First Templar Nation: How Eleven Knights Created a New Country and a Refuge for the Grail Paperback – Illustrated, 14 Dec. 2017

Very Interesting! just aspected!

I'm enjoying reading this book. I accidentally bought the two different editions of the same book.

Interesting views.Complex read.

There is so much of the Templar history, according to the historians, which did not ring true with me. This book throws all of it up in the air and comes to conclusions that actually make sense! The real reasoning behind the original formation of The Order explained, not the usual run of the mill... protecting the roads, treasure hunting, the original Illuminati. Freddy Silva has pieced together so much that other books take no notice of because they are simply reorganizing other peoples work. Rituals such as The Raising of the Dead Ceremony, so maligned by others, is explained here. If you want a truer view of these knights, read this, I can't recommend this book enough.

This book is a very different take on the history we’re told. Well researched and very interesting. I couldn’t put it down and am waiting for two more books from mr silva. Highly recommend reading his work and watching his presentations on YouTube. Fantadtywork

Fantastic read , full of information that would help anyone with any Interest in the subject explore more or less depending on where and what your looking for .Couldn't put it down , also leads onto more of freddys books .

Certainly the best historical story of the Templars and the blood line since the “Holy Blood and the Grail.”Recommended to all seeking the truth about the Grail quest.

I bought the book because I wanted to inquire further into the links of Henry the Navigator, the Knights of Christ and the Templars. It turns out that this books is full of suppositions presented as facts. It's just another of these works that claims merovingians are privvy to certain knowledge about Christ's bloodline.The sad thing is that the subject, that is, Portugal's link to the Templars and how the latter influenced the Age of Discoveries, either by sheer economic or heraldic force, is a massive and yet poorly research topic. Maybe serious historians have not found a reason to add the Templars to the already well-know narratives of the Portuguese ouverture to the Atlantic. Was Henry the Navigator mainly reliant on the resources of the Order of Christ to finance not only his discovery voyages but also all the logistics and inteligence gathering necessary to keep on exploring the Africa coast in search for an alternate route to Asia? Who knows, but this is not the book for that.
