-——enigmatic medieval monk-knights-——
There you have it....... the Templar truth is that the truth is unknown. The waters are so muddy that there is insufficient clarity to see the real historical record.
I thought of mohammedan “art”, as well, when I saw the chapel paintings.
“Those who have been saved have been saved through one man”, this Italian.”?

I was surprised, as well, that they did not get Marconi.
I've been reading a series of Medieval mysteries by Michael Jecks, that take place in the Devon and Cornwall areas. They feature a former Templar Knight Sir Baldwin Furnshill, who has returned home and been given the title Keeper of the King's Peace. Only his servant (they'd fought together in the Crusades), and his close friend Simon Puttock, the local Bailiff, know of his past.
Looking at the painted symbols on the Chapel walls sort of reminded me of the Rosary beads used by Catholics during prayers for some reason.
I’m not Catholic but I understand that each bead and larger medals and crucifix are a reminder of a specific prayer to be made in a specific order. It represents a sort of mnemonic way to remember what prayers to say.
Maybe the symbols were a visual mnemonic representation of a series of prayers that the Templars were supposed to pray in a specific order.
Nothing, really. Just one heck of a pick.
Templar bump.
Because no one can ask you to join. You have to be the one to ask.
We call it 'joining of your won free will and accord'.
““Those who have been saved have been saved through one man”, this Italian.”?
None of the ‘trivia nuts’ came close to Marconi.”
And Marconi had Tesla to thank!

Yes and Samuel F. B. Morse got his name immortalized.
‘Tony Soprano’ had a diatribe as to how the Italian Inventors were not given credit for their inventions. He specified Antonio Meucci having to take a back seat to ‘Don Ameche’ for the invention of the telephone.
“What hath God wrought?”
Otis Pond, an engineer then working for Tesla, said, “Looks as if Marconi got the jump on you.”
Tesla replied, “Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents.”
Later Tesla got mad and changed his mind, when Marconi won the Nobel Prize in 1911. He sued the Marconi Company for infringement, and won after the case went to the U.S. Supreme Court.
