The
Priory
vowed
that
no
matter
how
long
it
took
,
these
documents
must
be
recovered
from
the
rubble
beneath
the
temple
and
protected
forever
,
so
the
truth
would
never
die
.
In
order
to
retrieve
the
documents
from
within
the
ruins
,
the
Priory
created
a
military
arm
–
a
group
of
nine
knights
called
the
Order
of
the
Poor
Knights
of
Christ
and
the
Temple
of
Solomon
.
»
Langdon
paused
.
«
More
commonly
known
as
the
Knights
Templar
.
»
Sophie
glanced
up
with
a
surprised
look
of
recognition
.
Langdon
had
lectured
often
enough
on
the
Knights
Templar
to
know
that
almost
everyone
on
earth
had
heard
of
them
,
at
least
abstractedly
.
For
academics
,
the
Templars
’
history
was
a
precarious
world
where
fact
,
lore
,
and
misinformation
had
become
so
intertwined
that
extracting
a
pristine
truth
was
almost
impossible
.
Nowadays
,
Langdon
hesitated
even
to
mention
the
Knights
Templar
while
lecturing
because
it
invariably
led
to
a
barrage
of
convoluted
inquiries
into
assorted
conspiracy
theories
.
Sophie
already
looked
troubled
.
«
You
’
re
saying
the
Knights
Templar
were
founded
by
the
Priory
of
Sion
to
retrieve
a
collection
of
secret
documents
?
I
thought
the
Templars
were
created
to
protect
the
Holy
Land
.
»
«
A
common
misconception
.
The
idea
of
protection
of
pilgrims
was
the
guise
under
which
the
Templars
ran
their
mission
.
Their
true
goal
in
the
Holy
Land
was
to
retrieve
the
documents
from
beneath
the
ruins
of
the
temple
.
»
«
And
did
they
find
them
?
»
Langdon
grinned
.
«
Nobody
knows
for
sure
,
but
the
one
thing
on
which
all
academics
agree
is
this
:
The
Knights
discovered
something
down
there
in
the
ruins
…
something
that
made
them
wealthy
and
powerful
beyond
anyone
’
s
wildest
imagination
.
»
Langdon
quickly
gave
Sophie
the
standard
academic
sketch
of
the
accepted
Knights
Templar
history
,
explaining
how
the
Knights
were
in
the
Holy
Land
during
the
Second
Crusade
and
told
King
Baldwin
II
that
they
were
there
to
protect
Christian
pilgrims
on
the
roadways
.
Although
unpaid
and
sworn
to
poverty
,
the
Knights
told
the
king
they
required
basic
shelter
and
requested
his
permission
to
take
up
residence
in
the
stables
under
the
ruins
of
the
temple
.
King
Baldwin
granted
the
soldiers
’
request
,
and
the
Knights
took
up
their
meager
residence
inside
the
devastated
shrine
.
The
odd
choice
of
lodging
,
Langdon
explained
,
had
been
anything
but
random
.
The
Knights
believed
the
documents
the
Priory
sought
were
buried
deep
under
the
ruins
–
beneath
the
Holy
of
Holies
,
a
sacred
chamber
where
God
Himself
was
believed
to
reside
.
Literally
,
the
very
center
of
the
Jewish
faith
.
For
almost
a
decade
,
the
nine
Knights
lived
in
the
ruins
,
excavating
in
total
secrecy
through
solid
rock
.
