who took over responsibility for the family estate spending vast amounts of his deceased brothers money the monuments in jean briault were built on the back of this Spanish silver that was captured the Spanish treasure and Thomas Hampson the elder brother who was able who lived here wanted to spend all the money really wanted to play Shoukry into a national league he wanted Shoukry to be considered amongst the most important houses of the day so he used all this money to use the best architects the best artists and to completely cover the that the parkland with these up-to-date brand-new modern monuments very different very unique of the eight monuments scattered across the grounds one has been linked to the legend of the Templars lost treasure it's the so called Sheppard's monument referring to a copied image of the Arcadian shepherds by the French painter Nicola Pusa letters carved into the marble below a seen by some as part of a secret code linked to an ancient enigma one of the strangest most intriguing mysteries about the shepherd monument here jobra are the only ten letters underneath the monument itself there's a d' lower than the other eight with an M at the far end the alleged cipher that uses these separate letters etched into the Shepards monument has been nicknamed the DM code those who believe it could be the key to an ancient mystery claim that the DM code was mentioned by the infamous 16th century prophet of doom Nostradamus a quatrain in his book centuries reads when the inscription DM is found in the ancient cave revealed by a lamp lure the king and Prince o piant ride the Queen and Duke in the pavilion undercover this could be interpreted as when the DM code is decrypted a very ancient underground place will be found then laws kings and princes will be seriously tried could this underground place refer to a secret Templar chapel the DM code is a relatively modern invention yet people have been trying to decipher it for more than 200 years perhaps the key that could unlock the DM code lies beyond the enigmatic gardens of Shugborough Hall in Paris where the painting featured on the Shepards monument Nicola Pusa is 17th century masterpiece the Arcadian Shepherds is kept to the Louvre the painting features three shepherds and a woman gathered around a tomb in a dreamlike landscape representing Arcadia a kind of ancient Greek paradise on earth on the tomb a Latin inscription reads at in Arcadia ego which could be translated as I too am in Arcadia but there is another entirely unorthodox translation the Latin phrase can also be read as an anagram I take Oh arcane day which means I keep God's secrets the Shepherd's hands have also been seen as lying in an unnatural and uncomfortable position was the artist trying to convey some sort of hidden message Nikola Pusa was commissioned to paint the Arcadian Shepherds for an influential Cardinal who would eventually become Pope it wasn't only the painting but the artist himself who seemed to attract the attention of influential figures the king of France was interested in nikola Pusa and a letter between mutual friends of both men seems to suggest that the painter held the key to some fantastic secret part of that letter reads he and I have planned certain things about which I will be able to fill you in shortly things that because of monsieur pasa will give you a Vantage's that Kings would find it difficult to extract from him and perhaps after him nobody will rediscover for centuries to come and these are things so difficult to search for that nothing on earth could be a better fortune and this cannot be equalled what were these secrets that could give such fantastic advantage to their holder that nobody on earth would be able to gain it again for centuries to come legends of treasure hidden by the mystical Knights Templar and an apparent trail of clues left in ancient monuments and paintings leads to a historic church in the Eternal City Rome the Church of San Lorenzo in lugina was erected on ruins linked to an ancient Christian cult curious relics include a small door which opens to reveal a throne used exclusively by the Pope during Privy Council meetings and a monument dedicated to the French painter Nicola Poussin beneath his bust is another engrave replica of his famous painting the Arcadian Shepherds it's this mysterious picture that was chosen to honor his memory above hundreds of other works a fellow-countryman the novel is Chateaubriand the monument erected in 1832 it features a latin verse that pays homage to Pusan but it also seems to suggest that his paintings hold some sort of clue hold back your pious tears Prosser lives in this tomb he had given his life without knowing how to die he keeps quiet in here but if you want to hear him speak it's surprising how he lives and talks in his paintings if Pusa held some kind of magnificent secret perhaps the solution can be found in his paintings the Arcadian Shepherd's has attracted the interest of influential people over the centuries including King Louis the fifteenth and hundreds of years ago it was this very painting that the great navigator George Anson had engraved on the mysterious Shepherds monument at Shugborough Hall but this carved replica is not the same a finger that originally pointed to the letter n is missing the carved image has also been inverted with the addition of a pyramid on top of the two what does it all mean there are many theories and interpretations and some of these lead back to that mysterious and secretive order of holy Knights the Templars some say the carving represents the tomb of Christ the shepherdess Mary Magdalene and the bearded shepherd a Templar Knight letters are also said to be hidden in the carved image letters that point to a compelling tale of Knights crossing the Atlantic centuries before Columbus discovered the Americas according to this theory letters on the monument can be decoded to read the name of the Canadian province Nova Scotia amazingly one of the words that appears in the carving of Poussin's painting refers to exactly the same part of the world by taking out the are in Arcadia as suggested by the Shepherd's thumb the word Acadia appears this is the old French name for Nova Scotia but what links the Knights Templar and their legendary lost treasure to a far off shore across the Atlantic in Canada the trail of these elusive Knights and fabled riches found in the heart of the Holy Land now moves to the North American continent here evidence of secret societies linked to the Templars can be traced back to the earliest recorded settlements on Canada's east coast the French colony was governed by Isaac Durazo Lee a great night in the hospital ei order of some John of Jerusalem which inherited some of the Templars worldly goods a descendant of those early settlers gol-do se has tried to find the origin of the French name Acadia only possibly not sure of the origin and 1524 an explorer called Verrazano named the region surrounding philadelphia Arcadian a paradise on earth according to greek mythology and some people think that when the max would cope with the region was moved higher on the map but later in Arcadia they dropped the art to make Acadia we're not 100% sure according to another theory the name Acadia comes from the indigenous Mi'kmaq Indians like other native people on the North American continent their legends passed down through generations they tell of white skin people who came from the ocean well before Columbus intriguingly some Mi'kmaq Indiana resembles the red Templar cross on a white background but there's no evidence they made it to North America a long way from their original mission in Jerusalem Temple is escaping to America is a great fantasy isn't it what would be the point in taking treasures to Nova Scotia when the whole point of the order was protect you isn't yet in Nova Scotia the appropriately named gold river leads to more glittering conjecture and legends of hidden temple or treasure the river flows into Mahoney Bay where one of a dozen islands hides a real mystery which remains unsolved to this day the oak island treasure pit legend began in 1795 a local man Daniel McGinnis apparently stumbled on a small Glade amid the oak trees he saw the faint outline of a small depression as if something was buried there believing he may have stumbled across a horde of pirate treasure he went back to get tools and two friends to help him local tourism director Danny henagar describes what happened next they started digging in this depression fully expecting to find Peyer gold they ducked down about two feet struck something hard in the hole with their shovels and of course they were expecting to find a treasure chest and as he uncovered this object in the hole they discovered that the thirteenth foot in diameter oppression was actually opening up into a thirteen foot in diameter shaft and the the hard thing that they struck in the hole was actually a layer of flag stones that was covering the mouth of the shaft that had debris filled so they continued digging taking those rocks out and expecting of course any moment to find treasure some three meters down there was no treasure but a kind of wooden platform they removed it and kept digging only to find another wooden platform nine meters beneath the surface at that time of course they felt that they were in over the heads excuse the the pun but they decided then to try and get help from mainlanders and they couldn't get any help people are actually scared of Oak Island because it's always has a superstitious character about it and of course at that time in 1795 people didn't have the time really to pursue a treasure hunt and a lot of people thought these three young men were quite crazy actually new excavations began several years later in 1803 around every three meters the treasure hunters hid a platform of wooden beams heart-shaped stones fragments of coal and coconut fibres were also found then some 28 metres down they hid a mysterious stone the stories tell us that the digging was easy and we interpret that as meaning that the worth a lot of large stones would be removed and the earth was easily removed obviously because they've been refilled again so at the 90-foot 93-foot level they found the stone that later became known as the warning stone for the inscribed stone when they roll the stone over they found that there's characters itched into the face of the stone such as none of them could interpret it wasn't a known language at least to anybody there at the time and they took the stone and pitched it to one side and continued digging in the bottom of this pen the purpose of the so-called warning stone became clear it appeared to mark a boundary digging beyond it workers found themselves engulfed by water flooding into the pit the next day or so when they came back they finished off this dig they discovered there were 60 feet of water laying in this pit and they tried to bail them they couldn't they tried bailing with buckets they didn't have pumps about time at least not on Oak Island to use and though their spirits are crushed in they basically left Oak Island the flooded pit remained inaccessible for more than 40 years the infamous warning stone disappeared by the 1900s the pet attracted hordes of treasure hunters eager to try their luck at defeating the flood defenses that seemed to protect whatever was buried there they included a certain Franklin D Roosevelt future president of the United States no treasure has been found but evidence has been uncovered of an ingenious tidal flood trap one of the most vexing and damning problems trying to secure the treasure or solve the mystery wealth island has been the water that has appeared deep underground an old Island at first of course people thought it was natural water inclusion until they discovered it was saltwater and not only was a saltwater but Rosenfeld with the tight so they knew there must be a connection between the money pit where they are digging for the treasure and the ocean and they went to the what was living the most obvious location five hundred and twenty feet away in a place called Smith's Cove so as they're walking across the beach when the tide went out they noticed the water was gushing from the beach from the sand as it was being squeezed from a giant sponge they notice that was a very unusual trait to find in any Beach so they started to do some excavation and when they are finished they had excavated over 145 feet of the beach surface five feet deep and they discovered buried under layers of sand and gravel and stones eel grass and so much coconut fiber the artificial beach concealed an elaborate network of channels they ended in a kind of storm drain linked to the so-called treasure pit it is felt by many people that this is a structure that was artificially buried in the ground by the depositors with the intention of securing the money pit so that if you didn't know the way to get into it you'd be stopped by the flow of the Atlantic Ocean and it's worked very very well and it's even suspected that there's more than one flood tunnel in fact it's known by treasure hunters that there may be two of these flood tunnels who could have devised and built an artificial beach irrigation tunnels and a multi platform pit at least 30 meters deep although Oak Island is mired in mystery there have been some real fascinating finds including an enigmatic piece of parchment that lay hidden under almost 50 metres of soil and stones legends of lost treasure lead to this mysterious Canadian Island where an ancient parchment fragment could hold the clue to a secret burial pit this piece of parchment actually exists for this day but it was studied by experts at Harvard University it was declared to be a piece of sheepskin parchment upon which there's writing in India ink done with a quill pen other artifacts have been found on Oak Island have been Spanish style scissors that we found under the beach and Smith's Cove a heart-shaped stone that was found in his in the same area and during some deep drilling exercises on Oak Island back in the nineteen seventies the late 60s they actually brought under the ground pieces of chain pieces of drawn wire and metal that was so brittle that when it was exposed to air or was so old that was exposed to air turn brittle and oxidized immediately there's conflicting evidence as to the age of materials found in the pit timber has been dated to the Year 1575 to an accuracy of plus or minus 85 years but coconut fibers recovered at the same site were found to be much older there's a lot of skeptical analysis about Oak Island but one of the things the skeptics cannot explain away is the coconut fiber that has been found in Oak Island and it can actually be found on Oak Island still if you know where to dig some of those coconut fibers actually been in that analyzed and has found have been from the year from the seventh century or perhaps the sixth century now I don't know what the accuracy level is of the carbon dating that was done but nonetheless that's the information we have to work with coconut palms are not native to Nova Scotia someone must have brought the fibers there some believe the Oak Island Pit bears all the hallmarks of the legendary Knights Templar or their descendents engineering skill military discipline and secrecy but for one scholar other equally fascinating scenarios are more probable if you're looking for people digging tidal pits from Nova Scotia where there were all those Vikings who settled in Greenland couldn't it be them who are doing it there was still a Viking settlement in Greenland until the late 15th century and then they disappeared where did they go nobody knows something mysterious has discovered like a pizza or a cave with mysterious markings and then people automatically think oh it's got to be the templates the most interesting fairies to me center around the Templar knights I find those theories very interesting although it is kind of ten of them the Templars had ships based at La Rochelle on the northwest coast of France before they were attacked by the ruthless King Philip in 1307 we know that some boats left La Rochelle what was on them we just don't know at all and those boats vanished they would have had to have gone somewhere that was beyond the reach of the church and Philip the places that would have been most likely would have in England and Scotland but those who think the Templars could have made it to Nova Scotia point to the presence of related organizations like the Order of Malta and the Freemasons among the region's early settlers in the 16 and 1700s yes there happens some things found with regard to the Templar theory that's sort of fire people's imagination one of the many things has been discovered on Oak Island is a stone with the letter G carved into it now if you do some research on the Masonic Lodge you'll discover that the letter G is one of the symbols that they use in their allegory and the letter and of course the Templar knights can be connected with the Masonic Lodge as well Oak Island is now privately owned excavations continue but so far no treasure has emerged from the enigmatic tidal pit yet real Templar related treasure does exist near the place where the first master of the order Hugh de panne was born a breathtaking horde of hundreds of silver coins dating from the Templar period was found in 1998 by Bernard Ellicott Rasika is also know even if the coins were stuck together forming packages packages of coins it was impossible to estimate the quantity to start with but I nevertheless realized from the beginning that it was a major discovery but the silver horde isn't the legendary Templar treasure of biblical wonders Solomon's Temple or ancient world changing wisdom although they were brutally crushed some seven hundred years ago the Knights Templar live on in legends that illuminate modern lives dulled by gray suburban conformity we live in this culture which is very very materialistic and the templars offer a bit of romance mystery and intrigue I think palaces are to enjoy and to enliven our darkened towers but we've got to remember that they are fantasy I know some people base their lives around the Templar myths I think that's quite dangerous actually you can lose touch with reality myths and legends are at their most interesting when they remain undeciphered when they have been created for that purpose this is more common than you would imagine

Thanks for sharing. Good stuff here! Further down the wormhole I go..

At the 24-minute mark, narrator remarks about the oddly-shaped posing of hands in the Poussin 'Shepherd's' painting (24:08) and Shugborough sculpture (24:16): three middle fingers bunched up, smaller thumb and 'pinky' fingers spread to each side. An elephant's trunk between two tusks? Another image at 21:34 focuses on two hands, the fingertips of which disappear into the Shugborough monument (i.e., they are 'truncated'). Getting any hints here? Anybody remember that OI is shaped like a little elephant, and that Rick discovered a 'tusk' to the north of the elephant's trunk in Season 1. Episode 1? Lots of pictures in Ike Schatzinsel's recent "Don't know about the elephant in the room, . . . ." a few days ago. Here's the link:
