DOWNFALL OF THE TEMPLARS: GUILTY OF DIABOLIC MAGIC?
Book ID/图书代码： 10567026C00156
English Summary/英文概要： The Knights Templar were brutally crushed in the year 1307 by order of the King of France and the Pope. We still struggle to understand why this order of holy warriors was annihilated after years of courageous service in the Crusades. However, the investigation detailed here reveals the links between the trials of the Templars and the witch hunt mania that was about to grip Europe for three hundred years. Their downfall foreshadowed a dark phase in our history.
The knights were accused of horrific crimes that included spitting on the crucifix of Jesus, worshipping a demonic head, and engaging in secret rituals that disgusted medieval Christians. Heresy and sodomy were the two main charges levelled at the Templars. Were they framed or was there a germ of truth in the allegations?
For centuries, people have wondered what happened to the fabled treasure of the Templars, including the Holy Grail. The clues are examined to find out exactly what this treasure was and where it may have ended up.
The most common question asked about the Knights Templar is: do they still exist today? This book introduces you to those who claim to be the inheritors of the Templar legacy. Is it possible that the knights survived and endured to the present day?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 聖殿騎士團於1307年被法國國王和教宗下令殘酷鎮壓。我們至今仍難以理解，為何這支聖戰騎士團在十字軍東徵中英勇作戰多年後，竟慘遭滅門。然而，本文詳述的調查揭示了聖殿騎士團審判與即將席捲歐洲長達三百年的獵巫狂潮之間的關聯。他們的覆滅預示著一段黑暗歷史的來臨。
騎士們被指控犯有駭人聽聞的罪行，包括向耶穌十字架吐唾沫、崇拜惡魔頭顱以及進行令中世紀基督徒深惡痛絕的秘密儀式。異端和雞姦是針對聖殿騎士團的兩大主要指控。他們是被陷害的，還是這些指控中真的存在一絲真相？
幾個世紀以來，人們一直在探索聖殿騎士團的傳說寶藏，包括聖杯的下落。本書將仔細研究線索，以找出這件寶藏究竟是什麼，以及它最終可能落入何處。
關於聖殿騎士團，人們最常問的問題是：他們如今是否依然存在？本書將帶您認識那些自稱是聖殿騎士團繼承人的人。這些騎士團是否有可能倖存至今？(Zoe)
