Traces the movement of the Templars’ secret treasure across North America to where it still resides; protected by a sacred lineage of guardians• Explains how the Templars found refuge with Native American tribes; intermarrying with the Natives to continue the Holy Bloodline and further the lineage of guardians needed to protect their treasure and secrets• Reveals new evidence for the existence of Templar settlements and monuments across North America and how these reactivate the continent’s sacred rose lines• Pinpoints the exact location of the Templar/Holy Bloodline treasureMany have searched for the lost treasure of the Knights Templar; most famously at Oak Island. But what if the treasure wasn’t lost? What if this treasure--necessary to sanctify the Temple of Solomon and create a New Jerusalem--was moved through the centuries and protected by a sacred lineage of guardians; descendants of Prince Henry Sinclair and the Native American tribes who helped him?Drawing on his access as Grand Archivist of the Knights Templar of Canada and his own role as a descendant of both Sinclair and the Anishinabe/Algonquin tribe; William Mann examines new evidence of the Knights Templar in the New World long before Columbus and their mission to protect the Holy Bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. He reveals the secret settlements they built as they moved westward across the vast wilderness of North America; evading the European Church and Royal Houses. He explains how the Templars found refuge in the Sacred Medicine Lodges of the Algonquins; whose ceremonies and rituals bear striking resemblance to the initiations of Freemasonry. He reveals the strategic intermarriages that took place between the Natives and the Templars; furthering the Holy Bloodline and continuing the lineage of blood-guardians. The author explores how Sinclair’s journey from Nova Scotia across America also served to reactivate the sacred rose lines of North America through the building of “rose castles†and monuments; including the Newport Tower and the Kensington Rune Stone. Pinpointing the exact location of the Templar treasure still hidden in North America; the author also reveals the search for Templar sanctuaries to be the chief motivation behind the Lewis and Clark expedition and the murder of Meriwether Lewis.

It tells of a journey of exploration that went wrong; of rescues that were inept; and other treks that went off like clockwork - all woven into a well-told tale.Most such stories fall into one of two categories: Follies dripping with ineptness; irony and tragedy (such as Scott's fatal expedition to the South Pole); or well-planned and executed journeys that are practically dull and boring in their expert execution (Amundsen's successful "first" to the South Pole). "Cooper's Creek" has both - and more.In 1860-61 an expedition northwards from Melbourne across the largely unknown interior to the north coast of Australia ended with the deaths of three of the four explorers that had made the final dash. The fourth lived due to rescue by the local natives (the "black gentlemen"). The outcome was made more dramatic and tragic because men of the base depot upon whom the four depended had returned south one day before the exploring party returned.There are dozens of "what ifs" that could have changed the outcome. These (along with the interplay between individuals and supporters) make this book as much a mystery or detective story as a tale of adventure. It is also both interesting and tragic to read of these outsiders suffering and dying as they trek through groups of black gentlemen who have mastered the country. You can't but wonder to what extent the explorers seeming contempt of the native Australians must have; in the end; turned to admiration.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Challenging and Tragic Early Exploration in the Australian OutbackBy Steven LedbetterI've been a staunch admirer of Alan Moorehead's best-known books about the exploration of little-known areas of the world (The Blue Nile and The White Nile) for many years. Happily I discovered that he had written a book about the dangerous and ultimately deadly attempt to fill in the map of the center of Australia soon after the middle of the 19th century; and I discovered it shortly before leaving for a trip to Australia; so the timing could not have been more perfect. The expedition seemed at first to have been very well planned; but human failings; misunderstandings; ego; arrogance; bad weather; and some singularly unfortunate decisions that were not in themselves bad ones and were fully in character ultimately led to tragegy. The center of Australia--a hot; waterless desert much of the year; inhabited by Aborigines; with whom the white settlers so far had very little connection--could hardly be more different than the Nile valley and the heavily populated jungles of East Africa that were the settings of the two earlier books; yet as before Moorehead combines an account of the almost superhuman exertions of the party to survive and the interaction of personalities that made the chances so risky. One does not need to be crossing the Australian outback to be captivated by the book; though it is a gripping companion for such an experience. But; as always; Moorehead reveals the strengths and weaknesses of men in a very challenging situation; and makes it compulsively readable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Australia's early explorationBy terryThe early days of Australian discovery are in many ways similar to the extreme conditions encountered by Lewis and Clarke with a few exceptions. Australian explorers had to deal with impossible heat; little water and inconsistent support from the Australian government and the exploration society that was supposed to be backing them; Food supplies were often scarce and subsistence living hit or miss.This is a fascinating; detailed account of the courageous group of marginally experienced explorers who set out to find potential arable land for future settlers and to explore the vast outback. Despite the experience of the group's leaders; most of the group died in the effort. This detailed account is taken from journals and first hand reports of the few survivors and tells of the daily fight for survival in a hostile land.
