Publisher's Synopsis
There is proof that the Holy Grail existed thousands of years before Christ, and is as old as the Garden of Eden. For a thousand years the Knights Templar have been the guardians of the Holy Grail. During their hundred years in the Middle East, the Templars received the Holy Grail from a lineage of Holy Grail Guardians that had existed for many thousands of years previously. This ancient Grail lineage, which included John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and John the Apostle, originated on Sri Lanka, the island paradise recognised within the Arab world as the true location of the fabled Garden of Eden. A unique history of the Knights Templar and the Grail, "Guardians of the Holy Grail" includes chapters on: Rosslyn Chapel and the Sinclairs of Scotland; John the Baptist and the Mandeans from Sri Lanka; The Mystery of Baphomet, the Templar 'demon'; The Gnostic & Sexual Tantric rites of the Knights Templar; Alchemy & the Mystery of the Black Madonna; and, The Secrets of the Freemasons and Johannites.
