In this dynamic two-part lecture presentation, based on material from his explosive book First Templar Nation, bestselling author Freddy Silva reveals a previously unknown chapter in the story of these enigmatic Templar knights. He explores the Holy Grail, its location, the Templar’s secret initiation chambers, and evidence that the knights practiced an ancient ritual in which candidates were “risen from the dead.” As secrets go, this one's been well kept. Officially, the Knights Templar was created in 1118, after the Order took up residence on Temple Mount in Jerusalem. But what if, a decade earlier, the Templars were already active in another land two thousand miles to the west?, What if they were carrying out a covert exercise to create Europe's first nation-state and there, established a kingdom within a kingdom? All this in the one place no one has ever thought to look. Could this be a cover-up or a conspiracy theory? You decide.
