The Templar Knight Who Vanished Without a Trace

A Templar courier vanishes in a storm. His horse returns riderless—and his name is erased.
This film follows the trail of Arnaud de Rochefort through sealed archives, forbidden relics, and a ledger kings feared.

What you’ll learn: the truth behind the “stricken from records” order, the rumored relic Ignis Dei, the Paris tunnel inscriptions (Lux occulta custodita), Vatican seizures, the Poitiers grave and DNA link, the cross-within-star sigil, and whether a westbound escape rewrote history.
