Vitezovi Templari u Novome svijetu: Kako je Henry Sinclair donio Gral u Akadiju
Almost a hundred years before Columbus discovered the New World, Scottish Prince Henry Sinclair sailed to what is now Nova Scotia. It was this same Prince Henry Sinclair who offered refuge to the Knights Templar, who were fleeing persecution by the French
The book by the Canadian author William F. Mann presents a fascinating thesis that the Knights Templar, after the abolition of the Order in 1307–1314, fled across the Atlantic and centuries before Columbus established secret bases in today's eastern Canada and northeastern USA (Nova Scotia, Oak Island, New England).
Mann, a descendant of one of the Masonic families associated with the area, claims that the legendary Templar treasure (which includes the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant and original documents about the life of Jesus) is hidden in the New World. The key evidence, he says, is: the mysterious stone crosses and inscriptions on Oak Island, the geometric arrangement of megalithic structures in New England that corresponds to Templar principles, and ancient maps (eg the Zeno map) showing the Atlantic coast a century before the official discovery.
The author connects the Templar fleet from La Rochelle in 1307 with later Scottish Freemasons and the son of Henry Sinclair, who supposedly sailed to Nova Scotia in 1398. The book is rich in illustrations, maps, and family lore, and Mann claims that traces are still visible in the landscape. Although mainstream historians dismiss the thesis as speculative, the book remains a favorite among alternative history enthusiasts and the inspiration for the series The Curse of Oak Island.
