The Second Messiah

Jaques de Molay was born in 1244, became a Templar in 1265 and Grand Master in 1297; the Templars regarded themselves as the guardians of the secret teachings of Jesus. In 1307 Molay was arrested at the instigation of the Pope, who was alarmed at the spread of this influence and was crucified. Using the latest scientific techniques, the prove that the shroud Molay was wrapped in is the one now known as the Turin Shroud.

Wip marks show the crucified man was not Jesus.		'We could see that the general direction of the (blood)flow was along the arm from the wrist to the elbow. We conducted a simple experiment to see what position the arms might have been in (...) This process gave us two possible results, neither of which resembled the Roman technique of crucifixion in which the arms were stretched out sideways to cause great breathing difficulties to the victim.'
Tests demosntrate the crucified person was laid on a soft bed and for this matter, was not dead.		'Carbon dating has conclusively shown that the Shroud of Turin dates from between 1260 and 1380, precisely as we would expect if it were the image of Jacques de Molay. There is no other known theory that fits the scientifically established facts. Through experimentation, we know that the figure on the Shroud was in a soft bed of some kind, which strongly suggests that the victim was not dead and was expected to recover.'
