The Knight Templar & The Holy Grail

Founded after the first crusade(1099) the Templar got the Temple Mount as home, right on top of were once the Temple of Salomon stood.
They had plenty of time to look for the treasures rumoured to be hidden there, such as the ark and the holy grail.

At dawn on Friday, 13 October 1307 (a date sometimes linked with the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition)
King Philip IV ordered de Molay and scores of other French Templars to be simultaneously arrested. The arrest warrant started with the phrase: "Dieu n'est pas content, nous avons des ennemis de la foi dans le Royaume" ["God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the kingdom"]

Apparently some of the Knights Templar fled from LaRochelle to Scotland with their treasure.
Later they needed a more secure place to hide it and one of them Prince Henry I Sinclair seems to have followed the Vikings route to the not yet founded USA, leaving several marks hinting towards the place where the treasure could now be hidden.
His family built Rosslyn Chapel, which has Templar and Holy Grail written all over it.
One of the main clues towards his journey is the Kennsington Runestone

enscribed with the date 1362 and the Newport Tower

Is the holy grail hidden on Oak Island and was Columbus fullfilling the Templars prophecy of a New Jerusalem when he went on his journey?

especially the X with a check indicates he was a freemason himself.

They were quarted under Temple Mount in the stables. That made it even more convenient to dig unhindered....being below.

I just finished reading it and saw your post.

Yeah, why does an X with a check indicate he was a Freemason?

I always liked the third Indiana Jones to all the rest. The Last Crusade.

Actually I have it in 1080P as I do all of Indiana Jones. Maybe I'll go watch it, was wondering what to do.

As for your ideas? I've books about it before. They were actually quite intriguing.

I have no doubt the grail story itself is not true though. Perhaps it may have to do with material treasure accumulated by the Knights Templar.

They were a very violent order. A very violent one.

Years ago I had a dream, almost as if I had been transported to the battlefield, I had never seen anything like this in real life. And what I saw was horrible. A lot of Knights Templar slaughtering people, most of them were common ordinary people, just blood running everywhere. When I awoke it stayed on my mind. I guess you know that, because I can remember it even all these years later. It's hard to say that about most dreams.

Because it's not part of the original old Swedish runes and only shows up in the few Templar writings and the tablet the cisterciensier used for dating which is also on the Kensington Runestones.

So how would that prove he was a Freemason?

All it might prove is it is a part of signature

What makes that Masonic?

i have been to Roslyn chapel, and had a great experience there, truly remarkable place, and it has engravings of corn, that are older than when America was apparently first discovered, yet corn could only be found in America at the time, i dont know how much of this is truth as it was the tour guide that was saying it, but it is definitely corn that is depicted in the carvings i saw.
i remember going down into a room below the chapel that is supposed to have hidden chambers below it that no one knows whats inside as it is a sealed room. i remember feeling dizzy when i was down there and had to leave, strange feeling.
Cheers

Operative Masonry predates the Templars.

It's not my own theory, Scott F. Wolter wrote a book about it, the hooked X.

a reply to: Peeple

Which has zero substantive proof being that the Kensington Rune Stone is not considered a credible artifact by anyone other than conspiracy theorists. There is nothing Masonic about a 'x' with a hook.

Which is largely based on speculation. While speculation can be a good thing, in this case there is not a shred of credible evidence to even speculate about.

I beg to differ. It is a genuine artifact.click
But it is okay, I would be more worried if you and I would agree

Are you seriously linking me to a book that doesn't even get the old name of Norway (norðrvegr, meaning northern way) right?

a reply to: Peeple

A totally unsourced site.

And this makes a pretty good point why it can't be a hoax, or how would he have had access to the old cisterciensier dating table, the easter table?
