TEMPLARS / ANCIENT MYSTERIES "Bill Mann blends Pythagorean geometry, hermetic wisdom, and secrets of Freemasonry to reveal a blueprint to the final resting place of the Holy Grail. From the Tarot to Tolkien, from Medieval France to modern day Nova Scotia, the reader is initiated into mysteries often hidden in plain sight." --Steven Sora, author of The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar "A work of insight and discovery that will be of interest to all Masons and seekers of treasures and secrets." --Andrew Sinclair, author of The Sword and the Grail "Utterly fascinating reading. Anyone who loves subtle detective stories will be enthralled by Bill Mann's research." --Michael Bradley, author of Holy Grail Across the Atlantic In 1398, almost one hundred years before Columbus arrived in the New World, the Scottish prince Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, sailed to what is today Nova Scotia, where his presence was recorded by Mi'kmaq Indian legends about Glooskap. This was the same Prince Henry Sinclair who offered refuge to the Knights Templar fleeing the persecution unleashed against the Order by French king Philip the Fair early in the fourteenth century. With evidence from archaeological sites, indigenous legend, and sacred geometry handed down by the Templar Order to the Freemasons, author William F. Mann has now rediscovered the site of the settlement established by Sinclair and his Templar followers in the New World. Here they found a safe refuge for the Grail--the holy bloodline connecting the House of David to the Merovingian Dynasty through the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene--until the British exiled all the Acadians in 1755. WILLIAM F. MANN's late great-uncle was a Supreme Grand Master of the Knights Templar of Canada and it was from him that the author received the key that would eventually unlock this mystery. He lives in Oakville, Ontario.
