What was Atlantis?

Was it a place, a culture,
and what happened to it?

I'm Timothy Hogan, grandmaster
of the Knights Templar.

And I'm Scott Wolter,
a forensic geologist

and a Knights Templar, and this
is Mysteries of the Knights

Templar.

So the question is, who were
the medieval Knights Templar,

and who are the Templars today.

But more importantly
than that, what

is the connection between
the Templars and Atlantis,

and who better to ask that
question than the grandmaster

himself.

Tim, who were the
Knights Templar?

History has suggested that
it was an order founded in 1118,

specifically, to defend pilgrims
on their way to the Holy Land.

This was during the Crusades,
and pilgrims needed protection

in order to go there.

But we know, in fact,
this was actually a cover.

The Templar order was
founded because there

was a belief there was a
knowledge that there had been

a prediluvian civilization.

The Bible referred to
it as the time of Noah

and that it had collapsed
during a massive cataclysm.

Flood is how it's
described in the Bible.

Ultimately, these
Templars, they needed

to track down the
pockets of survival

of the knowledge, the
technology, the philosophies

that had been preserved from
this prediluvian civilization.

So what I'm hearing you
say is that Atlantis was not

necessarily a place that
sunk into the ocean.

It was a high culture.

Yeah, it was more
like a worldwide network

of information that was being
preserved at different parts

of the world.

And when this
cataclysm occurred,

everything fell apart.

It fell into disarray, and we
went into a very dark period

in humanity.

But the Templars understood
that if they were ever

going to bring Europe
out of the Dark Ages,

they needed to find the
remnants of this lost

civilization, the
technology, the philosophy,

and use it to spur people
into a new high culture.

OK, let me ask you this.

Is this a fair way to couch
this that the Crusades

and the Templars
involvement in Crusades

of capturing the Holy Land
and establishing really

which was a base of
operations so that they could

go throughout the
region to round up

some of this ancient knowledge,
this ancient information,

is that pretty much the story?

Yeah, while Crusaders
were busy trying to fight

for the Holy Land and
taking over territory,

the Templars were more concerned
with digging for artifacts.

So what it sounds like to me
is the Templars had a mission

even before the Crusades.

They knew this stuff was there.

How did they get
that information?

Did it trickle down all the
way from the time of Atlantis.

Well, it did.

You have to remember that
the Templars largely came out

of Albigensian families
in Southern France, which

were a Gnostic sect.

So they already
had ideas that were

contrary to the popular
establishments of the time.

You mean of the
Roman Catholic Church?

Roman Catholic Church
and the monarchies.

They were very
Democratic, and they

were open to spiritual ideas
in which the individual was

empowered.

This allowed them
to go out and try

to seek out other communities
that had these views.

In particular, there
was a tradition

that caused the Templars
to travel to Constantinople

to meet with a group
there that was known

as the Brothers of the East.

This particular group
in Constantinople

had originally come from Greece,
had been established in 1057,

and they set themselves
up in an area that

was known as the Church of
Saint Sergius and Bacchus, which

was a building designed by an
alchemist in which Pythagorean

and other ideas
were incorporated

into it, Gnostic ideas.

Sacred geometry.

Sacred geometry, absolutely.

So Tim, there's a pervasive
rumor within the Templar

tradition that I've
heard for years,

and I would like to get
confirmation from you.

The equilateral,
equal armed cross

that adorned the
Templars white tunics

and that they're famous for,
that's a very old symbol.

Is it true that it goes back
to the time of the Atlanteans?

Yeah, in fact, it's a symbol
that is found all throughout

the ancient world, in
particular, ancient Sumer.

It was something
that was utilized

by what were known
as the Anunnaki

or the gods of ancient
Sumer, but you also find it

in Egypt and other places.

And it related, specifically,
in ancient Sumer

to an alchemical science
that was known as gra.al.

That sounds familiar.

Yes.

This came to be
partially associated

with what was later to be known
as the Holy Grail right, which

the Templars were
said to be guarded.

So they adopted this symbol.

So a lot of people are
going to ask a question,

how did these different
traditions recognize each

other, how do they know who's
on their side and who's not.

And I think that breaks
down to signs of recognition

just like we have in
our modern Templar order

and within Freemasonry.

Correct?

Correct.

Yeah, there were certain signs.

There were certain
handshakes that

had been passed down
from early times

that these different Gnostic
families and traditions had

been holding on to.

So when Hugues de Payens
and Godfrey de Saint-Omer

had inherited these things,
they went to Constantinople.

They were able to exchange them
with the Brothers of the East.

In particular, there was a
Johannite tradition under a guy

by the name of Theoclite
and another man

by the name of
Michael Psellos, who

was a very famous
French philosopher.

And they had been
at Constantinople.

And they had the
blueprints for what

Hugues de Payens and
Godfrey de Saint-Omer

needed to do to form
the Templar order

and, specifically, to go to
Jerusalem for the next stage

of their mission.

There's documentation that
has come to me over the last 15

years.

It's called the
Cremona document.

And one part of it is
a specific narrative

that talks about Hughes de
Payens, the first grandmaster

of the Knights Templar
and five other knights who

entered under the south wall
and followed a tunnel system

and found an ancient
ritual chamber.

How old it is unknown,
but inside that chamber

they found--

or I should probably
say recovered, not

discovered artifacts that
they knew were there.

This included ancient
scrolls, ancient knowledge,

as you mentioned, technologies
in the form of instrumentation,

gold, wealth, and the remains
of a very important person

in templarism going all the way
back to the first century, John

the Baptist.

Is there a connection
between John the Baptist

in the Johannite tradition?

There is, in fact, the entire
Johannite tradition got its

name specifically
from John the Baptist,

who is deemed to be
the initiator of Jesus.

And according to the
Johannite tradition,

he was meant to be the leader
of this spiritual tradition.

Unfortunately, he
was taken out early,

but the Johns of the Bible were
all part of this tradition.

And it's believed that
there was a succession,

a line of succession going all
the way up to the Theoclite

in Constantinople, who then
in turned entrusted Hugh de

Payens with this same mission.

OK, so what you're saying is
there's a tradition that starts

with John the Baptist
comes forward all the way

to Theoclite, right.

Correct.

How about going
the other way?

Does this go all the
way back to Atlantis?

It does.

And this is where we go back
to some of the Babylonian

traditions that talk
about the God Oannes, who

came from the sea and
baptized priests kings

and gave them the keys
to rebuild civilization.

It was deemed that these
myths were probably

alluding to the Atlanteans,
who had survived this cataclysm

and had preserved pockets of
information and technology.

And it's worth pointing out
that the word Oannes, the name

Oannes, whose feast day in
the ancient world was June 24,

just happened to become
John the Baptist day.

- That's exactly right.

And John in Greek is Ioannis.

So coincidence?

It was a tradition.

Exactly.

It was information
being passed down.

The Templars recovered this.

They began their
archaeological digging.

For the first nine years
that they were in Jerusalem,

that's all they did was
dig under the Temple Mount.

And information that
they got from there

led them to other locations
like Egypt, Lebanon,

and other places, ultimately,
to The New World of what

was to become known as America.

Right.

Well, the evidence
that we see is

in the form of Templar
graffiti carved all

over the Middle East region.

That's correct.

They met with people
like the Sabeans

in Northern Turkey,
who were preserving

a whole tradition in
the area that we now

refer to as Gobekli Tepe, which
had the seeds of civilization

being preserved there, all the
way down into Egypt in places

like Abydos, where
they were meeting

with Coptic Christians, which
was a different tradition.

And then within
Jerusalem itself as they

were digging into the Temple
Mount and other places, one

of the things that came across--

and this is from
traditional Jewish sources--

is they came across
certain jars.

And as they opened
up these jars much

like we find with the Dead
Sea Scrolls or the Nag Hammadi

library, they discovered
these new texts, which

what we now know is, were
the Zohar, the text known

as the fundamental
aspects of the Zohar.

So this would have been the
Genesis of Jewish mysticism,

the Zohar?

Absolutely.

Not only was it the Genesis
of Jewish mysticism,

but there was
information in the Zohar

that pointed to land on the
other side of the ocean.

In fact, they talked about
other continents and the Earth

being round and
where people lived.

And this was fundamental
to the Templars

in their discoveries of what
there was to follow thereafter,

including going
to the New World.

OK.

Just recently some
images were shared

with me and some drone
footage of a site that's

2 and 1/2 miles away
from Gobekli Tepe.

And we've now coined the phrase
for this site Templar Tepe

because there are a couple of
walls with Templar graffiti

carvings that are undeniable,
unmistakable, which tells us

the tradition was there.

The question is,
what were they doing.

Was it somehow connected
to Gobekli Tepe?

And I think the
prevailing wisdom now

is pretty much universal
that Gobekli Tepe was

an ancient observatory
dating back

to the time of the Atlanteans
because you mentioned

this catastrophic event
that didn't completely

destroy the culture,
significantly

reduced it almost
down to nothing.

And what we see at Gobekli Tepe
is this incredible observatory

was intentionally buried.

Archaeologists are saying
it was intentionally

buried at the very same time
of this catastrophic event that

has now been labeled the
Younger Dryas impact event.

That's right.

Well, and it just so happens
that this Younger Dryas impact

event, as it's being called
now, falls exactly in line

with the time frame of
when Plato specifically

said Atlantis collapsed.

And not only that,
but we find remnants

of that same story being
preserved at Edfu in Egypt

talking about this
great cataclysm

and how long ago it
was, and it falls in

with that exact
same time period.

What we understand
now as Templars

was that as that
civilization collapsed,

the technology had
to go into hiding.

It had to be preserved
in different areas.

And certainly, places like
Lebanon and Egypt and Jerusalem

became fertile places
to preserve this stuff

at that time.

And one of the things that
was found by the Templars

was a series of arks,
which are now associated

with arks of the Covenant.

Wait a minute
a series of arks?

I thought the ark was
just the ark, the one ark.

No, there were multiple arks.

In fact, some traditions
say that there

may be as many as 100.

The Templar order has found
evidence of at least 10,

but they recovered
6, and they knew

that these things couldn't fall
into the hands of the power

structures of the day.

So they had to go into hiding.

So there was a great effort on
the part of the Templar order

to take these arks and
try to understand them,

how they worked, and it turns
out these arks what they really

were was giant capacitors.

They could generate
electricity, and they

were filled with a
superconductive substance,

which the Bible refers to as--

Manna.

Manna, that's right.

And manna in Hebrew
just means "what is it?"

And we know now it was
probably named this

because when you
test this substance,

it doesn't show up as anything.

Like, most tests are done with
spectroscopic analysis or--

Infrared spectrometer,
X-ray diffraction.

Right.

Back then they
would do a burn test

to see what color the
flame was, but this

didn't show up as anything.

But it had these
unusual properties.

And since they couldn't tell
what it was, what is it.

OK, here's the
big question though.

You said the manna was
the power source, right,

and that these were
capacitors, batteries.

What did they run?

Thing that we think is
it was probably broadcasted

electricity throughout the
planet from the old Atlantean

tradition.

They probably was a world grid
network, electricity being

broadcasted around the world.

And when this
cataclysm happened,

it just shut that all off.

So they were able to
preserve the capacitors,

and that's about it.

But the grid was shut down.

The grid was shut down.

And the Templars
were wise enough

to recognize, OK, this
happened in antiquity.

It could happen again.

They had the mission of
trying to rebuild civilization

to where Atlantis was before
recognizing that civilization

is fragile, and it
could fall apart.

So they had to preserve the
keys to rebuild civilization

again and again.

When civilization
collapsed, there

was an attempt to try to
preserve what they could.

Some of this not only
included these arks,

but they also
included instructions

for government, Democratic
ideas, power of the individual,

the connection of the
individual to God,

and that the source
of who we really are

is connected to the
creator and that everybody

through their own efforts
could connect with that.

This was the basis of what
empowered democracy originally.

So really what you're
talking about is something that

we've all heard that
resonates with all humans,

that we are all born
with inalienable rights--

That's right.

- as humans when we
come into this world,

that we all have a basic list
of things that we are entitled

to just being here, right.

That's exactly right.

And so the Templars tried to
preserve that and establish

that.

There were maps
of the old world.

In fact, many of these maps
that the Templars were creating

and that the Templars
also inherited

were later to
become known as what

Admiral Piri Reis of Turkey or
the Ottoman Empire at the time

was cataloging.

And he even said, hey, he got
these maps from earlier maps.

Well, these were Templar maps
that had been being preserved.

One of the things that's
always fascinated me is

the Piri Reis map.

And there are things on that
map that shouldn't be there.

Yeah, he had cataloged
things prior to Columbus,

including Antarctica
without ice,

and also the entire
South American area.

And this seems to
suggest information

that had been preserved from
a previous civilization.

If you're talking about
Antarctica being mapped without

ice, you're talking
a long time ago.

Probably what happened was
there was even a tradition from

before Atlantis that was
preserving this information.

These are part of
the cache of things

that the Templars discovered.

Let me guess.

Piri Reis probably
a Templar?

Well, he, certainly,
came out of that tradition.

You got to remember he was
in Constantinople right

where the Brothers of the East
were, right where the Templar

order was secretly founded.

And this was the center
of commerce at the time.

It was the center of the world.

And this is where information
was being brought back to.

The other thing that's really
interesting about the Templars,

something I've paid a lot of
attention to and studied myself

are these round churches
that were used for--

well I should call
them chapels, right.

Observatory chapels.

Yeah.

Laboratory astronomical
chapels that actually

were observatories that
were mapping the heavens.

And what we now
know is that there's

a system of churches on the
island of Bornholm in Denmark

in Europe that they have now
figured out by using long range

alignments in the heavens
to be able to calculate

the circumference of the Earth.

Now this may not
seem like a big deal.

But when you are
a Maritime culture

and you're traveling
on the ocean,

one of the most important
things you need to know

is how far is it
to my destination.

That'll allow you to plan
accordingly with food and water

and people, and it's going to
give you a tremendous advantage

over anyone else if you
know how big the Earth is

and how far away things are.

They also began to encounter
a number of different cultures

that most people in Europe at
the time had never encountered.

And these included groups like
the Druze, the...

There were Islamic sects
that were mystical in nature.

Now we would refer
to them as Sufi.

There were Druid
traditions, and there

were traditions within
Lebanon that were really

inheritors of
Phoenician traditions

and Canaanite traditions.

And in their associations
with these groups

and in their travels in
Egypt, there was one thing

that they found amongst
them all that was secretly

being passed down, and it
was this science that we now

refer to as alchemy.

Alchemy.

Yeah, and we know now,
especially you find this

in Egypt at places like Abydos,
where the Templars set up

headquarters.

They also set up
commanderies at Philae,

at Dendera, at Edfu and a number
of different places in Egypt.

But particularly, at
Abydos and even at Luxor

itself and Karnak,
there are depictions

of alchemical processes.

And in particular, there's
depictions of these arks,

and there's depictions
of the manna.

That manna putting in
there was the catalyst

for the ark to
work, and this manna

had to be made alchemically.

When it was produced--

How do you make manna?

What does it come from?

Well, it comes from
just about everything,

but you have to be able to
calcinate it down and then

extract it out of the ashes.

We're going to pour that
ashy lye into this to filter.

Make sure the pH
is nice and high.

I'm going to add an acid to it,
taking something from above 12,

and we're dropping it down.

You can see there's
stuff starting to form.

We're going to do this eight
times just to clean it.

So it becomes this
self-contained atom

that it becomes
completely captured,

and it doesn't
bind with anything.

And this was the moment.

You could also convert
certain platinum metals

into manna, which we
believe this is really

what Moses was
doing when he burned

the Golden calf into a
white powder and to feed

to the wandering Hebrews.

But it was an allegorical
reference to the alchemical

science that he was performing,
but it had to be veiled.

Absolutely.

And we see this depiction
on the Egyptian temple walls

as well of where the
pharaoh was being

fed these cakes that looked
like they were cone shapes.

And they're usually depicted
right next to these ark boxes,

and they're being fed to the
pharaoh as this special food

that kept him
healthy and that they

were being stored
in these arks, which

generated the electricity.

But let's go
back for a second.

I want to understand exactly how
does manna work inside the ark

to create this power cell.

So what this manna is,
it's platinum metals

that are in a monoatomic state.

So what that means
is each atom doesn't

bind with the other
atoms, and it does this

because it's in a high
spin state, what's

known as a high
spin state, the two

outer electrons and the
atom enter into what's

known as a Cooper pair.

And when they do that, they
go into this high spin state.

They're completely captured
by the nucleus of the atom,

and they don't bind
with the other atoms,

like, they normally would.

When this happens, they enter
into a superconductive state,

and it just so
happens that when you

have a container full of
manna, these monoatomic atoms

if you subjected to a
very weak electrostatic

or electromagnetic field--

The spark if you will.

The spark, it ends up causing
the container filled with manna

to weigh less than the same
container filled with nothing.

So there's an anti-gravity
effect that's--

A levitation effect.

Levitation effect.

And this is the reason
why the ark in the Bible

is guarded by the Levites
from which we get the word

levitation later on and that two
Levites could carry these arks

with rods even though the
amount of gold and acacia wood

that was put into
building these arks

would have caused the ark
to weigh several tons.

But two people could carry
it as long as it had a charge

and as long as these
monoatomic atoms,

this manna was inside of it.

OK, so what you're saying is
they basically had the ability

with manna when it was super
charged to cause things

to levitate.

Could this be the secret to
the massive megalithic blocks

that we find all over the world
that have been cut and placed.

And seemingly it is
impossible that any humans

with the technology
that we thought

they had in the
distant past actually

could have been moved this way.

Yeah, we think so.

In fact, it's even possible
that they may have just taken

one of these arks,
bound it to the stone,

and then that helped to cause
the weightlessness of the stone

itself.

So at that point, then
they could move the stones

any way they needed to.

As the Templars started
discovering these things

and figuring how it worked, they
realized this was a technology

that it was godlike power.

So they knew if these
fell into the wrong hands,

they could be abused.

And so at this
point the Templars

had a strong mission
to move these arks

and these other artifacts out
of the areas of Jerusalem,

of Egypt, and other
areas, move them

through Lebanon into places like
Portugal, France, ultimately,

Scotland and then
from there move it on

over to the Americas,
which they had,

of course, by this point
had already been mapping

and knew about.

They knew all about it.

Well, let's just talk
about the elephant

in the room to this whole
plan that the Templars had,

and that's the Roman
Catholic Church, right.

And it brings to mind
their strategy was

something analogous to
keep your friends close.

Keep your enemies closer.

And I think really
that's exactly what

was going on at least for
the Templar leadership.

And by aligning with the
church and giving them

the impression that
they were on their side

was what allowed them to
have the freedom that they

did to round this stuff up with
the ultimate plan of bringing

it to North America.

And I agree with you.

I think that's exactly
what was going on.

And the Templars would
throw the church a bone.

Every once in a
while, the Templars

were responsible for
starting to build

the cathedrals for the church.

But even on the cathedrals,
they tried to carve and preserve

this information much
like the Egyptians had

done in earlier times.

So even to this day, there's
Pythagorean concepts,

Gnostic concepts,
alchemical information.

You go to the front doors
of Notre Dame Cathedral,

for example, there's a
series of plate medallions

that show all the stages
of the alchemical process.

Well, this is part of
what the Templars were

trying to preserve.

They also brought
over iconography.

For example, the Templar
headquarters at Philae in Egypt

was the Temple of Isis.

And in this Temple of Isis
not only on the temple walls

but also on the altars, there
were these black basalt statues

of the goddess Isis nursing
the young child Horus.

Which is identical to images
of Mother Mary nursing Jesus.

That's exactly, right.

So the Templars brought
that iconography over.

They gave it a new facelift.

And to preserve
the memory of it,

they carved what were to
become known as the Black

Madonnas, which were this same
iconography but painted black,

so they looked like
the statues in Egypt,

and placed them in the
crypts under the cathedrals

that they were building.

So Tim, here's
what I think we have.

We go back to the time of
the Younger Dryas period.

Prior to that, we
had a high culture

that exists that preserved
ancient knowledge just

in case something happened.

And I don't think
it was just in case.

I think they knew something
catastrophic was coming.

I think Gobekli Tepe
being covered up

is a powerful piece of
evidence to support that.

And so they preserve
this information.

And the survivors of that
catastrophe lived on.

And eventually, the tradition,
the Templar tradition

starting around the year
1000 or just after acquired

this knowledge,
knew that they had

to form a Templar order
that would go in and align

with the Roman church,
go into Jerusalem,

round up the stuff
that they needed,

find that old hidden knowledge
and information, technology

that was left by the
Atlanteans, take that knowledge,

use it to acquire the strength,
the power to eventually bring

it over to North America.

Is that a decent synopsis?

Not only that, but they
wanted to re-establish

the Atlantean tradition in order
to recreate what had once been.

It had been lost but
now had been found.

So really Francis Bacon
was the one who wrote the new

Atlantis.

He was a Templar, and that
whole book that he wrote was,

specifically, an outline to
rebuild these technologies that

had been discovered
by the Templars.

So Francis Bacon, he was
in on the secret, wasn't he?

He was yeah.

And so what that means is
the United States of America is

the new Atlantis.

Absolutely.

I'm Scott Wolter.

And I'm Timothy Hogan.

And Thanks for watching
this episode of Mysteries

of the Knights Templar.
