The great fear of the Year Thousand had boosted their devotion. They went to <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/initiation-tradition-heritage-mother-goose-compostelle-fairy-tales.html\">Compostela<\/a>, <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/calendar-caesar-pope-gregory-year-s-eve-spring-printemps-the-roman-year.html\">Rome<\/a>, and especially to the Holy Land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\">The Eastern Roads being unsafe, pilgrims were constantly spoiled or killed by the Moors. This is why, from 1095 AD, the pope preached the First Crusade. Urban II asked the Christians from the West to take up arms to rescue the Christians from the East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\"><blockquote class=\"perfect-quotes\"><p>Non nobis, domine, non nobis  sed nomini tuo da gloriam  &#8212;&#8212;&#8211;  Not for us, Lord, not for us but for the glory of your name.<\/p><footer class=\"blockquote-footer\">Templars&#8217; Motto<\/footer><\/blockquote><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><em>God&#8217;s Will!<\/em><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">At the cry of <em>&#8220;God will!&#8221;<\/em>, all those who took part in the crusade were marked by the sign of the cross, becoming the Crusaders. Note that the patt\u00e9e cross of the Templars has little to do with that of a certain Jesus. <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/en\/jesus-in-questions.html\">Uncertain<\/a> would be better. The four branches are equal, as on all pre-Christian crosses. And the flared shape, moreover, is far from the instrument of torture &#8212; which in Roman times did not resemble a crucifix, but the letter T. The crusaders of the Temple were rolling for Rome and for gold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">On July 15th 1099, under the leadership of Godfrey of Bouillon, the Christian troops took <a class=\"link\" title=\"And its Temple, the third after Solomon\" href=\"\/en\/hebraic-mythology-son-of-david-king-judgment-schlomo-suleiman-solomon.html\">Jerusalem<\/a>. Acclaimed by his peers as the king of Jerusalem, Godfrey of Bouillon took possession of the Holy Sepulcher. Some armed men then began serving the <a class=\"link\" title=\"discover the true Patriarchs\" href=\"\/en\/hebraic-greek-mythology-former-gods-long-live-ancestors-bible-patriarchs.html\">patriarch<\/a> to ensure his security. Soon the need was felt for an armed militia that would protect the pilgrims.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">The army of Christ<\/h4>\n<p class=\"clear\">Thus was born the army of Christ, the first version of the Knights Templars. They set up their headquarters in the buildings of the Temple of <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/antique-planes-bacon-vinci-rousseau-ufo-landing-on-arased-mountains-solomon-s-thrones.html\">Solomon<\/a> in Jerusalem. Around <a href=\"#\">Hugh Payens,<\/a><span class=\"note\">French payen or pa\u00efen means pagan<\/span> the militia gathered seven valiant knights who were named Geoffrey de Saint-Omer, Andr\u00e9 de Montbard, <a href=\"#\">Payen Montdidier,<\/a><span class=\"note\">French payen or pa\u00efen means pagan<\/span> Geoffroy Brisol Frameries, Rolland de Provence, Saint-Amand Archambault and the mysterious Gondemare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\">Thanks to the help of Moorish contacts, Gondemare made an astonishing discovery.<\/p>\n<p>A scholar of his friends gave him a bundle of papyrus texts which were written in Coptic and in Greek. In this time, noble people spoke Latin and read Greek fluently. The Knights did not escape this rule. Certainly, the ancient calligraphy discouraged them a bit, but the text was too exciting. They deciphered with passion travel books about <a class=\"link\" title=\"not that much!\" href=\"\/en\/atlantis-american-gods-coming-back-to-wild-europe.html\">forgotten maritime roads<\/a>, to a distant continent where gold, silver and gems were harvested in abundance. And came for them the <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/australian-mythology-aborigen-tjukurpa-balame-snake-waugal-wagyl-paradise-on-earth-.html\">time of Dream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\" style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29301\" src=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/croix-templiere-2-1600X960px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">A treasure&#8217;s map<\/h4>\n<p>Coupled with the scrolls, they unfolded a sheepskin in which was painted a maritime map. A real treasure&#8217;s map. The Atlantic Ocean showed its two shores, the road Aliz\u00e9es was well indicated, dotted with wind roses at the changes of course. On the opposite mainland, you could see the locations of mines of silver and gems. The Knights had read Plato&#8217;s fascinating dialogues, Timaeus and Critias. The land of plenty, would it be <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/greek-philosophy-mythology-timeos-critias-plato-s-atlantis.html\">the philosopher&#8217;s Atlantis<\/a>? The Knights were not interested in wealth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">They were secretly fascinated by the adventure and excitement of the discovery for the glory of Christ. For now, they had other emergencies. Their Order being insufficient in number, they needed to transform their militia <a class=\"link\" title=\"I'm kind of doubting that...\" href=\"\/en\/recentism-fomenko-middle-ages-gone-christ-invention-consequence-great-plague-xiv-century.html\">into a religious order<\/a>. Bernard of Clairvaux, the future Saint-Bernard, pleaded their cause with the Pope, who took the Knights under his direct protection. In 1129, the Council of Troyes endorsed the creation of a congregation anti-charity and surreal: the Knights Monks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\">As the monks of ShaoLin, the <em>Poor Knights of Christ and of the <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/hebraic-mythology-son-of-david-king-judgment-schlomo-suleiman-solomon.html\">Temple of Solomon<\/a><\/em> were kings of fighting. These gutters of Moors mandated by the Pope hacked into pieces in the day, dressed the wounds in the evening, and at night prayed for the salvation of the souls of their victims. Good heaven, in the holy name of God, there is something messing a lot in there. Here is where it leads to claim to be God of Love while you are\u00a0Sabaoth, God of Armies&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Do they work <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/constantine-emperor-consecration-christ-sol-invictus-ab-urbe-condita-.html\">for Jesus or for Rome<\/a>?<\/h4>\n<p>Jesus Christ! What is there in common between his message of love and these mercenaries who sever and who cut? We remember the saying of Jesus on those who use the sword. We remember his rejection of the political thing: <em>&#8220;Render unto <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/calendar-caesar-pope-gregory-year-s-eve-spring-printemps-the-roman-year.html\">Caesar<\/a> what is Caesar&#8217;s and unto God what is God&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/em> It is true that the Popes&#8217; luxury is the opposite of the asceticism of Jesus who had not even a stone to lay his head. But still&#8230; there is something fishy. Militia of the Pope, the Knights Templar ensure first the Roman peace.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/history-medieval-europe-middle-east-america-hugues-de-payns-the-templars-gold.html\">The Templars<\/a>\u00a0are a Christian order of knights-monks directly depending on the pope &#8212; ie on the emperor of Rome. They represent the Roman power in western Europe and were even entitled to tax people. Quickly the order of the Temple became the first fortune and the first power in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19436 size-full\" title=\"Illustration de Godefroy de Bouillon, personnage central -- Illustration of Godfrey of Bouillon (central figure) from William of Tyre's Histoire d'Outremer, in the care of the British Museum --- https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Godfrey_of_Bouillon#\/media\/File:Godfrey_of_Bouillon_from_Histoire_d%27Outremer.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/godefroy-de-bouillon-688po.jpg\" alt=\"godefroy-de-bouillon-688po\" width=\"688\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">Modern Banking<\/h4>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Knights of the Temple<\/em>\u00a0also served as escort and tour operators for pilgrims, becoming the first Club Med counselors in French history.

When the pilgrims saw dust arise from the familiar faces, they knew they were saved. Soon the Templars owned a fleet of merchant ships that served both to transport pilgrims and goods. All along the land or sea road, Templars were everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>At every stop was a Templar Preceptory, ensuring the safety of pilgrims, providing food and shelter, and even, if necessary, replenishing their purses in coin of the realm. As the Templars were established throughout Europe, each pilgrim, before leaving, took care to get to the nearest Preceptory, to pour a certain amount of money to receive in exchange a promissory note in any Western or Eastern Templar place. These\u00a0<em>&#8220;travelers cheques&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>rapidly knew a great success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\">Sparing the risk of bringing gold, the promissory notes became very popular. On this simple idea was built the colossal empire of the Temple, and formed his famous lost treasure. So, without thinking, the Templars invented the bank!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">The Art Of Sacred Building<\/h4>\n<p>They were also builders, and on what scale! They covered Europe with a white mantle of chapels, churches, command posts, basilicas and\u00a0<a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/bioenergy-geoenergy-medieval-architecture-roman-gothic-compagnons-builders-crypts-and-cathedral.html\">cathedrals<\/a>, that would mark forever the European landscape. Funded by money from the Temple, countless sites opened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clear\"><a class=\"link\" title=\"It stopped at the dissolution of the Temple\">The 12th and 13th centuries<\/a>\u00a0were a genuine pre-Renaissance in the arts, craft and engineering.
