Nazi Gold: Hidden & Lost Treasures

Knights Templar, the Poor Fellow - Soldiers of Chr*st and of the Temple of Solomon, was maybe the most famous of the Christian military orders. It was created in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096. Armed with daggers, swords and shields, members of the Order played a key part in many battles of the Crusades. This was possible because they were both monks and soldiers, making them one of the earliest warrior monks in the Western world. The Order's infrastructure innovated many techniques that are the foundation of modern banking. Being almost millennium ahead of their time the Order gained wealth and power throughout Europe during two centuries in the Middle Ages. In 1307 King Philip IV of France had French Knights Templars arrested and burned at the stake. The speed of their disappearance has led to several Knights Templar legends.

The Holy Grail Hidden in Iceland, suggests Thórarinn Thórarinsson
A group believe the Holy Grail and other lost artifacts, guarded by the Knights Templar, may be located in the district Hrunamannahreppur in Iceland. "There are strong indications that the solution to this mystery may be found in Iceland," architect Thórarinn Thórarinsson wrote in a letter to the local authority of Hrunamannahreppur, asking for permit for himself and cryptographer Giancarlo Gianazza to seek for the treasure in the area. The theory is that the Knights Templar came to Iceland in 1217 to find a hiding place for their treasure and that Snorri Sturluson, the author of Prose Edda and other mediaeval scripts, helped them create the underground dome in Iceland. | by icelandreview :: 2008-01-04 |

Heinrich Himmler's secret quest to locate the Aryan Holy Grail
Heinrich Himmler made a secret wartime mission to Montserrat Abbey in Spain in search of the Aryan Holy Grail. Himmler thought he would find the Grail which Christ was said to have used to consecrate the Last Supper. According to The Desecrated Abbey, by Montserrat Rico Góngora, the Reichsführer-SS thought if he could lay claim to the Holy Grail it would help Third Reich win WWII. A former monk Andreu Ripol Noble was ordered to greet Himmler during the visit in 1940. Himmler came to Montserrat inspired by Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal, which mentions the Holy Grail could be in kept in "the marvellous castle of Montsalvat in the Pyrenees". | by thothweb :: 2007-02-06 |

The Grail trail - it could be buried in Yorkshire
From the Grail's first appearance in an unfinished poem written by Chretien de Troyes in 1180, some authors have emphasised the Christian element and others the mystical, with a smattering of Welsh, Celtic and Irish lore blended in. The grail could be at Rosslyn Chapel, in Glastonbury, or even in the Cathedral of Valencia (home to the Holy Chalice, a 17cm-high cup made of red agate and dating between 4th century BC and 1st century AD). According to Graham Taylor Rosslyn is a red herring, Glastonbury a goose chase and Spain a smokescreen. The reason the grail could be in Yorkshire is to do with the area's Templar connections. | by thisisthenortheast :: 2006-12-29 |

Author believes he knows the resting place of the Holy Grail
Callum Jensen believes he could have unveiled the final resting place of the Holy Grail - buried within the grounds of Lincoln Cathedral. He has requested permission to carry out a search of the grounds using a radar scan. Mr Jensen said he has always had an interest in the legends of the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. He found anomalies in the cathedral. This prompted him to look at the Rennes-le-Chateau parchment, a coded document, which some believe provides the clues to the resting place of a secret treasure. He decoded the clues, which has led him to a spot near the south east corner of the cathedral. | by bbc :: 2006-07-29 |

Holy Grail "lies at stately home"
A Canadian cryptologist believes part of the Holy Grail lies in or close to a Staffordshire estate. Louis Buff Parry has spent two years studying letters etched on a monument in Shugborough which are widely believed to be some sort of code. He said it is a message the Grail is buried nearby. He believes a Holy Grail stone was captured in France and brought back to Shugborough in 1746 by Admiral George Anson. He believes the D and the M stand for 1500 in Roman Numerals and refer to the 1,500th verse of Genesis. The lack of a full stop after the final V means the part of the code should be read from right to left, spelling VVA... | by bbc :: 2006-03-17 |

Code points away from Holy Grail
An inscription etched on a marble tablet at a stately home could be a hidden message from an 18th Century Christian sect, code-breakers say. Specialists from Bletchley Park were asked to decipher the inscription on the Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough. The code has baffled great minds for years and had been rumoured to point to the location of the Holy Grail. Experts now think the code is a message from a sect called the Priory of Sion. It was commissioned in 1748 by the then earl, Thomas Anson, and features a carved image of a Nicholas Poussin painting with the letters D OUOSVAVV M inscribed below. | by bbc :: 2004-11-26 |
