"It is true indeed, that their Knowledge at first was not purchased by their own Disquisitions, for they received it from the Arabians, amongst whom it remained as the Monument and Legacy of the Children of the East. Nor is this at all improbable, for the Eastern Countries have always been famous for Magical and Secret Societies. Now am I to seek how far you will believe me in this, because I am a Christian; and yet I doubt not but that you will believe a Heathen, because Aristotle was one."
The Templar Knights were a very dedicated orginazation to the Christian faith and pilgrims on their pilgrimage to the holy land..Do you know how many Templars were left after they were persecuted and put to death by the French monarchy and Holy Roman Catholic Church?...
Cross legged Knights indicate that the person so represented died in the Christian faith. As crusaders were supposed so to do, they were generally represented on their tombs with crossed legs. Sometimes the figure on the tomb of a knight has his legs crossed at the ankles, this meant that the knight went one crusade. If the legs are crossed at the knees, he went twice; if at the thighs he went three times., if he lacks it crossed legs it just means he never got go on a crusade or was a squire.
Great stuff, a pity that you couldn't do your work but even ghost-hunters need a day off LOL; maybe another visit in the near future? Take care mate, cheers.
Very Interesting! I wouldn't know half these places existed without your video's. This is now on my list of 'Places To Visit'. Great video. Thanks Chris : )
Thank you for posting! Another goody! Enjoyed the little head carvings in there too. I kept expecting so see your wee noggin superimposed over one of them for fun, but you were being a good boy during editing. :) Thanks Chris! Loved it!
excellent, i was born in london but unfortuantely moved away at age 4 but my family still live in se24 herne hill.planning to take my 8 year old son to london,normal sites,buckingham palace,tower london,westminster abbey,they did used to have an old warship docked there also that was so interesting,not sure if still there or not,but due to this video i have decided also take him here.have seen before but fogot about place,thanks 4 sharing.my list of visit places got bigger!!!!!
I always thought the Knights who have uncrossed legs looks as if they are ready to spring up, even in death, into battle, into action. Since the Templars are known to have many secret codes, perhaps the uncrossed legs are a code, a piece of a puzzle, alluded to in a long-lost document, or a secret letter somewhere that we will never hear of... so much mystery! Thanks for uploading this footage... it's such a gorgeous building.
@ParaGlitter You are more than certainly correct there. I should imagine to a fellow Templar that their body positions were like reading a book. Every subtle difference told a different story:) Thanks for commenting.

Is it the Catholic Church that murdered the Templar Knights?

@WeeeWriter It was a joint collaboration Monique between the French King and the Catholic Pope.
The King owed them much money, and the Pope feared their wealth and power! Just like modern day politics:)
