As confirmed by the Sufi Master and historian, Sayed Idries el-Hashimi (1924-1996 AD), known as “Idries Shah”, the Egyptian branch of Al-Banna Gnostic Sufis helped the first Templars with their archaeological findings from the Temple of Solomon. When the Sufis heard news of the Knights Templar excavating under Temple Mount, they immediately travelled from Egypt to Jerusalem to join the Knights. They knew that the Temple of Solomon was Pharaonic Egyptian, and that its esoteric secrets from the ancient Magi Priesthood would require initiated mastery to understand. They also knew its importance to Christianity, saying “You may have the Cross, but we have the meaning of the Cross.” The Egyptian Sufis extensively trained the first Knights Templar during their formative nine years of excavating the Temple of Solomon.
