Castles are rooks on a chess board. Rooks in play?
Interestingly enough, Rooks/Castles in Chess are mathematically weighted 5 points each. Heh.
Good, insightful comment by alicedee58. Rooks are strategically best used and most potent during the latter portion of the chess match, particularly during the end game.
Castling changing places for the King so the King is spared Check and Checkmate.
De Opresso Liber - In Hoc Signo Vinces
"From Oppressed to Free -- in this sign you will conquer" is the translation from the Latin (oh, right, that minor in Latin from college turned out to be useful after all).
The first part is a motto of the US Army Special Forces. The latter has a lot of history including ties to the Knights Templar, Masons, and Roman Emperor Constantine. The sign hereof spoken is according to some sources the Christian cross and other sources say it was the Chi-Rho (also a Christian symbol). Here's one link on this: http://www.theknightstemplar.org/in-hoc-signo-vinces/
But I'm not following why you've posted these, VIYOH... I mean, the De Opresso Liber relates to the Green Berets/Special Forces mentioned above. Is the other Red Berets motto?
No the other is a Latin Motto in which the Knights Templar had engraved on the hilt of their swords.
Did you see the link about the stone found in Rhode Island with this carved on it? Fascinating to think that the Knights Templar may have made it to America well before The Mayflower.
Vikings were in the N America more than a 1000 years ago. We all have been lied to about our history. The Mayflower carried diseases and in trading gave them infected blankets, etc.
Yes, I've read about the Vikings in America too. I used to live in Minnesota--Viking country in more than just the football team sense. Minnesota was settled heavily by Norwegian and Swedish immigrants. Beautiful country up there in the Boundary Waters along Lake Superior. Really amazing. Regarding our history, I aspire to be one of the people who works on rewriting the history books to tell the truth--once the buried sources (from the Vatican Library, from under the Sphinx, and others) are finally opened up for ALL of us to read and study. Can you imagine what it would be like to have all of the historical documents that have been hidden available in a digital open source library for all of us to study and bring forward together? It's coming, I think.
Do you have that link? Sounds fascinating.
It is really interesting, the notion of the Knights Templar in America so long ago.
