Decoding the Past: The Templar Code (History Channel)

Description

For nearly two centuries, the Knights Templar was the most
powerful order in the medieval world. Today the group’s legacy is played out
in an array of Hollywood blockbusters and numerous works of popular
literature.Despite the Knights’ long reign of power, the order experienced a
sudden collapse in the early fourteenth century when certain members stood
accused of unspeakable crimes and were subsequently tortured and killed. This
insightful program interviews some of the world’s leading biblical scholars
and visits historic sites throughout Europe and the Near East to probe the
past of this mysterious order. Did the Knights, as many believe, guard the
Holy Grail? Or was the object of their attentions buried a thousand years
before the birth of Christ?THE TEMPLAR CODE is an in-depth examination into
the remarkable rise and rapid descent of the powerful and obscure Knights
Templar.
