00:12I don't know.
00:30I don't know.
01:07The history that we were all taught growing up is wrong.
01:11My name is Scott Wolter, and I'm a forensic geologist.
01:15There's a hidden history in this country that nobody knows about.
01:19There are pyramids here, chambers, tombs, prescriptions.
01:23They're all over this country.
01:25We're going to investigate these artifacts and sites, and we're going to get to the truth.
01:30Sometimes history isn't what we've been told.
01:44Friday, October 13th, 1307 was a bad day for the Knights Templar.
01:52Up until then, the Order of Knights made up one of the most powerful groups in Europe.
01:59Beginning in 1129, they fought on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church during the Crusades,
02:05protecting pilgrims in the Holy Land for over a century.
02:14But on that fateful Friday in 1307, the Knights were arrested, tortured, and ultimately executed.
02:26But why?
02:28Was it punishment for an act of betrayal?
02:31Or did they have valuable information that needed to be kept secret?
02:37Not all the Knights were killed that day.
02:39Some escaped, and I believe, made it to America,
02:43where they brought with them one of the most explosive secrets in human history.
03:02Not all the Knights were killed that day.
03:42I think a clue that could unravel this mystery might be here in rural Pennsylvania
03:47in a location that I've promised to keep secret.
03:52A tipster contacted me and said he recently discovered a stone
03:56with an engraving of a Templar symbol called the Hooked X.
04:00The stone also has a date on it, 1206.
04:05If it's a genuine carving by the Templars from that time period,
04:09it would be a huge piece of new evidence in this mystery
04:12that's consumed me for the last 10 years.
04:41This is the
04:46Hi, are you Scott?
04:48Yes, I am.
04:51Glad to meet you.
04:52My name's Bill.
04:53Nice to finally meet you, Bill.
04:54Nice to meet you.
04:55You must be Butch.
04:56Real good to meet you.
04:57Nice to meet you, too.
04:59Well, I have to say, guys, you've discovered something that potentially could be one of
05:03the most important things I've ever seen.
05:06This is really an amazing find.
05:09How did you guys find this?
05:11I was walking down a trail across the creek there with my dad back in the first week
05:16of May.
05:17Of this year?
05:18Of this year, yes.
05:19I know that there were some places over here that I hadn't yet discovered or, you know,
05:24explored.
05:25And you found this?
05:26Yes, I did.
05:27Do you realize how incredible that is?
05:29Wow.
05:29No, I didn't at the time.
05:34I know that this is the kind of carvings and things that you were, you know, looking
05:40at.
05:41And I know they're all over this country.
05:43The Hooked X.
05:44You know, especially the Hooked X, because I know that there have been more contact here
05:50by European people than anybody would ever believe.
05:53Wait a minute.
05:54So, you're saying that you believe in pre-Columbian contact prior to Columbus?
05:58Yes.
05:59A hundred percent.
05:59Good for you.
06:04There are a lot of things that I see here.
06:07Symbolically, the fact that the inscription is carved within the body of a serpent is
06:14consistent with thousands of Viking age runic inscriptions in Scandinavia.
06:20But Knight's temper also used ropes.
06:23Looking at the stone here, I see a lot of runic symbols.
06:27Moving clockwise from the head of the serpent on the lower left, the runes I see most closely
06:32resemble the symbols for T, S, N, M, F, R, A, and D.
06:42As for the translation of a message, I can't make sense of it.
06:47Continuing on around to the right, there are what looked like Roman numerals.
06:51M, C, C, V, and I.
06:56Which translated to a date would be 1206.
06:59But that hooked X is really the key piece of evidence that tells me who carved that.
07:05And it had to have been somebody over here who was originally part of the medieval Knights Templar.
07:12If this is legitimate, it tells you that they were here in Pennsylvania.
07:18Proving the Templars came to America has become my life's work.
07:22And the hooked X is the symbol at the center of it all.
07:26I've only found it in Templar sites in Europe.
07:29On documents tying the Templars to the Freemasons, who I believe are their modern-day counterparts.
07:36And on runestones in America that I'm convinced they placed as land claims like the Kensington runestone found in Minnesota,
07:44stones in Maine, and Rhode Island.
07:46And if it's legit, this new stone in Pennsylvania.
07:53The reason I care so much about this single symbol is because I believe the Templars used it to hide
07:59a shocking secret in plain sight.
08:02That a bloodline of Jesus exists.
08:04And not only that, but that a select group of Knights brought both the secret of the bloodline and the
08:09bloodline itself to America.
08:12I think this hooked X symbol represents the marriage and union of Mary Magdalene and Jesus.
08:20The peak represents Jesus.
08:23The V represents Mary Magdalene.
08:26And the hook represents the continuation, the perpetuation of their bloodline.
08:32So that sounds like the Da Vinci Code stuff, doesn't it?
08:35The Da Vinci Code took the world by storm.
08:38I mean, in any of these myths and legends, there's always a kernel of truth.
08:43And in that particular story, I think there's a lot of truth.
08:47I think that's the main reason why they were put down in 1307 by the Roman Catholic Church and the
08:53King of France.
08:54Because the existence of a bloodline would undermine the very foundation of the Roman Church.
09:03And I'm going to clean off some of these ruins here because there's some mud packed into them, dirt and
09:10silt.
09:11Let's get involved.
09:33Let's get involved.
09:39I'm going to take a closer look here.
09:45What are you finding in there?
09:47I see you cleaned that up pretty good.
09:49It still looked pretty much the same.
09:52Well, it doesn't look the same to me.
09:58I'm going to try one more.
10:06It almost is like there's glue in here.
10:12This mud is packed in here pretty tight.
10:16In fact, it looks almost like somebody mixed a water-soluble glue with mud and packed it in here because
10:26this is not natural.
10:29And it looks to me like all these grooves have been filled in with this mud, this organic mud, probably
10:38from right here.
10:40And I don't know why that would be on those surfaces and only on the carved lines.
10:46So what you're saying is it's not real then?
10:49Yep.
10:50Wow.
10:50It's a hoax.
10:52That'll be darned.
10:54So I got a question.
10:59Do you guys know anything about this?
11:26Do you guys know anything about this?
11:40This doesn't look good to me.
11:43This is a hoax.
11:44Oh.
11:46So somebody's playing a joke on me.
11:49I would have never thought it.
11:52Do you guys know anything about this?
11:55No.
11:56No.
12:01Well, it's just a little bit too good to be true.
12:03There's some other problems with this.
12:07This S rune right here, that's a messed up S.
12:10That's not a runic S. I've never seen one like that.
12:13That M is not very good.
12:14It's asymmetric.
12:16This F here, not so much.
12:18This R is a big problem for me.
12:22Some of the runes I thought were problematic before now just look fake, made by someone who really didn't know
12:29how to read or write runes.
12:32The top and bottom of the S rune should be the same length, and they're not.
12:36The M is also disproportionate.
12:40It's stem should be longer.
12:42And the R doesn't look anything like a regular R rule.
12:48I mean, I had no idea.
12:50I just looked at it.
12:51I went by what Butch said.
12:52I thought, you know, I thought it was a...
12:54I thought it had some age to it from just looking at it.
12:57Yeah.
12:57You know, I mean...
12:58Looks like it to me.
12:59There is no weathering patina here.
13:02If you look, you can see somebody has filled in these carved lines with dirt.
13:07They didn't just put dirt in there.
13:09I think they mixed in a little glue, too, to make it stick.
13:12This thing is probably not even more than a couple years old.
13:17It can't be any more than three and a half years old.
13:19I guess four years now was when my Hooked X book first came out.
13:22This isn't easy to carve something like this.
13:26But this was absolutely carved to intentionally deceive.
13:33The fact that someone would go to such lengths to create a hoax is disappointing, but not surprising.
13:39I know some people are scared of what I think is the truth.
13:45People will do extraordinary things for their faith.
13:49And in this particular case, this is probably somebody who doesn't like the idea that I think Jesus was human,
13:56that he was married, and that he had children, and that his descendants are alive today.
14:01You saw what happened after the Da Vinci Code.
14:03A lot of people got upset.
14:05But we're not talking about the Da Vinci Code.
14:07We're talking about real life here.
14:18Whoever did this figured sooner or later I was going to get contacted and that I would come out here
14:23just like I did.
14:24And they're probably trying to fool me to try to make me look stupid and therefore cast doubt on the
14:32work that I've done.
14:33But I have to say that I'm glad I came out here.
14:37And in many ways what this has done is confirmed that the methodology that we use for examining these artifacts
14:44does work.
14:45The fakes usually reveal themselves quickly.
14:48It's the real stuff that hangs around.
14:51It just doesn't seem to want to go away.
15:01So guys, is there anybody else that could possibly have been out here?
15:07Anyone else that you might know?
15:10I don't know of anyone.
15:12Nobody I know of.
15:14There are some people that may say, hey, you know what, you perpetrated a hoax.
15:19I know I didn't do it.
15:20Yeah.
15:21Or had nothing to do with it.
15:22You said something interesting earlier today that stuck with me, that you were looking around for inscriptions.
15:29Yeah.
15:30Yeah.
15:30I mean, is that what you were doing?
15:31And why were you looking for inscriptions?
15:33You know, it's just one thing I look for.
15:35Did you ever stop to think that somebody would accuse you of doing this?
15:39No.
15:41They still might.
15:42Mm.
15:43Could happen.
15:44No, it could happen.
15:45I understand that.
15:48Is there a part of you guys that still believes that this might be real?
15:53Or do you accept what I've shown you?
15:55I accept it.
15:56I accept 100% what you showed me.
15:58You know, the fact that this is a hoax, it motivates me even more to want to get to the
16:02truth behind the mystery of the Templars coming over here to North America.
16:06I think the influence, the founding, and the United States of America that we know today.
16:12The one thing I've learned is that sooner or later, the truth bubbles to the surface.
16:17And in this case, the truth about our founding fathers, about the Templars, and about Jesus and Mary is about
16:25to bubble over.
16:28The Smith of America
16:30The Smith of America
16:58Hello, this is Steve.
16:59Hey, Steve, how you doing, man?
17:01I'm good, Scott. What's up with you?
17:03Well, I'm actually up in your neck of the woods,
17:05and I just looked at a new rune stone that has a hooked axe.
17:09It looked great.
17:11Oh, wow.
17:13Unfortunately, it's a hoax.
17:15Oh, it's too bad.
17:17Anyway, you know what?
17:19I'm also looking into another symbol that I think connects to this,
17:23and might help shed some more light on the Templars coming to America
17:27and possibly bringing the bloodline.
17:30What's the new symbol?
17:31Well, you know what? I can't tell you just yet.
17:33I have some more work to do.
17:36Does any of that work involve research in France?
17:39That's where I am right now.
17:40You're in France?
17:42Yeah.
17:43What are you doing there?
17:44I'm researching St. Clair's family ties to the Templars.
17:48Wait a minute.
17:48I didn't think you believed in any of that stuff.
17:50I mean, the whole notion of Henry Sinclair and the Templars,
17:54I thought you were down on that.
17:56Are you changing your mind?
17:57Maybe. We'll see.
17:59Well, I'm more determined than ever to find evidence the Templars were here
18:03and get people to accept the real reason I think they came over.
18:07And you know what I think I'm going to do?
18:09I might join you in France.
18:35My friend Steve St. Clair, who I'm meeting in France,
18:38is a member of one of the few families here in the U.S.
18:41with a credible Templar connection.
18:45Families with Templar ties are important
18:48because I think the bloodline of Jesus
18:50was actually perpetuated and physically carried on
18:53through the centuries by powerful Templar families.
19:01The question is, could Steve's family be one of them?
19:10We're meeting in the city of Twa, where the Templars got their start.
19:15This is where Pope Honorius II officially recognized
19:18the Knights Templar order in 1129.
19:24Steve.
19:25Hey, Scott. How you been, man?
19:27Good to see you.
19:27Good to see you.
19:29Well, what do you think of this?
19:30Beautiful, isn't it?
19:31It's amazing.
19:32This is where it all began.
19:33I'm so glad to be here.
19:35I mean, this is the official birthplace of the Knights Templar order.
19:39Yeah.
19:39The Council of Twa was a religious council held here in 1129.
19:44An influential monk by the name of Bernard de Clairvaux
19:47pleaded with the Roman Catholic Church
19:49for the official recognition of the Knights Templar order.
19:54Bernard de Clairvaux was considered the father of the Knights Templar.
19:58At the Council of Twa,
20:00he convinced the church it needed knights
20:02to protect religious pilgrims in the Holy Land of Jerusalem
20:06and to secretly protect its valuable possessions,
20:10treasures, and documents
20:11hidden in their sacred temple,
20:14the Temple of Solomon.
20:15They needed the Knights Templar
20:17because the Holy Land was getting out of control.
20:19It's a little dangerous now.
20:20It's nothing like it was back then.
20:22Murders, thieves, beheadings, you name it.
20:25They really needed sort of a medieval police force down there
20:28to protect the Holy Land, keep it safe,
20:30and to protect pilgrims who were trying to get there from here.
20:32The Knights Templar already existed
20:34because they were the ones that fought the First Crusade
20:36back around 1100,
20:37but here is where they got their official recognition by the church.
20:41What happened here, not inside this cathedral,
20:44but in a smaller church that burned down later.
20:46So we know that Bernard de Clairvaux lobbied the Roman Catholic Church
20:49to officially found the Knights Templar order,
20:52but it was Hugh de Payen
20:53who wrote the Latin rule for the Templars, right?
20:56That's right.
20:57Hugh de Payen was the first grandmaster
21:00or leader of the Knights Templar order.
21:02Next to Bernard de Clairvaux,
21:05who lobbied the church for the Knights' recognition,
21:07he was the most important figure in the Order's early history.
21:11Today, he's most remembered for creating a list of rules
21:15Templar Knights had to abide by,
21:17called the Latin rule.
21:21Hugh went to the Holy Land in 1104.
21:24When he came back, he came to raise more knights.
21:27He met with King Henry I of England,
21:29who gave him permission to raise knights in France, England, and Scotland
21:33and get them back to the Holy Land.
21:35So he had to get money to get these guys all put together.
21:38Right.
21:39The very next year, he came here to the Council of Troyes,
21:41and then they recognized the Templars.
21:44The Templars.
21:44I'm finding information that our family, the Sinclair family,
21:48donated money and land to some important abbeys
21:51directly associated with the Knights Templar.
21:54If that's true, then members of Steve's family
21:57could easily have been Templars themselves.
21:59This would not be a surprise to me.
22:03Centuries ago, the Sinclair family helped build Roslyn Chapel,
22:08a Scottish church featured in the Da Vinci Code
22:10that has a hooked X inside.
22:14Steve's Templar connections don't stop there.
22:18Last year, he helped me look for the Holy Grail,
22:21something his distant relative, Prince Henry Sinclair,
22:24was said to have brought to North America
22:26in the 15th century for safekeeping.
22:32A team of treasure hunters thought they attract the Grail
22:35to a well on private property in Nova Scotia.
22:38And even though all signs pointed to something being down there,
22:42drilling and diving turned up nothing
22:44that brought us closer to the treasure.
22:48Most people believe the Grail is the chalice
22:51or cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper.
22:58But what if the Grail isn't what most people think it is?
23:04What if it's not a chalice,
23:06but the bloodline of Jesus himself?
23:25My research suggests that the true mission of the Knights Templar
23:29was not just to protect Jerusalem,
23:32but they were also guarding a very important secret,
23:35the physical bloodline of Jesus and Mary.
23:38In fact, I think while they were in Jerusalem,
23:41they found scrolls that actually speak directly
23:43to Jesus and Mary Magdalene being married
23:47and having a child,
23:48and that that union represented the Holy Grail.
23:51And for him to be married with a child,
23:55that would have been curtains for the church.
24:20I'm in France tracking the history of the Knights Templar
24:23before they came to America.
24:26A mission I believe they undertook
24:29to protect a secret that could ruin the Catholic Church.
24:33I think the Templars were privy to information
24:35that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child.
24:39It's a secret they acknowledged
24:41through the use of symbols like the hooked X,
24:44found at Templar sites in Europe
24:46and on rune stones in America.
24:48Legitimate rune stones,
24:50not fake ones like the one I examined in Pennsylvania.
24:54I think the church thought that Templars
24:56were about to reveal this secret.
24:59And the threat of the bloodline being exposed
25:02is what ultimately led to their arrest
25:04on Friday the 13th.
25:07Their murder.
25:11And for the lucky ones,
25:13their escape to America.
25:18The hooked X isn't the only clue
25:20that supports this theory.
25:22Recently, I've been researching a second symbol,
25:25one that could shed more light on this mystery.
25:28A symbol that illustrates just how much
25:31the Templars revered Mary Magdalene,
25:33whom I believe they worship
25:35in much the same way as Jesus.
25:38But I need to find this symbol
25:40here in France first,
25:42before I can share it with Steve.
25:44Well, you know, Scott,
25:45when people bring up the subject of bloodline,
25:47the question is always the same.
25:50Where's the evidence?
25:51And I think I've got some.
25:53I've been researching a church
25:54that is in Paris called St. Martin de Champ.
25:58Just check this place out.
26:01It happens to sit atop something very interesting.
26:04A Merovingian necropolis,
26:06a burial chamber,
26:07right under that church.
26:09Merovingians.
26:10Ah-ha.
26:11Well, these were the ruling
26:13dynastic families of France.
26:16Like some families of the Knights Templar,
26:19the Merovingians are thought
26:20to carry the bloodline of Jesus.
26:23If both groups are connected to this church,
26:26they're surely connected to each other.
26:30So this could potentially be a great spot
26:33to find the evidence I need
26:34to help prove my theory.
26:37Well, listen, Scott,
26:38I'm about to head off to a place
26:40that might interest you.
26:41It was established by the Templars
26:43right after they became an order
26:45approved by the church here at Troyes,
26:46and it lasted until the destruction of the order.
26:49It's called the Commandery de Arville.
26:50You want to go check it out?
26:51I would love to.
26:52And I'm going to ask a friend to join us.
26:55I think he might be able to add
26:56a little something to this discussion.
26:58Let's go.
27:18After talking with Steve
27:20about his family ties to the Templars,
27:23I'm more convinced than ever
27:25that his story is intimately tied
27:27to my own quest
27:28to uncover the true mission of the order.
27:32It's all about the bloodline.
27:35Maybe there will be more to learn in Bendo.
27:38This is where the Templars
27:40conducted training exercises
27:41before they were banned
27:43by the Catholic Church on Friday the 13th,
27:46a day some still believe could be cursed.
27:49This is a subject my good friend,
27:52Alan Butler, knows plenty about.
27:54One thing I know about this place, Alan,
27:56is that it was founded,
27:57the Commandery de Arville
27:58was founded at about the time of the Council of Troyes.
28:00Is that right?
28:01Yeah, yeah.
28:01It's a very, very early example.
28:04The name itself is interesting.
28:07Commandery.
28:08What would you describe a commandery, Scott?
28:10Basically, I would describe it as a medieval police academy
28:14for the knights where they were housed and trained.
28:16Yeah, and it was,
28:18but it was very much more as well.
28:20This was a huge farm in its day,
28:222,500 acres,
28:24growing all the stuff necessary
28:25to feed all the Templars and the horses.
28:28And in fact, it continued
28:30right on until the end of the Templars
28:33on Friday the 13th of October, 1307.
28:37Most people don't realize
28:39the influence the Templars
28:40and the Cistercian monks affiliated with them
28:43had on the medieval economy.
28:46Their embrace of agriculture
28:48and specifically sheep farming
28:49at places like this commandery
28:51provided the backbone
28:52of the entire wool industry
28:54in medieval times.
28:56Some places like Revo Abbey in England
28:59had upwards of 14,000 sheep
29:01whose skins were widely sought for parchment.
29:05Here, wool would have been used
29:07to make clothes to outfit the knights,
29:09sheep's milk used for butter and cheese
29:12to feed the knights,
29:13and sheep's skins used for blankets
29:15to keep them warm.
29:17Overall, the support for and training
29:19of the knights was a massive operation
29:21undertaken by people
29:23who never raised a weapon.
29:25All the Templars were not knights
29:27that carried swords
29:28and fought the Crusades
29:29like everybody thinks.
29:30There was an average
29:31of about 20 people
29:33that were needed
29:33to support each Templar
29:35that we think about
29:36that fought at the Crusades.
29:38So, at the height of their order,
29:40we're talking around 20,000 people
29:42who were Templars.
29:43Sir Alan, you mentioned
29:44Friday the 13th, 1307.
29:46Is there any truth
29:47to that being the origins
29:48of Friday the 13th
29:49being an unlucky day?
29:50In popular imagination,
29:52that may be so,
29:53but it already was unlucky.
29:56Number 13 was a very important
29:58pre-Christian, pagan number.
30:00The number 13 has a long history
30:03of being bad luck.
30:05In Norse mythology,
30:07Thunder God Thor's arch-enemy Loki
30:09was the uninvited 13th guest
30:12at a party for 12.
30:14There he caused the death of Balder,
30:16the god of joy,
30:18who was shot with a poisonous arrow.
30:20At the Last Supper,
30:22there were 13 people,
30:23Jesus and his 12 apostles.
30:26Judas was the 13th guest,
30:28the person who arrived last,
30:30and would go on to betray Jesus.
30:33But perhaps the most deplorable
30:34pagan belief in the eyes of the church
30:36was that 13 represented the goddess,
30:39or female divinity,
30:41an idea the Templars would go on
30:43to embrace with their worship
30:44of Mary Magdalene,
30:45whose name starts
30:47with the 13th letter of the alphabet.
30:49So, consequently,
30:50the Christian church didn't like it,
30:52and Friday was the day
30:53Christ was crucified.
30:54So, take the two things together,
30:56you've got a supremely unlucky day.
30:58Especially for the Templars.
31:00Oh, absolutely.
31:01You have to remember, guys,
31:02prior to the put-down,
31:04at this commandery,
31:05there were a lot of Templar knights here.
31:07And interestingly enough,
31:08there was somebody else
31:09important here as well.
31:11Who's that?
31:12Leonardo da Vinci.
31:14And the da Vinci code aside,
31:16I can tell you exactly
31:18how he and the Templars
31:20really connect.
31:51The planery that's
31:51that Leonardo da Vinci came here to this commandery?
31:55I mean, I've got to believe that that's important.
31:58So will that to believe.
32:00Wow.
32:01Okay, so Leonardo da Vinci, he was a sculptor,
32:04he was a painter, a mathematician.
32:05And during his time, all the important people
32:08wanted his influence or his works.
32:10And, of course, the da Vinci Code novel made famous,
32:14Da Vinci's The Last Supper.
32:16And many people believe that the idea of the holy bloodline
32:19being encoded within that artwork isn't fiction at all,
32:23that it may actually be true.
32:25The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
32:27is one of the best-selling books of modern times.
32:31Legions of readers found themselves fascinated
32:34by Brown's inclusion of the notion that da Vinci's real painting,
32:38The Last Supper, shows Mary Magdalene at Jesus' side,
32:42not John the Baptist as traditionally thought.
32:45As the story goes, Jesus and the alleged Mary
32:49together form an M, which signifies the real holy grail,
32:53the holy bloodline, not a cup or chalice,
32:57which is notably absent from the painting.
33:00Whether the theory is more fact than fiction depends on whom you ask.
33:04Alan, you're the Templar historian.
33:06What do you think the connection is between da Vinci and the Templars,
33:09and why would he have been here?
33:11It's very difficult to prove a direct connection with Leonardo,
33:15but that's not too surprising.
33:18Leonardo lived at the end of the 15th and the start of the 16th century,
33:22after, of course, the Templars had been made completely illegal.
33:26They'd been driven underground,
33:27and even though they still existed,
33:30to be known to associate with them
33:32would mean certain death at the hands of the Inquisition.
33:35But we know from Leonardo's sculptures and paintings,
33:39and the symbolism that he put into his work,
33:42that there are strong Templar influences involved.
33:46His accent on the sacred feminine,
33:49and he has that in common with the Templars,
33:51who we know revered the Virgin Mary,
33:54and also Mary Magdalene.
33:56Well, Alan, my research actually supports everything that you just said.
34:02I believe the Templars' worship of Mary Magdalene
34:05was an integral part of their spirituality,
34:07that she was their goddess.
34:10I think the Templars felt she was just as important as Jesus,
34:14something that spelled disaster for them
34:16since Catholicism is a very patriarchal religion.
34:19The importance they placed on the balance of male and female,
34:23the balance of opposites,
34:25is what I think sealed the Templars' fate on Friday the 13th, 1307.
34:31But groups like the Freemasons
34:32have managed to keep the Templars' ideals alive,
34:35and their secrets safe.
34:38They're two groups linked together both by their beliefs
34:40and by their use of the sacred hook deck symbol.
34:44And there's no doubt that symbolism was very important to the Templars,
34:48and it continued on with the people after the put-down.
34:51And you know what, guys?
34:52Dan Brown's book, The Da Vinci Code,
34:55may be more fact than fiction.
35:06Walking in the footsteps of the Knights Templar
35:09here at a place where they lived, trained, and worshipped
35:12is awe-inspiring for me.
35:16What started for me as a mystery of a single symbol,
35:20the hooked X, has turned into so much more,
35:23including a search for new clues
35:25that we're finding right here in their humble church.
35:34One of the most important symbols is the clothes, though, at Templars' War.
35:38And that was dictated by the Latin rule.
35:41That's right.
35:42And even though there were many other knights that weren't Templars
35:45that wore different color uniforms like black and brown,
35:49only the Templars could wear white.
35:51And what's interesting is the Red Cross
35:53that everybody identifies with the Templars,
35:56they didn't start wearing until 1143.
35:58And these are really interesting colors, of course,
36:01because the white represents chastity,
36:04and the Red Cross is the feminine quality within religion.
36:09So the clothing was a very important symbol.
36:11But I've got another one that's just going to blow you guys away.
36:15You're talking about the hooked X?
36:17I'm not talking about the hooked X.
36:19Come with me.
36:21The Red Cross
36:22The Red Cross
36:24The Red Cross
36:50research into the Templars and their connection to America
36:52has centered on a single symbol.
36:56The hooked X.
36:57Which I think represents their secret knowledge of Jesus' bloodline.
37:03A symbol I believe they passed on to Freemasons today.
37:08But it's not the only symbol they passed on that represents that idea.
37:20Another letter of the alphabet has piqued my interest.
37:27A symbol also representing the bloodline.
37:30And often hidden in plain sight for those with the eyes to see.
37:35The Red Cross
37:37The Red Cross
37:41The Red Cross
37:46The Red Cross
38:03This is a very important model that exists in the divine way.
38:22Hey, guys, come here.
38:24I want to show you something.
38:32Jesus, you see the rose?
38:36Sub rosa, under the rose, which means in secret.
38:43Jesus is hiding a secret.
38:48Look at his hands.
38:53Come here, I'll show you something.
39:00I was going to show you something on my iPad, but when we walked around, I saw it.
39:04I saw it all through the church, almost every single statue in some of the paintings.
39:10What did you see when you looked over here?
39:13Well, he's got a Templar cross behind his head and on his robe.
39:16And I noticed the bleeding hands because of the stigmata.
39:20Right.
39:22But take another look at his hands.
39:25He's making a very important hand gesture right here.
39:31This is the M sign, which symbolizes Mary Magdalene and the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and their child.
39:39This is a sign that was instituted and began to be used in painting, in art, starting after the put
39:47down in 1307 of the Knights Templar.
39:50The reason for that is because the whole bloodline story, the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, went underground, sub
39:57rosa.
39:57And one of the ways that they kept the secret alive was through symbolism.
40:02One of these was the M sign.
40:11And it's not a natural hand gesture.
40:13Try it once.
40:15You have to think about it, don't you?
40:17You do.
40:17Right.
40:18So whoever put this into the sculptures and the paintings did it for a reason.
40:24Now, some people are going to say, oh, that's just an artistic expression.
40:27Well, it is an artistic expression, but it had to come from somewhere, right?
40:31Absolutely.
40:33This is where I think it came from.
40:34This is the way they preserve the story about the bloodline of Jesus and Mary and their child.
40:40So this is a code, in essence?
40:42Essentially, yeah.
40:43It's a coded symbol.
40:45It's a secret that Jesus has in that statue.
40:50Now, let me show you something else.
40:53Take a look at this.
40:54These pictures are from a church in France called Saint Remy.
40:59What do you see there?
41:00The M sign.
41:02Five of them.
41:03You see the M sign five times here.
41:05M sign, M sign, M sign, M sign, M sign.
41:09And I want to show you one more thing.
41:12Take a look at this full life-size sculpture.
41:15What do you see there?
41:17Well, it's obviously just after Christ has been taken down from the cross.
41:21And I presume that these people round about are the holy family.
41:26She's in the middle and she has a halo.
41:29Yes.
41:30That's Mary Magdalene.
41:31It has to be Mary Magdalene, doesn't it?
41:33Who else could she be?
41:34I mean, logically.
41:35This sculpture was made and it ended up in a Templar commandery just like this.
41:42And it preserves the story, the same story that we're talking about here.
41:46Hang on a minute, though.
41:47This lady looks distinctly pregnant.
41:50She's very pregnant.
41:51In that case, one is forced to ask the question here in a Templar church.
41:57If this is a pregnant Mary Magdalene, I want to know, who is that?
42:02Well, I don't believe that's the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus.
42:06I think that's Mary Magdalene and Jesus' child.
42:13Next time on America on Earth, this sacred bloodline story has been kept alive through symbolism.
42:20If the Templars explored the world, they certainly went to America.
42:24Scott, I think you need to come over here right now.
42:29If you have a mysterious artifact or sight I need to see, I want to know about it.
42:34Go to history.com slash unearthed.
42:36The End
