Legend has it that the Knights together hid vast treasures in the Middle East. The treasure is estimated to be worth $1 billion, prompting many treasure hunters to scramble to find the treasure’s location.

Born after the First Crusade (1095 – 1099), the Knights Templar became an important force in society as they protected Christians from the West on their journey to the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

To protect the pilgrims, a French knight named Hugh de Paine and eight knights formed an army called the Poor Knights of King Solomon in 1118. Later, they decided to change their name to Knights Templar.

It is an invincible army that plays a major role in turning the tide of every battle.

For their results, the knights were awarded gold, silver, jewels or rich countries in the royal courts of European countries such as France, England, Spain…

In addition, they are exempt from any taxes, including church taxes paid to the priests. Thus the Knights Templar became one of the most prosperous organizations of the Middle Ages.

The wealth of the Knights Templar is immeasurable, their money is kept in many banks throughout Europe. However, despite their wealth, the Knights always follow their vow to live frugally and simply.

In the year In 1312, when the Knights Templar flourished and became a great power trusted and supported by the people, European kings and royal families were wary, afraid. To quell the danger, the Knights Templar were accused of heresy, brutally tortured and executed.

The man behind the fall of the Templars is believed to be King Philip IV of France, known as the Fair.

According to historical records, this king had a large loan to the Knights Templar organization to pay for the war against England, and he also looked after the organization’s assets. Using the investigation, Philip “takes it upon himself” to investigate the Knights Templar.

Thanks to this act, King Philip freed himself from the debt of the Knights Templar organization and took possession of their wealth.

However, less than a year after King Philip’s assassination, he died on November 29, 1314, unable to enjoy his newfound wealth.

Some lucky knights who escaped death took the vast wealth accumulated over two centuries and secretly buried it in the Middle East. The estimated wealth of the Knights Templar is 1 billion dollars.

Over the years, many people have searched for the whereabouts of the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar. One view is that Israel may be where the treasure is hidden because this is said to be the last place the knights were seen.

In addition, potential locations for countless treasures range from Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland to Oak Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the remote Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.

However, one thing is for sure, the Knights Templar treasure hunters are sure to be very busy in the near future.

However, to this day, the Knights Templar’s “enormous” wealth is still an undiscovered mystery.
