Arthurian Legend and the Knights Templar
 |
The Manx Grail Chronicles. In 1868, on the Isle of Man, an ancient Druid order murdered the consort to their Queen for failing to produce a male heir. Unbeknownst to them, the dead man carried a secret of his own – the location of the fabled Holy Grail. Nearly 140 years later, Robert Corkish uncovers artifacts that lead him on a riddle-driven race to find the Grail, taking along his wife, his cousin Christian, a local librarian, and a couple of Australians who carry their own secret with them. It is an intriguing novel inspired by a true event, filled with lively characters, ancient folklore ranging from the Knights Templar to King Arthur, and a provocative mystery that should interest anyone curious about literature, mythology, folklore, history – or who enjoys a good thriller. |
That is the story behind the fascinating novel by John Shimmin, who says "Don’t look to history for truth — history often takes on the agenda of the teller. Mythology may hold more clues to ancient truths than history." [Amazon]
A statement that I personally cannot agree more with!

History is a distortion of the truth and may even have been deliberately adjusted to mislead us. Read about the real and tangible links between Arthur, The Grail, Tarot, The Book of Revelation and the Judeo/Christian tradition in ‘The God Secret’
