the lost colony of the templars

The Templar Colony in America 

Standing next to the harbor of Newport, Rhode Island is a stone built round tower constructed before the wave of colonization by England. Called a grain mill and a tower it stood guard even when the Italian explorer Giovanni Verrazano arrived. Strategically placed windows and a second story fire place rule out its use as farm building. In fact, no known replica exists anywhere in the New World. 

In the Old World however numerous examples exist. The octagon within a circle was a Templar device carried from churches in Jerusalem and Damascus, to Italy, France, Portugal, England, Ireland, the Orkney Islands and even to Bornholm, a tiny island in the Baltic Sea regarded as the “Secret Island of the Templars”.

The construction was called a lavabo or baptistery, but basically the goal was the same, a place to cleanse away sin, to be born again. The eight sided structure, just like the base of baptismal fonts everywhere, gives hope that in Christ we are all born again. Eight is the number of infinity.   

Did the Templar structures conceal an even older knowledge? What has been called the myth of the Eternal Return is evident in stone structures in New Grange Ireland, in Maes Howe in the Orkneys, at Callanish in the Hebrides and most well known at Stonehenge. Exact proportions aligned to the movements of the sun and moon are more than stone calendars. They represent the religion of the ancients believing the sun and the earth are as man and woman, necessary to create life.  

Lost Colony of the Templars shows the evidence that such sacred geometry is present in the Newport Tower. This remarkable revelation smashes any theory of a colonial grain mill. The Tower’s placement on Verrazano’s Map as well as its designation of the area as Refugio leaves no doubt. The Templars intended and most likely founded a colony, however short-lived.  

Verrazano himself claimed to be on a mission to reach China yet explored neither the Chesapeake Bay or the Hudson River as others would. He stayed only in one place, his two weeks in Newport. He found what he was looking for, but the colony was gone.  

One more attempt would be made.
