When you're talking Templars and gold you need to remember that they took a vow of poverty.
They had no personal items.
All gold was held by the Templar banks. That's what you need to look for.
The templars ran the first international banking system including accounts, writs, and transfers.
You could deposit your gold in a Templar bank in Europe, get a Templar encoded writ and take it to a bank in the holy land for reimbursement. That way you aren't caring gold on the road where you can be robbed.
That was part of the way they protected pilgrims.
It would be so amazing to find one of those banks intact. To see how the treasure was stored and protected. How it was accounted for. In todays world of digital banking it is easy to assign money to an individual out of a coffer that is essentially virtual. In those times there would have had to have been actual pieces of gold and silver attached to an account held for the depositor. Must have been a bookkeeping nightmare...
I am from Turkish and eleven years ol. I am watching this channel. I like it.❤❤
Truly living the Indiana Jones dream, Albert. I love this series so much!!
This is why its important for skills and stories to be handed down through generations, in Australia when the first bricklayers built Sydney they would mark their bricks so they would be paid for them, those marks on the stones at @6:00 are from the different stonemasons who would mark their stone to show they made it and get paid accordingly. They are mason marks they are not templar marks.
I had no clue of that! I've seen the marks, just never knew what they were for!😮
This is my 3rd documentary watching this guy. I’m all in it at this point! It’s amazing what he’s showing us and kinda taking us back in time. Well done to this Chanel and the guy whole crew that’s showing us this!!
Albert makes the show really.
Chanel? Perfume or clothes?
This is very fine piece of documentary, but it kind of re-dramatized into one the 2 separate, yet intertwined, stories of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller orders both operating in Acra at the twilight of Crusaders' kingdom in the Holy Land. While the Knights Templar met their demise at the beginning of the 14th century, the Knights Hospitaller, who inherent the Knights Templar wealth, still exists (though they too lost the battle to the Mamluks in Acra). Everyone here knows that the lagoon used to be a mediaeval fortress and there are several descriptions of it in art, like The Siege of Acre by Dominique Papety (1840). It sank as sea level rose over the last 800 years. While, towards the end of this documentary Dr. Lin is moving around the very beautiful site of the excavated Knight Halls, it's a shame he doesn't mention it at all and doesn't tell the most remarkable story of its discovery in the 1990s. This is due to the fact that the Ottomans who established the new Acra after years of abandonment, used to fill the old buildings with sand and build on top of them rather than robbed them out. Thus, on a striking coincidence, a passerby enter a cavity full of sand noticing some remarkable vaults. There were full huge dining hall and other great medieval halls, all well-preserved, in robust Romanesque (and not gothic) style, detected when all the sand was excavated. These are just a few clarifying notes in a much broader subject. But you better come and see for yourself.
This documentary, videography and overall output just screams EXCELLENCE! This is truly lovely Albert. Well done to the National Geographic team as well.
Wonderfully produced intelligent facts and artifacts and archeological points of interest many facts of history still unknown and undocumented but I'm glad I am still learning in my 60s born in the 60s learn all my life lessons continuously with intelligent things like this! ❤
I remember when I looked forward to going to the doctors just so I could read the latest nat geo book
What a core memory, me too! 🥹🥹
Never mind the castles. A decent warhorse was HELLISHLY expensive. The monk knights were from noble families, that was the only way to have horse, armor and sword. Ridiculous amounts of gold was needed just to be a wealth renouncing Templar knight.
Neat!
I believe it's spelled "whorehouse"
They could hardly afford a horse hence why they had to ride two deep
@@curbwhiz2010😂
They were donated everything as they got more popular. In the beginning they had to take whatever they could find
Finally, something good. It's been a while since I've seen a good documentary.
I love the guide! He doesn’t say come with me. He says “LET’S GO!”😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
ANOTHER ONE! Love this guy!
Absolutely fascinating. What it would be to be able to travel back in time to visit such places. The medieval world was such an incredible period for great engineering.
Exactly. Truly great minds it took to figure out how to mine, cut, and place those stones to build that temple.
Oh yea the plague would have been wonderful to keep from getting
Dr Lin does a great job showing the applied use of current technology, that uncovers and shares ancient history which is obscure and has been forgotten through time.
The videography is excellent. We’re enchanted with the Knight Templars.
I am amazed! What an astonishing documentary. I was always interested about the Knights Templar and if may be they were no so saint, they finished so tragically. All for power and money.
- Bro is on an epic mission to uncover Templar history.
- Using state-of-the-art equipment.
- And doing it in an extraordinary way.
.
I love this so much, it's like watching a movie.
Albert Lin really has it down perfectly 🔥
There was a time whe the National Geographic was highly respected organization. I recall my uncle giving me a subscription to the magazine when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a love for geography ever since. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
My fav History Channel.. Albert Lin... Thank you Sir
seeing the secret chambers and underground layers of acre really bring me back to playing assassins creed 1, and the tunnels are very similar
Robyn Young is an excellent historical fiction author, with the fall of the Acre Templars (and the Knights more widely) as the theme of one of her incredible series.
I throughly enjoyed her books as well.
Dude Albert Lin has the most amazing job, I’d like to check his back story anyone know anything about mr.Lin? Israel looks like one of the most beautiful places In the world, so rich in history along with the surrounding areas
Excellent story of a long forgotten time.
One of the best history videos
Wonderful traveling with Albert Lin
Tyvmuch 💙🕊
Dude keep going with this stuff you're very good at it .
Outstanding
this is just a prime example of technology progressing at a rate faster than experts can keep up with. I'm a network engineer but I'm constantly feeling behind in my skills because of how fast things change.
Its cool as heck to see technologies that can show you mapped locations side by side like that IRL. I thought until now that was only a feature of video games. Nice to see it brought to reality.
Knight templars is truly great warriors and their legacy stands forever
Great piece of history. Amazing documentary.
Top notch, world class documentary and host. Just elite!
That was fascinating! Love tech and archeology together along with history and mystery!
Great documentary Albert makes you feel as though your on the journey with him.
Brilliant episode! Thanks very much for posting and be safe 🙏
Fascinating!! As always, well done Albert !! We love you!!❤❤❤
What a fantastic documentary. Perfect in every way.
This was the most amazing and satisfying documentary. Loved it !!
I really love the history! i love this! salute to you and your team and also to this channel! 😊❤
Fantastic concept and implementation. I’ve pursued the Templars for the better part of fifty years, perforce into a lot of dead ends. Your approach will supersede many obstacles. Bravo
Please give us more information on the Knights Templar.
I'm thinking that they were deemed a disgrace for losing Jerusalem. The thought probably would had been that God & Christ abandoned them, because they became greedy and immoral.
Excellent documentary, hoping for more like this...
Nat Geo, telling us stories and sparking curiosity and wonder since I was a baby.
Brilliantly researched and presented.
Fascinating!!! Well researched and presented!
Love watching this documentary.
Excellent historical information 👍
👍
fantastic episode Many thanks for posting, and be careful.
Amazing Mr Albert leen
I just watched the docu video of Angkor wat before watching this video, and to my suprise the geometric design of the Angkor Wat Temple and the Belvoir Fortress is likely SIMILAR!! Mindblowing!!
I love your story I love history your amazing Albert his you showed us the way it looked amazing technology
love this episode so much!! thank you for this amazing content..
this is an amazing show!! a lot of information! and giving us not only history but a visual of how structures and places looked like back in time! like bringing it back to life!.
and the templars stretch throughout Europe so of course not they weren't going to leave that gold for the enemy, those coins are located in different places.. who knows where? but one the sea and many other places...
Loved It... Thank You.
Even though I've seen this a dozen times, it still amazes me, breathless even. Seeing it as it would have been
Very cool that you guys did a more modern technically advanced look at this. I saw a show about this a few years ago. But they didn't have this technology. And the only speculated that it could have been possible for a fortress was there. But thought more that it was a sea wall. And I believe after that show it would have been the fortress. So glad you took that approach 😊
FINALLY!!!! THANK YOU ALBERT AND TEAM!
Amazing documentary
The Baha'is history is relating that a tunnel was still in activity at one port's ends (now the pizzeria) in 1865 as well as very damp chambers under the level of the sea.
When I see Knight Templars, click. And this one was fascinating. Thanks, Albert Lin and Team.
THANKS AMAZING DOCUMENTRY
My favorite line: "No secrets can be kept from the archaeologists."
this deserves more likes
One of the best books about this fortress in Acre and Safet wrote Robyn Young, Brethren trilogy. About the siege and how Acre fall.
Beautifully filmed and so interesting:)
Absolutely fascinating lin!
Excellent documentary. Very impressive.
Mr. Lin, awesome tech.
Excellent documentary!!
Wow! Very well done!
Never mind that the knights hospitallers of St. John had major fortress in acre but not the Templars (
Popular history makes crusader period sound like it was all about the Templars. 😢
You're right. I even overlooked that point.
A-freakin'-mazing!! 👍
Awesome job !!
Have been looking a documentary likes , finally got it
Thank you guys❤❤❤
Try DW English they produced high quality documentary on various topics such as travel culture world news environmental science etc
Great Doc!!
Very good video. Thanks love this kind of history. Now go help Oak Island
I find it interesting that in both Isreal and the Norte Dam in Paris they used Iron spikes to hold stones together. They had to have had an escape route out to sea
Much appreciated ❤❤🙏🙏🙏
❤❤🙏🙏🙏
LOOOOVE THIS SHOW!!!! Host is top notch! Cheers!
0:17 woah woah woah, no, they did not battle for god gold and glory. Like them or not, whether you believe them to be heroes or villains, the irrefutable fact of the matter is that templars had NO personal possessions. The organization was wealthy because of donations from Christians in Europe, but they needed that wealth because they were a standing, professional army. That's very unique to the holy miliary orders in western Europe during the high middle ages.
The individual Templars were incredibly restricted, they were only allowed to eat meat a few times a week. They could only have wine for communion or heavily diluted with water. They had to wear their surcoat at all times, they weren't even allowed to remove their boots when they slept because they weren't supposed to be living a comfortable life. They were not allowed any physical contact with any women including family (even their mothers). They weren't allowed to hunt, they couldn't shave their beards, and like I mentioned before they weren't allowed any personal possessions. Their cloths, their weapons, armor, and horses all belonged to the order, and most importantly to what was said about templars battling for god gold and glory, they were not allowed to loot, and they weren't paid. They had to renounce any titles or inheritance, when they were not campaigning or performing their roles in the order they lived like monks.
To say that Templars had any motivation to enrich themselves is absolute nonsense and perpetuates a myth, that because the order itself was wealthy that it equates to Templars being wealthy. it wasn't the case. If you remember the Nights watch in Game of Thrones, that is similar to how the military orders like the Templars and Hospitallers were (They were the inspiration for the Nights Watch). They swore oaths to the order and to the church.
So whether you believe they were crazed fanatics or genuine soldiers of God one thing is perfectly clear, they were motivated by piety, not wealth or greed.
This host is always so engaging.👌
We 👍 it very much. More.🙏.
