>The Order claims continuity with the Knights Hospitaller, a chivalric order that was founded c. 1099 by the Blessed Gerard in the Kingdom of Jerusalem
These were the Knights of the Crusades.
The same knights that went back to Jerusalem and dug underneath the temple.
Documented pretty well that they found the bones of John the Baptist, documents I would call of the Phoenicians. (distillation device)
Very good parts of this book.
But they guard the pope the Templars of old.
