TRUTH about the Knights Templars - Forgotten History

Throughout history many military organizations became legendary for their prowess in battle, such as the Spartans, Roman legions, Persian Immortals, and modern day warriors such as the Special Air Service, U.S. Navy Seals, U.S. Marines and U.S. Army Rangers and Special Forces. But none of these elite groups became both politically and financially powerful, surpassing the wealth of entire kingdoms as well as having total autonomy over their actions. Except one. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
