Holy Grail Vandals? Here's the beginning of a conspiricy theory: Could the reason "A gang of youths climbed on top of The Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough Hall and smashed ornamental sea shells at about 1500 BST on Tuesday" be linked to the fact that "Experts were called in recently to examine an inscription on the 250-year-old monument rumoured to reveal the location of the Holy Grail"? If so, then who were the vandals? The Knights Templar?

  • I don't know why it is so difficult for people to accept the boring, pragmatic fact that philip IV shut the Templars down due to money. they were the largest banking institution in medieval europe and many monarches owed them huge sums of money...duh! that said, I have long been enthralled with this particular conspiracy theory, its just so fun...
