This has nothing or very little to do with the Knights Templar who were originally honest monks called the "Poor Soldiers of Christ" who became the Order of Solomon's Temple. Later the Knights Templar. The monks opened up the Order to lay people who held wealth and property. Upon entering they gave up their lands and possessions. In turn, the Knights used the money for campaigns into the Holy Land. They developed the 1st banking system (the forerunner of the Swiss Bank). A pilgrim to the Holy Land would put their money into a Templar bank at home, with no fear of being robbed (which is one of the reasons the Templars went on crusade) having no money, would bring a note from the Templars at home then, withdraw it in the Holy Land. There are thousands of documents by the Templars containing vows, real estate purchases, business acquisitions all for the sake of the crusades. The Templars' unfortunate end came from not paganism, or some alternate form or Christianity but the overspending of the King of France. He could no longer pay them, deeply in debt to many, he was informed of the Templars' true wealth, went to the Pope, who 1st refused dissolving the Order but with pressure, relented. ALL the charges were made out of whole cloth (complete fabrication). The Merovingian Dynasty were simply human, not Divine, not descended from Jesus at all. We have the entire family tree as well as a complete DNA sequence taken from a Merovingian Queen's big toe. This is nothing but DaVinci Code Mark III (since there was a (Mark II), and a bit of Zeitgeist thrown in for effect. Sorry, I have studied and researched a lot of history in my time! It is a fun show however! We like fantasy and fairytales!

This went from zero to sixty in really short time :D >first half: legit history >second half: wildest non-stop occultist speculation known to man

All this serpent stuff strikes me as hisssterical and hissstrionic.

This was interesting...but i have no idea what he's going on about....I thought this was supposed to be about the history of the templars

The driving anxiety in the musical score and the relentless commentary with innumerable loosely integrated facts leaves even the most avid listener lost in the verbiage.

You piqued my interest with the potential for a documentary on the templars what I got was less than ten minutes of history and almost a whole 50 minutes of conspiracy theory driven, pseudo-historical, History channel worthy garbage

GREAT VIDEO. Love this dive into the cultural myths that make up the mindset and atmosphere of the time!!

hahaha this is the documentary version of that always sunny meme. Came to watch an actual documentary on the Templars based in some approximation of historical fact. Still it was a very fun story with some interesting notes about European (and beyond) religious history. Still a fuckload of citation needed here.

Definitely one of my favourite parts of history to learn about. Always up for a documentary on the Knights Templar.

Cool documentary on schizophrenia, really gives a 7 dimensional, abstruse mino-king-child sun radiant perspective.

46 minutes into this and besides the very beginning I have not heard one thing about the Templars. Plus the constant stringing of ideas reminds me of Zeitgeist

Absolutely brilliantly done,sending Love to each of You protection Healing good health wealth your way 👊❤❤❤

Hardly a documentary...some facts surrounded by a web of speculation...and downright insanity

Watched hundreds of historic videos this one is my favourite in regards to how well it was put together.

for anyone who wants to know more about the knights Templar, read 'legends of the knights Templar' by A.A. Grishin.

What a fascinating documentary! There is much more to this subject than I ever imagined.

this documentary was a wild ride for the whole hour...I've never watched even a KZfaq Poop with a more disparate story and confusing timeline, but just as entertaining! Loved it!

Had very little to do with the Knights Templars. Was very very disappointed in it. Definitely it not worth watching again or even for the 1st time watching.

"Time Team" is a specific long running series in the UK. This is not affiliated with them. It is clickbaity. It is like putting a sign outside your home reading "McDonald's" inside there are 4 pinball machines and 2 chimps screeching wildly, while thrashing out blindly for fear of the bells. I guarantee, there is no burger or, side of fries for you today.

Excellent! A big, "Thank you!", to all concerned.

That was interesting. But I have to watch again. Bit confused in some bits. Saved it for a different day. Interesting. 👍👾

The cross shown in the beginning is a malteser cross and it was not the signia of the Templars but of the order of Saint John

So many of these claims about early Frankish leaders does not comport with recorded history. Of course I understand that this is a grail story, and is bound to be filled with fanciful tales and allusions to deep secrets. I got a laugh when the narrator said (to paraphrase) that Dagobert had secrets that people still don't know. Right, dude. It's called a secret for a reason. But I didn't expect such inaccuracies with historical fact. I guess if you're committed to telling a conspiracy legend you just have to accept whatever you're told by the creators of that tale.

9:00 old man twerking in the background got me acting up

I mean, it's not the best put together video ever, but I did have a bit of a giggle at " huge tracts of land" 😅👍

Ramblings of a mad man.

Well, this turned demonic!😃

I would like to know how the f*** you got a tree from a monkey

Thank you

Seems more a job for Doctor Freud than Doctor Jung this one.

Dragon in the Chalice? NO! The Flagon with the Dragon has the pellet with the poison, the Chalice from the Palace has the brew that is True!

so in short your saying that the Templars met some other blokes who had been taking magic mushrooms and told the Templars that some bloke called jesus who supposedley went around telling people he was the son of god was actually a snake ?...i did find it interesting but i wonder if you could make it a bit more simple and explain the connection between the Templars and what it is your saying that i dont understand ?

Amazing

Great history

_… so, why does it say “Time Team” in the title?_

As an individual that loves history. This is very good to know about. Kuros for the author.

59:19 That's the Manner Of Melchizedek.

I’m having trouble with the notification settings.. can’t get it to accept “all” option

The "Templar" cross you displayed in the intro is in fact a "Maltese" cross derived from the Knights of St. John (Knights Hospitallers), the other main warrior monks.

thank u

Real interesting history Too much Dan Brown silliness

Chronicle, if you give me more absurdities, such as this, I'm leaving you forever!

Medieval history.....mmmm...perhaps you should have made a doco on longbows...drawing them...certainly what is done here.

The search for the Holy grail. Pre-dates Christianity by many years. The ancient celts had it, it was called the cauldron of plenty. The Hebrew people had it, for them it was the stone that fell from heaven. The Christian version talks about the cup that gives ever lasting life. People have gone to enormous lengths to track down one version or another of these. The most popular Christian version is the cup Jesus used at the last supper, that Joesph of Arimathea used to collect his blood after the crucifixion. First of all the cup Jesus used at the last supper was no different to the cup anyone else used at the last supper. And secondly you didn't collect blood from corpses in Jewish tradition, it was the last thing you did! The grail is a coded allegorical description of the pathway to enlightenment, it's a transformative process, it's an intellectual and spiritual change. The Templars were recognised by King Baldwin the second in somewhere around about 1118. In 1127 they came scurrying back to Europe all of them all nine, met with the King of France and then went north to Scotland to a family known as the Sinclair's of Rosslyn, another branch of the Rex Deus families and within ten years they were granted properties at such a speed that in many cases they couldn't garrison them for some time afterwards. Nearly every Rex Deus family in Europe gave them property. Within eight months of returning to Europe they had obtained through the good offices of another Rex Deus member Bernard of Clairvaux or Bernard de Fontaine to give him his real name, they had obtained papal recognition. How 9 elderly Knights were meant to protect the pilgrim routes remains a bit of a mystery as they did nothing of the sort for the first nine years. They burrowed 120ft down through solid rock below the temple Mount. What they found is still under intense speculation. From the ark of the covenant to replicas of the dead Sea scrolls, hand on heart we just don't know. It's a fascinating story and most likely will never be revealed. A couple of years after that that were granted exemption from taxes from the Church and exempted taxes from the state, they were responsible to no King, no Emperor, no Bishop, only to the Pope alone through their Grand Master. It was a degree of autonomy that has never been granted to any order before or since.

20:38 Your researches are not complete. I'm of that line and I have marks on my body to prove it. Perhaps most notably, I have a 76 on my left hand. If youre not familiar with that seal, your research is lacking.

Enjoyed this

How is this "Time Team?"

This is NOT Time Team.....

What... what did i just watch? This made my head hurt. 😅

Idk where you got the bit about Levites coming from the word leviathan but etymologically speaking there is no basis for that, the root word which it derives from (Levite) is Lava, which means to join or be joined, to borrow or cause to borrow (TWOT reference 1087,1088) and the word Levi according to Strong’s H3881, means joined to and is the name of Jacobs third son. The word leviathan uses the same root word Lava but that in no way means Levi is a derivative of leviathan if the root word Lava came first. That means leviathan was pulled from lava which only means to be joined. This whole concept of loosely connecting words based on similar sounding is a method of the world wide church of God because God expressly forbids the worship of pagan idols and levites weren’t formed until after the law was given so what in the good name of the Lord are you talking about? This whole documentary was lacking in historical evidence and was based on opinions and presuppositions. I seriously question the legitimacy now of this channel and it’s ability to research thoroughly

You come off so confused

13:22 The moment a mate dropped by with some shrooms and they decided to just keep writing the documentary 😂

It's really strange how the narrator kept mispronouncing "retook" as "took". The Christians didn't take anything from the Muslims. Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity and before the Muslims took the holy land it came under Christian control when the Roman empire converted to Christianity from paganism. Judea was a Roman province. It was under Roman rule when Christians were still a persecuted minority that the Jewish temple was destroyed and the Jews, who had already massacres the natives of that region centuries before were exiled. How did you therefore workout that the crusades were aggressive and not reactionary? So when Muslims invade that's ok but if a Christian reacts they're taking from the Muslims? That's the same logic as manifest destiny. Funny how it works out differently for Amerindians though ay? If you're willing to lie about such easily provable history, I assume so you don't have an aeroplane flown into your face or get beheaded, then none of your documentary can be trusted. The thinness of your neck and forked tongue might prevent you telling any accurate history at all.

This is not a good doco in the sense that it really dosnt give a full account of the financial and true meaning of the knights templars and how they ran their institution,perhaps at some stage someone will tell their true story.

"... HUGE tracts of Land ...."

Yeah, no.

helpful...although could be more accurate or something - could have a part 2... am suppose

Half-goat half fish aka half-bull half fish is Capricorn, which is January, the actual month Jesus was born.

Bleeding nora !! 😊

Hi Mate. You know why my City Castelo Branco (Portugal) it was the templar capital from the 3 kingdoms Portugal Leão and Castela for 99 Years? Thanks

what a croc 🤦‍♀

18:15 What source is this coming from? The Carolingian's were the Holy Roman Emperors with Charlemagne being the first crowned by the Pope in 800. The Merovingians were long gone from ruling by then.

As a post-graduate historian, this man is full of it. He makes claims without evidence. What a pawn, and a waste of time.

There is no greater archetype than the warrior monk

I thought this channel presented actual history. Very disappointing.

He makes many unsupported leaps

We can glaze over the "accusations" thrown towards the Templars and move on to the convoluted story about the holy grail or we can actually draw some direct links. The final Grandmaster of the Templars was Jaques De Molay. He was burned at the stake with other Templar leaders because they were required to denounce Jesus as part of the initiation ceremony, this is also true at the to obtain the highest degrees in Freemasonry. The Freemasons also named their youth society De Molay after that same Grandmaster. We could go on and on but even just taking a look at the Templar's position in the world at the time and only imagine what they were getting involved in. A secret society that is the only international bank who are also above the law.

I wish there was a more in depth episode about the Merovingian Kings and their "connection" to Mary Magdalene(sp).

24:15 Its the Moon in Taurus and Sun in Aries that makes one of the Spiritual Brotherhood. 644, The Order Of Osiris.

Pheew, mate … what have you been smoking? And what happened to tripods? The shaky, jumpy, flickery footage is most annoying.

Knights Templar: The Rise And Fall Of The Mysterious Warrior Monks | Knights Templar | Time Team 0737am 11.7.23 the templers and carlos castenada being the two subjects i studiously boned up on when i first joined the library in rochdale as a youing kid... very interesting. as to whether or not they have their facts right re: templers.... who knows? nowadays middle eastern strife is probably still based within these templer crusade tales... you should go watch the film: man who would be king. as for carlos castenada - again, very interesting... no idea if anyone other than evil dead tv series referenced that mescal kiddie. horse shoe in aboriginal art means: man....

Bonkers theories

Turn to the Shuhborough Inscription.

nope... a lot of speculation and not real research...and the video is unwatchable due to amateur shaky-camera syndrome

Wtf did I just try to watch…

Judging from how many gnostic people seem to be dissatisfied this documentary hits a sweet spot, also showing perfectly how the templars ended up on the stakes. After the introduction of the serpent worship I began to doubt the integrity because of the resemblence to pseudo science (especially when I hear about Anunnaki) but you're only pointing out that those similarities did exist and the notion that humans like to connect the dots as an explanation on how the Templars could have had a motivation to mix symbols and other heresy that probably led to their downfall. Can't deny that this is some food for thought and the shroom example on how shared symbols populate isolated places is more plausible than "beavers everywhere build the same dams" or aliens imho.

Until this day we never knew what happened to the knight Templar with nipple tassels and ass less champs

Nonsense 😂 here is an idea for a future documentary: pyramids, Illuminati, Buddha, sacred cows, the moon, tales of la Sallona and other female ghosts, the chupacabras, Atlantis…and Go!!

I’m not convinced

Whatever this is, it ain't a documentary about the history of the Knights Templar

An almost completely incoherent rambling of unrelated historic facts, random snippets of fairy tales, conspiracy theories, wild interpretations with no substantiation & "I heard it from a guy I knew." 🤦‍♂️

Drops Templar's in the first ten min then turns into Joe Rogan on DMT.

Respect

This is very nice ❤🎉🎉,🌹🌹no sugarcoating 😂😂

It seems like this is all being interpreted with a postmodern lens. Ancients were sophisticated enough to know that a snake can represent aspects of a monotheistic god without literally worshipping snakes or any other animals.

The content is excellent, but the shaky-cam footage is very offputting

your muzique sound track is brilliant!

What a load of bunk.

Childeric I is my 40th great-grandfather. Saint Dagobert II 645-679 was an uncle. He wasn't popular.

I am sure the serpent has to do with Genesis and the holy grail to do with the tree that God kicked everyone out of the garden before they could become immortal.

Ohhh, this guy. Phillip gardiner I think? I like him. Gives whole new meaning to the idea of playing fast and loose with history. He’s really into ophite/serpent worship which id like to know more about; but the closest he comes to providing that knowledge is an interview in which he just says “it’s in Africa and Europe and blah blah blah” without so much as a captioned picture. Still, I watch all his stuff. Mostly hoping to find this one documentary about catholic cathedrals that talks about how many are built on or feature water and the esoteric meaning behind alternating 3and4 arch archways and stuff….

Underneath the temple of the mount, there is a great sign there, but they’re not allowed to dig because of it. That is the secret to and the Muslims will not allow any archaeological digging underneath the site.

The U shape in Aboriginal art represents a person not a horse

Here we will debunk myth….with speculation and modern day analysis from stories and maybes

I was looking to learn more about the templars and after about 15 minutes of generic infomation it goes into madness and mythology that has no relevance. What's worse is that this exact same video is on about 5 different channels.

Ridiculous amount of adverts.

90 % of this documentary is about pagan religions before Christianity and hardly talks about the Knights Templar at all

Why wouldn't the Red Cross have my blood

The pagan origins of Christianity , many prophets one message 🌼 very informative 👍
