In 1119 A.D., The Knights Templar, a Christian military order, protected worshippers to the Holy Land. Known for their white mantles with red crosses, they amassed wealth and influence. But a king and a pope charged them with heresy in a plot to gain control. Authorities arrested, tortured, and executed the Templars, ending their mystique. They are remembered as guardians of sacred, mysterious knowledge.
