Knights Templar<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ of the Temple of Solomon<\/span><\/a>, also known as the Order of Solomon’s Temple, the Knights Templar<\/span><\/a>, or simply the Templars, was a military order of the Catholic faith, founded in 1119. It was one of the wealthiest and most popular military orders in Western Christianity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the purposes of creating the Order of the Temple was to protect pilgrims to and from Jerusalem. They traveled from all over Europe and faced various dangers and assaults on the way, so the Order of the Temple created letters of credit, by allowing pilgrims to deposit values at the trip’s origin, then collect them safely upon their return or elsewhere. Thus, the Templars were the first \u201cbankers\u201d in the world!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Portugal<\/span><\/a>, the knowledge, habits, richness, and lands of the Order of the Temple were inherited by instruction of King Dinis, by the Order of Christ:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following their spiritual\/cosmological impulses, 9 knights discovered the Nasorean Scrolls, revealing treasures far beyond their wildest dreams. Yet, those were treasures they could not share with the world at that time:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the Knights Templar were Master Stone masons, designing and building formidable castles, cathedrals, and chapels across Europe. They introduced holy geometry into their Gothic masterpieces, like Chartres Cathedral in France.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many Gothic Cathedrals across Europe, show the names of master builders responsible for their construction and design. They would cut their names into floors or walls, for they wanted future generations to know who they were.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When we stand back and look at the magnificent Chartres Gothic Cathedral, with its exquisite carvings standing proud for all to see and admire such works\u2026 one has to ask who these architects and builders were.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following metaphysical impulses, the Knights Templar<\/span><\/a> sought the \u201cArk of the Covenant\u201d, a wooden box overlaid with gold, containing stone tablets, inscribed with 10 Commandments, that was supposedly buried under Solomon\u2019s Temple in Jerusalem. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

French architect, Louis Charpentier, claims that the Knights Templar built Chartres Cathedral as a repository for ancient wisdom. As men of the Christ, they would not want their names cut into the stone of Chartres, just their cross:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1128, the Knights Templar<\/span><\/a> appear to have brought back from Jerusalem<\/span> extraordinary initiatory documents<\/span> for the Cistercian Bernard de Clairvaux:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It led to 150 years of cosmologically inspired and dedicated cathedral building: the architect sketching with compass, set square, and ruler, the essential elements and their proportions. The master builder taking it<\/span><\/a> from there:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Order of the Temple<\/span><\/a> warehoused, financed, bought, and became exceedingly rich in lands, cash and credit. All was organized in the public interest. They protected merchants and the movement of goods from robbers and grand seigneurs. Their dwellings were a sort of police station. The Knights Templar were probably financing many projects, because they also knew how to make the alchemical gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

They undermined the existing feudal system so much that French King Philippe Le Bell had their properties confiscated, but before that happened most Templar knights had moved their treasures and themselves to their safe-haven\u00a0European headquarters<\/span><\/a> in Tomar, Portugal<\/span><\/a>, where they changed their order’s name to the Order of Christ<\/span><\/a>, to avoid further damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The remainder of them were tortured to death or burnt alive, 716 years ago, on Friday, October 13, 1307, in France:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
