Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, met his fiery end in Paris in 1314. More than two centuries earlier, in 1098, Basil the Physician, leader of the Bogomils, suffered a similar fate in Constantinople. Both men were condemned as heretics by the Christian Church.

Could a thread connect these two events, separated by time but united in their accusations of heresy?

Some suggest that the Knights Templar's meteoric rise – and ultimate fall – was tied to a profound secret, something ancient and deeply unsettling to the established Church. The symbol of this mystery may well be Baphomet, the enigmatic head-idol the Templars were accused of worshipping.

This secret, whether rooted in ancient theological disputes or hidden Gnostic knowledge, represented a clash between light and darkness. It's a mystery that survived through the Gothic cathedrals, etched into their stone as if to pass down the secret's shadowy legacy to future generations.
