Very interesting & true Ivan. Phillip & Pope Clement were boyhood
friends & Phillip helped him become Pope by charging the presiding Pontiff with heresy. The same charge he would later use on the
Templars. Pope Clement did not rule from Rome, he was forced to stay in France. The gov't. of France was deeply in debt to the Templars so Phillip & Clement devised the heresy charge. Though
the charges were false, many were tortured. The Templar fleet of ships & supposedly more than 2/3 of the Knights escaped. The
most interesting part is when De Molay (head of the Templars)
was burned , he claimed he was innocent & vowed Philip & Clement
would die within a year, which came true. One more item of interest, the Shroud of Turin was discovered years later owned by
the family of the French knight burned at the stake with Jacque DeMolay. As treasure seekers ourselves, is there maybe some
truth to the Templars treasures?
