  • Their Treasure Is Buried On Oak Island on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#6) Their Treasure Is Buried On Oak Island

    When Sinclair allegedly came over from Europe in the late 1300s, he brought with him a trove of treasure. It's said he buried it on Oak Island, an island off the coast of Nova Scotia. According to legend, on the day King Philip indicted the Knights Templar, the Order loaded up their various treasures from their headquarters in Paris and loaded it onto boats. From there, the boats were sent to Scotland and eventually settled with Sinclair. He hid the treasure in Rosslyn Chapel.

    In an attempt to start a new, utopian Order, he and the treasure - along with the Zeno brothers of Venice and handful of others - sailed to modern day Canada. The new Order did not survive, and instead of heading back to Europe they buried the treasure on Oak Island. The treasure is protected by a "Money Pit" full of complicated traps. 

    Since the 19th century, treasure hunters have come to the island in hopes of finding the Order's bounty - many of whom died. In 2006, brothers Michigan natives Rick and Marty Lagina purchased a major stock in the island and got the go ahead to start excavating it. They've since starred in a TV show on The History Channel about their attempts to locate the treasure called The Curse of Oak Island

  • They (Somewhat) Control The US Government on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#9) They (Somewhat) Control The US Government

    Many believe that after the Order officially disbanded in the 12th Century, they formed the Freemasons. Conspiracy theories surrounding the Freemasons are vast and include everything from controlling the media, elections, and universities to the popularity of celebrities

    So how does this connect to the Knights Templar exactly? Well, according to conspiracy theorists the Illuminati, Freemasons, Knights Templar, and Jews are working together to establish a New World Order deeply rooted in the occult that threatens Christianity worldwide. This will be done through population control, non-religious government controls, and mind control through mass media. If this seems crazy that's because it is. Modern New World Order believers include televangelists, neo-nazis, and alt-right groups who support white supremacy. 

  • They Discovered Treasure And Knowledge While Digging Beneath Temple Mount on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#3) They Discovered Treasure And Knowledge While Digging Beneath Temple Mount

    While the Knights Templar were still operating on behalf of Christianity during the Crusades, they used a royal palace called Temple Mount as their Jerusalem headquarters. Modern archeologists have dug underneath Temple Mount in an attempt to discover more about what life was like during that time and any artifacts the Order (or others) might have left behind. 

    But some think there's more to the story. Why would modern archeologists and scholars be digging under Temple Mount? Could it be that's exactly where the Order discovered ancient records of Christianity? Possibly. Some speculate the Knights found evidence the Catholic Church was not practicing Christianity the way Jesus and his followers intended, putting the church in jeopardy. Is it possible modern governments are searching for the same sort of information as they dig under Temple Mount? 

  • They Kept Their Secrets - Including The Holy Grail - In Rosslyn Chapel on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#5) They Kept Their Secrets - Including The Holy Grail - In Rosslyn Chapel

    Before Sinclair departed for North America, it's believed he hid many of the Order's treasures in Rosslyn Chapel. The chapel construction began in 1446 in Scotland and was at the behest of the Sinclair clan. It still stands today, and is considered one of the finest pieces of architecture in Scotland. Among its many architectural features are 213 cubes with inscriptions in them. 

    Many believe these inscriptions are Order-related, and even skeptics have found them fascinating and strange. Some say the inscriptions are a code to what lies beneath the chapel. At one time, it was speculated the Holy Grail, the mummified head of Jesus, the crown jewels of Scotland, and a vast amount of treasure were stored in a tomb underneath the temple. No entrance to any tomb has ever been found. 

  • The Friday The 13th Superstition Began With The Knights Templar on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#7) The Friday The 13th Superstition Began With The Knights Templar

    The Knights Templar were arrested on Friday, October 13, 1307 on the orders of French King Philip IV. At the time, Philip owed the knights a substantial amount of of money. Instead of paying up he accused them of being heretics and devil worship - something that would stick with the Knights Templar throughout history - and had them arrested. They were subsequently burned at the stake. 

    While many point to Friday the 13th's origin as lore from the Bible, some say the fear of the day actually is derived from the knights's arrests

  • Their Execution Was To Cover Up Information About The Blood Line Of Christ on Random Interesting Theories Historians Have Proposed About Knights Templar

    (#1) Their Execution Was To Cover Up Information About The Blood Line Of Christ

    One theory popularized in modern culture - specifically in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code - is that the Knights Templar were not killed because King Phillip didn't want to pay them what he owed them. Instead they were killed for what they knew about the secret bloodline of Christ - specifically that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had a child. 

    The secret society that held this knowledge was called the Priory of Scion, which had deep connections to the Knights Templar. It's said all of Jesus's alleged descendants were killed off by the Roman Catholic Church. Because of this they knew they also had to kill anyone with knowledge of their existence - including the knights. Some say this was partially motivated to keep Jesus as a Christ figure and to allow Paul to ascend to power over Mary Magdalene and her decedents, presumably the children of Jesus.
