10 Illuminating Facts About The Knights Templar

Weird History | May 7, 2026



After Christian Europeans successfully seized Jerusalem from Islamic infidels during the Crusades of the Middle Ages, various entities originated in the Holy Land to exert influence over this contested region. One of these was the Order of the Knights Templar, initially a group of only nine knights who were intent on protecting pilgrims making their way along the dangerous roads that led to Jerusalem.

    i was cool when you called the knights a bank…technically a credit union…tomatoe…tomato….but as for the king of France…i am gonna stop you right there. the knights didn't cut off the king…the king owed money and to get out of paying his debt he used his influence over the pope to "insist" the knights were heretics who practiced Islamic faith and worshiped ancient deities with pagan rituals. knowing and practicing are two different things but they were familiar and friendly with people of Islamic faith and knew of Baphomet. the pope condemned the knights….yet would later write a pardon for the knights but would keep it secret…and with that…i can not in good faith watch the rest of this video since i am a very devoted researcher of the Knights. if i could have been, i would be…i'm not in anyway down playing your research and i am still a fan of weird history…however this subject is very important to me and newer information should always be considered…you choice to take the info or not…'im just passing on what i know. have a wonderful day.

    For a D.A.R.E related memory…I remember reading that the Illuminati uses drugs to disable the ability of the average person to fight them.

    I read that on what I consider to be an element of the underground of the internet, people who create credible conspiracy theories.
    An idea similar to that is in the book The Good Earth by Pearl Buck, where bad family members are hooked on opium so they can no longer disrupt family decisions regarding the future.

    Continuing a Weird History memory sequence!

    Remembering D.A.R.E. related activities*†…while watching this Weird History video!

    * D.A.R.E. was an organization that was well-known in my hometown.

    † D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education.

    There is a pathway which is the foundation for all the great faiths, which pervades each one of them, rises above them, and transcends them all and that is the pathway of Love. The pathway of love, compassion and service. Love and compassion are wonderful sentiments, well that's all they bloody well are, unless you use them as the motor for action, and the action is always in helping other people less fortunate than yourself.

    Martin Luther King summed it up sixty years ago when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize and he said ‘we have learnt to fly in the air like birds, we have yet to learn to walk on the earth like brothers’ and the objective of every single spiritual pathway in history is precisely that, to stress the brotherhood of man, the unity of the human family, and for me I don't care if people are black, brown, white, yellow, some glorious mixture in between. Male or female, young or old, straight or gay, we're all part of the same family and we have a sacred duty to care for each other. All the spiritual pathways teach this, those from the East, and those from the West.

    It was summed up by a modern Sufi teacher, a wonderful man called Sheikh Ragip Frager, who wrote a beautiful book about thirty years ago called ‘Love is the Wine’, which I can recommend to anybody and in it he wrote ‘Spirituality is a river that descended to earth through Adam, may God grant him peace, it was refreshed by the great prophets like Abraham and Moses and Elijah and John the Baptist and Jesus, may God grant them peace, by the great Prophet Muhammad may his name be blessed and may God grant him peace. It is a river that knows no boundaries in space or culture or time yet sadly, but understandably every race, every creed, every culture claims it for its own. My children it is always the same river’

    So it matters very little what spiritual path you follow, because you will follow one way you'll feel comfortable. Where the terminology is familiar and the concepts are familiar, but you will be asked to develop and show means to develop exactly the same qualities of life, humility and service and love and ultimately the objective is always the same, that is the true search for the Holy Grail

    I went through the York Rite Degrees of Freemasonry, culminating in membership (knighthood) in the Commandery Of Knights Templar to which I belonged. Sadly, the whole of most “speculative” degree conferring bodies are suffering greatly in a decline of membership.
    But the Degrees were interesting, allegorical places of teaching values.

    John 3:16-21

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Mark 1.15

    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

    2 Peter 3:9

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

    Hebrews 11:6

    6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
    Jesus

    A village not far from my home was once owned by the Knights Templar. Their land was given to the Knights Hospitallers following the suppression of the Templars. Later, it was taken by Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and sold.

    History of humanity is often complex. Im sure there was much charitableness done by the templars but also some shady dark shenanigans…

    0:09 i find it baffling that no one has adressed the anachronism of the armor in used in this drawing. It seems as if people living in the 1400s had no idea that mail was the most common type of knightly armor used at the battle of Cresson and not full plate as depicted.

    My blood line runs back to the templer and we were pure soldiers of the light to protect Gnostic teachings but I don't expect clowns to understand that
