You do your homework, develop your own theories and, then, share them with others if you wish. This well footnoted work shares the authors conclusions developed from a reasonable body of research. If you don't know much about the post-slaughter Templars, this would be a good piece to get started. The majority of Americans still believe Columbus discovered America!

Pirates & The Lost Templar Fleet: The Secret Naval War Between The Knights Templar & The Vatican by David Hatcher Childress is an informed and informative study, an impressive history which opens new interpretations and possibilities between the lines of the official records. When the Templars were disbanded by papal order in 1307, their great fleet disappeared from its base at La Rochelle. What happened to these ships and their treasures? Pirates & The Lost Templar Fleet explores a number of fascinating possible theories, including the hypothesis that some Templars reached Canada 100 years before Columbus -- who perhaps had Templar maps in his possession when he set sail. Black-and-white illustrations embellish this amazing and iconoclastic study and theoretical reconstruction of the unknown. Also very highly recommended are three other thematically related titles from Adventures Unlimited Press: The History Of The Knights Templar; The Tamplars' Legacy In Montreal, The New Jerusalem; and Nostradamus And The Lost Templar Legacy.
