Rosslyn Chapel

...

the, the, there's a place in Scotland, I don't know if you two are aware of it, called, um, Rosslyn Chapel.

Have you heard of that?

I've heard of it.

Yeah, me neither.

Well, it's j- it's, it's, it's just outside of Edinburgh, and, um, we, and there's a lot of interesting Tartarian architecture in Edinburgh, like, you wouldn't believe.

And, um, I've been turned away from Rosslyn Chapel twice.

And when you go to Rosslyn, it's a very powerful place.

This whole idea about Rosslyn being central to the story of the Templar treasure really only gained traction in the 1980s with the publication of a bestseller called Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and then 20 years later, of course, The Da Vinci Code.

Rosslyn Chapel is actually the final setting for the closing chapter of The Da Vinci Code.

This is where the entire conspiracy comes unraveled, where it is realized that the Holy Grail is in fact not located at Rosslyn Chapel, but the Holy Grail actually represents Mary Magdalene herself.

The Da Vinci Code is a really compelling story, but I think we need to, to remember it is ultimately fiction.

But even if Rosslyn Chapel doesn't hold the treasure itself, could it hold the key to where it is now?

One of the images that appears in stone at Rosslyn are ears of corn.

You may think that's unspectacular, but what you've gotta remember is that corn didn't arrive in Europe until Christopher Columbus got to the Americas in 1492, and crops that had never been seen before suddenly arrived in Europe.

So how does the Sinclair family, when they're building Rosslyn Chapel in the 1450s, decades before Columbus gets to America, how do they know about corn? So consider this.

The Sinclairs were renowned warriors and loyal supporters of the Bruce cause, and their name would endure through the centuries.

Centuries later, their descendants would build Roslyn Chapel, the magnificent structure that still stands today, known to millions through modern culture and legend.

But in 1330, the Sinclairs were simply faithful companions, willing to follow James Douglas to the Holy Land itself.

With them came William Keith of Galston, Robert and Walter Logan, Sir Alan Cathcart and Simon Lockard of Leigh near Lanark.

It's like there's a big difference between those two things, isn't it? And at the end of the day, they're all God's creations and we should be, I just want to know the truth.

But, you know, there's a place in Scotland, I don't know if you two are aware of it, called Roslyn Chapel.

You heard of that? I've heard of it.

I've heard of it, yes.

Don't know much about it.

Well, it's just outside of Edinburgh and there's a lot of interesting Tartarian architecture in Edinburgh like you wouldn't believe.

And I've been turned away from Roslyn Chapel twice.

And when you go to Roslyn, it's a very powerful place.
