ok, here i am again, commenting on one of your older videos the book he mentioned about Star Wars ..i have it, and a series Campbell put out about myths he was one of Authors i looked up to, showing how myths and social psychology are intertwined i wanted to go to school, for what he taught, but since i couldn't find a school, i never went

Shout out!!! Elmore Lodge no. 30 Can you comment on Charles Heckathorn’s Legend of the Temple? Is this a view held by Masons nowadays?(strictly speaking about Hiram Abiff’s family lineage) I have asked many brothers here in Idaho and no one has even read the story at all…

I really don't think it's as simple as that, seems that's what you want, but the Templars were vast, varied and spread out. They were the first major corporation of sorts and developed a banking system. It's a very long and complicated story and I don't think anyone knows all the facts because they weren't documented, the Masonic order of Knights Templar derives its name from the medieval Catholic military order Knights Templar. However, it does not claim any direct lineal descent from the original Templar order. Seriously? Then why use the name? What is to be gained from it?

Sign of reverence. Some freemason knights templar have claimed lineage in past but not most. My great great grandfather from Detroit lodge was knights templar. I don't show family record or oral tradition they came from the historic ones nor do I have record of him claiming so from that line. He was 32nd degree grand master. They were all inventors with patents though. His son invented the diamond drill for jewelry. I was under the impression growing up they had the secrets to math in the universe. And they came from stone masons long ago. That was my understanding.

Didn’t the Templars do a lot of that because people kept getting attacked at the time? It would certainly make sense in the context of the Crusades. Plus, a lot of those people I read somewhere were benefactors of the Templars because they gave them purpose and places to be. (I think a lot of them too were less well off before joining the order, and I remember reading somewhere that one of them tried to help the Order during the trials by the King of France.)

It was a machine... Yeah, i know, thats weird! But go read "the Giza Power Plant" and see the parts that are still left.. So, Akhenaten tried to convert egypt to monotheism. Look at what HE was teaching... When it didnt work out he was forced to leave.. Changed his name to Moses, and then returned to TAKE the Hebrews out.. Well, looks like he took something else when he left too... Something that was likely inside the stone box inside the Pyramid... So why did the pharaoh send his whole army after Moses? Id say all the lights in Egypt probly went out after Moses left. And the Pharaoh wanted his power source back... Didnt get it though. It ended up in Solomon's temple... After that, and much later, the king of Babylon decided to take Jerusalem. They surrounded it, and dismantled the whole temple, and then took it to Babylon in pieces.. The Ark wasnt found though. Because it was hidden underground.... And whatever was in it was taken to Ethiopia... When the Templar Knights took Jerusalem and occupied the temple mount, they did alot of digging. And followed the trail.... THATS the info they had and why the pope and a few others had them exterminated... Well, the survivors fled Europe and headed to N America.

Christianity predates Freemasonry by at least 1000 years. So it’s wholly inaccurate to suggest the fraternity as we know it had any influence on the early days of Christianity. The alleged connection between the Templars and Christianity is romantic, but not factual. The crusaders like the Templars did help spread Christianity and also assisted pilgrims traveling from Europe to the Holy Land. But as is stated clearly on the video the just is no evidence of a connection between any of the Crusading Knights and stone-mason guilds that would eventually give rise to what we know of as Freemasonry today.
