Zohar Ancient History argues that the Knights Templar survived their persecution inside a hidden current, and that Leonardo da Vinci belonged to it. The film’s claim about the Shroud of Turin is that he fixed an early light image onto the linen and left his own likeness there as a signature. Rose windows on cathedral plans become a later rose cross, and the Rosicrucian manifestos are treated as the same underground push, carrying alchemy and Hermetic teaching out of the Holy Land. After the arrests, Scotland is said to have kept lodge minutes and the square and compass, so Freemasonry could spread. In Portugal the men are renamed the Knights of Christ, tied here to the country’s name and to sailors such as Vasco da Gama. Bacon’s New Atlantis, whose leader wears a red cross, is read as a memory of older technology. The narration says Noah’s flood is the disaster that ended Atlantis, and that the lodges kept both birthright freedom and a practical art for rebuilding.
Key points
- Leonardo is presented as a member of a hidden Templar network, working in code as well as in public art and science.
- The Shroud of Turin is claimed as his photographic experiment, with his own face used for the image.
- Rose windows, Rosicrucian texts, and Masonic tools are treated as later carriers of Templar symbols and of Near Eastern mysteries.
- Scotland is credited with saving lodge practice, and the York Rite with still knighting members as Templars.
- Portugal’s Knights of Christ are identified as the order under a new name, tied to exploration and to the name of the country.
- Bacon, Newton, and a Noah flood that ended Atlantis are drawn into the same story of preserved rights and rebuilding knowledge.
