The first sentence makes most people interested in history dismiss the article. It's too bad the media is so obsessed over this fiction novel as this is quite an interesting find.

My thoughts, too. Shouldn't it be "the Knights Templar, the most important Christian military order during the Crusades..."

Totally agree, anytime the MSM gets involved the tend to screw up the facts with their stupid spin. Amen.

Even without reference to the Da Vinci Code, it's confusing. The "first bodies?"
" What is that supposed to mean? They've never discovered remains of members of this widespread order before (untrue)? ......Or these were the "first" in that they were the founders of the order?...or the first to die in battle? Unfortunately, clarity is not valued among journalists half as much as sensationalism.

Thank you. Exactly my first thought. Why tie a verifiable historical find to a fictional novel? There seems almost a pathological desire to make the absurd Da Vinci Code historical.

I had a co-worker who could only relate to foreign affairs by compare/contrast it to a Simpson’s episode. Drove me nuts!
