h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ahhh - you missed the wholesale slaughter of Palestinian civilians and French landowners. Boo hoo...

The Templers are so much more fun when you consider the way they regularly hacked to pieces unarmed people who had surrendered.

Lost knowledge of the Ages? Ark of the Covenant? Try typical loonies with bloodlust and material avarice. They did the Church's dirty work for a few centuries and then got back what they dished out.

Anyways everyone knows the Ark of Covenant is on a small Caribbean island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle with the Yeti, Elvis and Amelia Earhart.

Your complaint is largely fictitious and not based on fact. You have got the Knights Templar confused with other goings on at roughly the same time of the crusades and you have got mixed up with fact and fiction, or to be more accurate - myth. There is no factual, historical evidence for the kinghts ever having acquired any of the "holy" objects you have listed, although myth of this does exist. One should not base their "knowledge" of the templar on this myths as it just creates more prejudice against the order. I suggest you read some books about the temple - that is, books based on the historical facts (of which both sides, european/french and arab historians can be found) - and then you will see that the true knights templar are far from your vision of them. Once you are aware of the facts i'm sure you will right a more accurate article.
