But back to the Templars - I have no issue with them being "infected" with heretical ideas counter to the Church - frankly, I'm pretty much convinced that they were. What I'd like to figure out is what knowledge they had about this part of the world and where that knowledge came from. We all are very much European focused in our thoughts and searches for clues - that makes sense considering how many of us were taught history. But what if, what if, any knowledge they gained of land across the sea, came from Arabic sources first and then made their way into others' hands. Just a thought, but maybe many of us are looking in the wrong places.
