As per
a new report published on the website of History Channel, the mystery of
Templers has sparked discussion with an English cave came into limelight. The
cave is engraved with some mysterious images that remind people of eight
hundred years old Templers and Holy Grail.
The
mystery is so intrigue that it has been dragging writers, historians and
scholars to unearth the truth. Writers, historians and explorers are so much of
obsessed with the mystery that in the first decade of twenty first century Dan
Brown gave a new twist to it by fictionalize in his famous book – The Da Vinci Code. And who can forget
the legendry Italian Writer Umbero Eco for his masterpiece – Foucault’s Pendulum that stunned the
reader with its thrilling unraveling of truth in fiction -
“Generation after
generation, from Walter Scott’s nineteenth-century romance ‘Ivanhoe’ to Umberto
Eco’s 1988 novel ‘Foucault’s Pendulum’ to the video game franchise ‘Assassin’s
Creed’, the Templars are portrayed as a strange, often shadowy and sometimes downright
evil organization, deathless and self-interested, guarding secrets and
treasure, and out to control the world.”[1]
Foucault’s Pendulum drags readers interested in searching the truth of Holy Grail and
Templers in fiction. Even more encouraging is the way academia responded to the
popular historical fiction.
