Product Description

Product Description

Does the remote Baltic island of Bornholm hold the key to an ancient secret? A secret that links it to the enigmatic village of Rennes-le-Chateau in the French Pyrennes and the tunnels beneath Mount Sion in Jerusalem? What is its connection with the Templar Knights, and what were they trying to hide on such a distant isle? THE TEMPLARS' SECRET ISLAND is a journey of awe-inspiring breadth and complexity, a journey that spans Europe and reaches into ancient Palestine, that first takes us thousands of years into the past and then back to our own time. It is a journey that casts new light on some of the most important enigmas of modern science.

About the Author

The authors' collaboration began when Erling Haagensen, born on Bornholm, was beginning to find the strange truth of his island home and contacted Henry Lincoln who had already produced three books and three documentary films which had provided the first glimpse of the facts which were underlying the story. Henry Lincoln is a highly-respected historian and broadcaster. His previous books include the worldwide bestselling The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well researched and inspirational read, 9 May 2001
This review is from: The Templars' Secret Island: The Knights, The Priest And The Treasure (Hardcover)
Having visited Bornholm and met one of the authors just before the book was published whilst researching wider Templar influence in Scandinavia, I can say the book was well worth the wait. The exceptional work done by Haagensen on the sacred geometry and layout of the Bornholm churches is an good example of the way such theories should be presented, backed up with hard academic facts.

There are some ascertains made that I feel are not accurate but then this is still an emerging area of history and takes nothing from the 'story' and exciting discoveries made. All of which add another piece to the most intriguing of all puzzles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Assured of another great read!, 12 April 2000
By steve@templartreasure.com (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Templars' Secret Island: The Knights, The Priest And The Treasure (Hardcover)
As a longtime fan of the work of Henry Lincoln (Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Key to the Pattern, Holy Place) I look forward to another great read. Henry Lincoln has for many changed the concept of the past and even the expectations of the future. By unearthing the medieval secrets of the Knights Templar, he has opened a Pandora's Box to a trove of knowlege. The Templars somehow broke the monopoly that the Church and certain secret brotherhoods held over the secrets of the ancients. They too kept the secrets but in a tradition of an ancient elite added new clues, often hidden in plain sight. Now Lincoln and Haagensen break the hold that even these elite sacred groups had. Templar churches in England, in Scotland, in Bornholm, in Portugal are just part of the clues. It is my own theory that the so-called Viking Tower (aka the "Norman Villa") in Rhode Island too may be linked. I eagerly await The Templars Secret Island.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it truly was a great read, 31 Jan 2001
By Hrorvendel (Copenhagen, DK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Templars' Secret Island: The Knights, The Priest And The Treasure (Hardcover)
...even more convincing, less intricate and mysterious than the Rennes-le-Chateau story outlined in the author's (Lincoln) "Key to the Sacred Pattern". Most of these facts, including the two most important, The Templars in Denmark and the Baltic and the incredible accurateness of the placing of the four round churches on the isle of Bornholm, have, of course, been known to historians as well as land surveyers all along, but deliberately put down as romanticism and coincidence bad for the public's mental health. There is an obvious german link to the baltic crusades not gone into in this work, which has found a kind of norwegian counterpart in Harald Sommerstedt Boehlke's: The Norwegian Pentagram, published by Eutopia, Norway.
