Knights Templar: Their Founding, Rise, and Fall (All the Facts)
I've prepared an informative video about the Knights Templar in the Middle Ages: why they were founded, how they disappeared, their rise, and how they used the banking and finance network. 🛡️📜
March 18, 1314... A curse echoed through the skies of Paris, the fall of an empire, and the beginning of one of history's greatest mysteries.
This documentary examines the Knights Templar, who began as just nine impoverished knights but quickly transformed into a vast financial network controlling the treasuries of kings and "God's private army." Leaving aside the legends, we unveil the behind-the-scenes story in light of documents and historical facts from the Vatican's secret archives.
