Historical and speculative connections between Stephen II Henry de Blois, Count of Blois and Chartres, and the Ark of the Covenant are examined, leaving us wonder whether Stephen II Henry or the Templars might have acquired it.

Over the centuries many myths and legends have arisen pertaining to the Knights Templar, their quest for the Holy Grail, and that they may have found it. Yet, questions persist as to what the Grail may actually be.

Pepin III and Bertrada had a son named Charles II, aka Charles the Great aka Charlemagne, named after his grandfather, Charles Martel. Charlemagne was therefore ¾ Jewish and matrilineally in direct line of descent from King David. This has significant overlooked and unaddressed implications!

The rise of the Merovingians and the Church in Rome was deeply intertwined with the decline of the Roman Empire and the evolution of Christianity.

The Merovingian dynasty, founded by Merovech (born ca. 415 AD, died 458 AD), emerged as a powerful Frankish lineage in Gaul after the Western Roman Empire’s collapse, blending Gallo-Roman, Germanic, and Celtic traditions. he Merovingians ruled over modern-day France, Germany, and beyond, rising through strategic resistance against Rome’s decline.

Before Christianity reached Gaul, the region was inhabited by Celtic tribes guided by Druids, a professional class serving as religious, political, legal, and medical authorities. The Druids, active during the time of ancient Greece and Rome, taught the immortality and transmigration of the soul, a belief linked to Pythagorean doctrines.

Chartres, located 50 miles southwest of Paris on the Eure River, has a rich history rooted in its Celtic origins as a principal Druidic center named after the Carnutes tribe.

The origins and influence of Coptic saints begins with Ormus, an Egyptian Serapic priest who was converted by St. Mark around 42 AD, and blended ancient Persian, Egyptian, and Jewish wisdom with Christian principles to reform Egyptian doctrines, founding the Coptic Church in Alexandria. St. Mark, a North African Levite, established this church and the Catechetical School of Alexandria by the mid-second century.

The exilarches, leaders of the Jewish diaspora in Babylonia, trace their origins to the House of David and the Second Temple period. The nasi, head of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, emerged around 191 BC as a counterpart to the Babylonian exilarch. Both the exilarches and nasi were recognized by Romans and Jews as political and communal authorities.

Judaism has its early roots in Mesopotamia, where Semitic peoples like Abraham’s family originated around 2000 BC, through the Hebrew captivity in Egypt and the exodus to Canaan around 1600 BC, culminating in King David’s conquest of Jerusalem from the Jebusites around 1000 BC. During this time, Jewish communities emerged across the Levant and beyond.

Cutting to the chase, a fundamental question pertains to what we often refer to as the Templar treasure: What is it and what happened to it? The Templar treasure is presumed to involve artifacts that the Templars recovered in Jerusalem, specifically the Ark of the Covenant and treasures of the First Temple of Solomon. Ok. This evokes another question: Why were the Ark and artifacts from the First Temple of Solomon presumed as important to the Templars?

Prior to their exodus, the Israelites were kept in captivity in Egypt for roughly 430 years. During that captivity the Israelites were immersed in Egyptian culture, religious customs, practices, and deities as part of their subjugation. Yes, they venerated the vague unnamed god of Abraham, but they were not yet monotheistic.

Egyptian influences on the Ark of the Covenant, suggest that the Israelites, immersed in Egyptian culture during their 430-year captivity, incorporated Egyptian religious and architectural elements into its design.

Moses was one of the greatest biblical patriarchs and leaders, but he wasn’t liked or well accepted. Why?

The emerald-green stones were ripped away from Kingu, came into the possession of ancient Man, and allegedly the Knights Templar as alluded to as the Holy Grail by Chrétien de Troyes in Perceval, le Conte du Graal, described by Wolfram von Eschenbach as the “lapsit exillis”, the stone of exile in Parzival, which is further elaborated as a “lapis ex coelis” (heavenly stone) by Julius Evola in The Mystery of the Grail.

The essence of primal theology is veneration of a “Divine Feminine”. This “god-goddess” was androgynous, meaning it possessed both male and female attributes, could change gender as needed, and reproduce via parthenogenesis. Many ancient cultures across the globe allude to this Divine Feminine god-goddess in their creation stories as the progenitor of their pantheon of deities.

Every once in a while, researchers and writers hit a brick wall or get tangled up in bob wire. Their ability to find a solution or their creative thinking process comes to a screeching halt. It happens mostly when we’re trying too hard, thinking about it too much. Then again, sometimes “life” happens, there’s too much on our plate, and all our plans go awry. Have you ever had that happen?

What am I working on?
