Rosslyn Chapel has fuelled controversy and debate, both recently in several best-selling books as well as in past centuries. Revered by Freemasons as a vital part of their history, believed by some to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Philip Coppens does write a fascinating book but leaves more questions than answers. I believe the book attempts to explain some of the mysteries and dispel some which seem to be more conspiracy theory and late mythology than fact. However, the puzzle of Roslyn Chapel still eludes us. There are too many unexplained symbols and designs in Roslyn. More so than are found in the great Gothic Cathedrals of Europe which I believe somehow are connected to a greater meaning and purpose. I however do believe that the Sinclair family having direct roots in Templar activities especially after the destruction of the Templars in France by the Roman Church and King Philip of France brought to Scotland information, possibly treasure of some type and information on the lineage of the continuing decadency of House of David which lives on today. I disagree with Mr. Coppens about the Chinese traveling the vast sea distances necessary to build a lighthouse in Rhode Island? There are several very detailed maps which were known before Columbus set sail for the western hemisphere. These maps have origins much earlier such as the Martin Behaim's map of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in Canada drawn in 1492 or the Toscanelli Map of 1474. Outside of this I would recommend this book as part of a larger selection of books covering the mysteries not only of Roslyn, the Templars but also the roots of spirituality derived from the use of the golden rule and golden number in Roslyn and the great cathedrals of Europe.
