Began excavating beneath the Temple Mount in the year 1119. They sweated and toiled for nine long years until, in 1128, they returned to Europe in triumph and with the gratitude of their benefactor, Bernard of Clairvaux. Within two years, 200 wealthy lords had volunteered to join the order, now called the Poor Knights of St. John and the Temple of Solomon, or simply, the Knights Templar. Within twenty years, they were the wealthiest private group in Europe, able to provide loans to kings.

Though it was never disclosed what treasures they returned with, Bernard did write that their mission “was a great success.” In fact, on their triumphant return, Bernard ordered that a strong military escort be posted on their returning discoveries, so that the Knights would not be interfered with “by any power secular or ecclesiastical.” It’s unlikely Bernard would have given such an order if the Knights had returned merely with chests of gold and jewels.

Two Hundred Years
Of Unrivaled Power...

Found the Templars at the top of vast holdings and an unmatched fortune, eyed greedily by the King of France, Philip “The Fair.” After the assassination of two uncooperative Popes, the third Pope, Clement V, agreed to the arrest of the Templars on false charges. But the Knights still had powerful friends who warned them in time for them to take action.

When Philip’s men entered the Paris Temple, they found the Knights bravely awaiting their fate, though the vast treasure that was known to have been there only a month before had completely vanished. A fleet of seventeen ships had sailed from the Templar port of La Rochelle just that week, headed for parts unknown.

From Scotland and Portugal
To the New World...

People have searched for the lost Templar treasure for nearly seven hundred years. Some treasure hunters were certain they would find a vast horde of gold and jewels, hidden away by Jewish leaders from the Roman invaders of the 1st Century AD.

Others believed they’d find fabled artifacts like the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or even the legendary Tablets of Thoth. But every search ended in failure. No gold was ever found, and no trace of the Templar fleet from La Rochelle was ever seen again. But there are clues, for those with eyes to see.

Today, A Three-Person Film Crew
Travels Around The World...

In search of the most amazing locations and the most unexplainable mysteries for their popular travel show, Eternal Horizons. With a crew of only three, each one needs to wear many hats: Constance Middlebury, the down-to-earth archeologist, and Neville Sinclair, the smart-aleck Oxford-trained media hound, handle most of the writing, filming and recording for the show. But their host, Arthur Albright, has a unique talent that sets their show apart: psychometry, the ability to read images of the past by simply touching an object.

The Eternal Horizons team has visited many of the world’s most unusual sites: Machu Pichu, Stonehenge, Angkor Wat. But now, Arthur will be asked to use his skill on artifacts no psychic has ever tested before. Some will show him visions of the distant past, while others display only the terrors of the worst future imaginable.

And if the artifacts aren’t enough to rattle the team, they’ll also have to deal with a ruthless media baron, famed Aussie billionaire Aldus Murphy, who was bought up the production company that owns the Eternal Horizons show. With the threat of having their show shelved for ten years or more, the team has no choice but to agree to do Murphy’s bidding: find out what the Templar treasure really was, and where in the world it disappeared to.

Come along on an epic journey of adventure, where three average people may just hold the future of the world in the palm of their hands. Read an excerpt here, or read about the history behind the Knights Templar and their treasure.
