Does the remote Baltic island of Bornholm hold the key to an ancient secret A secret that links it to the enigmatic village of Rennes-le-Chateau in the French Pyrennes and the tunnels beneath Mount Sion in Jerusalem What is its connection with the Templar Knights, and what were they trying to hide on such a distant isle THE TEMPLARS' SECRET ISLAND is a journey of awe-inspiring breadth and complexity, a journey that spans Europe and reaches into ancient Palestine, that first takes us thousands of years into the past and then back to our own time. It is a journey that casts new light on some of the most important enigmas of modern science.
The authors' collaboration began when Erling Haagensen, born on Bornholm, was beginning to find the strange truth of his island home and contacted Henry Lincoln who had already produced three books and three documentary films which had provided the first glimpse of the facts which were underlying the story.
Henry Lincoln is a highly-respected historian and broadcaster. His previous books include the worldwide bestselling The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
