Forensic geologist Scott Wolter investigates the mysterious legacy of the Knights Templar, from their official recognition in 1129 to their brutal suppression in 1307. This documentary explores the theory that the Templars guarded the secret of a holy bloodline, using the "Hooked X" and other coded symbols to preserve their knowledge. From debunking modern hoaxes in Pennsylvania to exploring ancient commanderies in France, we uncover the hidden history of the men who may have brought the world's most explosive secret to North America centuries before Columbus.
