Holy Grail Across The Atlantic : The Secret Of Canadian Discovery And Exploration

An exploration of theories linking the Holy Grail and the medieval Knights Templar with the early history of Atlantic Canada and New France. Bradley and Thielmann-Bean examine traditions surrounding the fall of Montségur, the survival of the Grail legends, Oak Island's "Money Pit," Samuel de Champlain's explorations, and the founding of Montreal, arguing that these events formed part of a concealed historical tradition extending from medieval Europe to North America. Drawing on historical sources, maps, folklore, and Grail literature, the authors present an interpretation of Canadian exploration and settlement that places established historical records alongside alternative historical and esoteric traditions.
