Someone doubted the historical record of Templars?

I'm a little mystified at this assertion myself.

Ah yes, the Da Vinci code. Foucault's Pendulum for retarded people.

Oh, I've already seen one of those knights. He was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

This may help:
Israel Antiquities Authority
Dig around the site (no pun intended). I heard of the Authority on a Discovery Channel episode where they were excavating a structure believed to be once occupied by the Knights Templar.

The remains were found beneath the ruined walls of Jacob's Ford, an overthrown castle dating back to the Crusades, which had been lost for centuriesHow does one misplace a castle for a few centuries? I guess they didn't have Amber Alerts back then.

So, they're referring to physical remains and artifacts, as opposed to historical records?
To: UCANSEE2
probably the calendar watches that were worn by the knights were broken during the battle, so the archaeologists just had to read the time and date.

So far, their claims seem a bit outrageous as they offer no validation nor give any explanation as to the 'how' of their ability to so precisely date this find.
The date the castle fell?

"How does one misplace a castle for a few centuries?"
Well, we "lost" James Cittie (Jamestown) for a few centuries, and it's only 400 years old, so I guess it's possible to lose a castle over a much longer period of time.
To: mnehrling
My thoughts, too. Shouldn't it be "the Knights Templar, the most important Christian military order during the Crusades..."
To: RegulatorCountry
"The first bodies of the Knights Templar" Sounds like it, huh?

Unlike the NY Times!
To: blam
that they were killed by Saladin, the feared Muslim leader That can't be... I thought Saladin was the wise and peaceful ruler who only wanted muslims, christians, and jews to all get along.

To: Dog Gone
well, if you read the sentence very carefully, it is clear that it was the Crusades, not the castle, that had been lost for centuries.
i always embed gps chips in my castles, and i have never lost any of them.

"Sounds like it, huh?"
It also sounds as if the very existence of the order was being questioned, further into the article.
