Templars in America

The Secret Legacy of Voyages to America Before Columbus

By: Tim Wallace-Murphy, Marilyn Hopkins, Scott F. Wolter - foreword

Narrated by: Polly Lee

Templars in America reveals the story of two leading European Templar families who combined forces to create a new commonwealth in America nearly a century before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Henry St. Clair of the Orkney Islands, then part of Normandy, and Carlo Zeno, a Venetian trader, made peaceful and mutually beneficial contact with the Mi'kmaq people of what is now Canada. Proof of their travels is carved in stone on both sides of the Atlantic and can be found in documentary evidence borne out by a strong oral tradition that has withstood the test of time. Historians Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins draw on archival and archaeological evidence to prove the Templar voyage. They then demonstrate how this early contact with the Americas ties into the centuries-long development of the Templars and Freemasonry, which in turn shaped the thinking of the founding fathers—and the American Constitution.

Wallace-Murphy and Hopkins also reveal the continuous history of American exploration from the time of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, through the age of the Vikings. Templars in America is a wild ride from the golden age of exploration to the founding of the United States.

New insights haven’t heard before.

It’s a little slow to start, lots of genealogies up front, it does have some good information and a good case for people way before Columbus who landed here. I was disappointed when near the end, I was lectured by the woke academia folks of the evils of settlers, climate change,overpopulation, etc….
