Bronze Age Echos and the Templars.




 I just read an item that connected a few dots.  When the Templars were put down, the then Potuguese king declined and created a refugia for them.  under stand that the central asset belonging to the Templars was the Atlantic trade rout which operated in a circle from lisbon to the Bahamas, Georgia for Brass, and back to Lewis and down to Gastonbury for tin and back to Lisbon.  

any mony belonging to the order was out on loan to whoever and land was easy to grab.  Thus liquidity was tied up in shippping.  obviously Lisbon was the anchor.  This also explains why a century later  Columbis was forced to go to the Castillians for patronage.  The Portugese  certainly knew and worked around this problem themselves.

If able seaman Columbis was at Gastonbury or Bristal then when the metal fleet came in and he took passage to lisborn, it would be obvious that he was on a leg of an established route.  The volume would be too large to explain.


Obviously it was in the interest of these Templars to protect the Portugese and they were present at this battle in 1388.  and then we have Henry the Navigator.


The take home is that we have extant instituional infrastructure right where they need to be.  And do not forget Bimini and the brass mines in Georgia. The rest of the Bronze Age trade system collapsed in 1159 BC or over fifteen hundred years before.leaving this anchor route.


Certainly explains why columbis had a templar cross on his ship.
