The Knights Templar in the New World

In 1398, almost 100 years before Columbus arrived in the New World, the Scottish Prince Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, sailed to what is today Nova Scotia, where his presence was recorded by Micmac Indian legends about Glooskap. This was the same Prince Henry Sinclair who offered refuge to the Knights Templar fleeing the persecution unleashed against the order by the French King Philip the Fair at the beginning of the 14th century. With evidence from archaeological sites, indigenous legend and sacred geometry handed down by the templar order to the Freemasons, author William F. Mann has now rediscovered the site of the settlement established by Sinclair and his Templar followers in the New World. Here they sought to find a refuge for the Grail - the holy bloodline connecting the House of David to the Merovingian Dynasty through the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene - a goal that was achieved until the British exiled all the Arcadians in 1755.
