For nearly two centuries, the Knights Templar was the most powerful order in the medieval world. Despite their long reign of power, the order experienced a sudden collapse in the fourteenth century when certain members stood accused of unspeakable crimes and were subsequently tortured and killed. This documentary interviews some of the world's leading biblical scholars and visits historic sites throughout Europe and the Near East to examine the past of this mysterious order.  Did the Knights, as many believe, guard the Holy Grail?  Or was the object of their fervour buried a thousand years before the birth of Christ? https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/products/holy-blood-holy-grail-michael-baigent-richard-leigh-henry-lincoln
