Warriors-beasts... There is a certain subconscious appeal in the tales of these warriors possessed by battle madness. The origins of their military witchcraft and werewolf magic lie in the most ancient layers of religious beliefs and human history. Who were they? What was the secret of their invulnerability and invincibility? How and why did they turn from the elite of the military class into socially dangerous elements? You will learn about this from the new book by Wolfgang Akunov, published in the series “Documents and materials of the ancient and modern history of the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem,” for it was among the ancient warrior-beasts that the future knighthood arose, whose archetype became the Templars - the knights of the Order of the Poor Companions of Christ and Solomon's Temple.
