The Knights Templar & Magnetic Airships (Lost Prototype of The Passarola, 1709)

Howdy ya’ll. Today we will cover a magnificent tale spanning from The Knights Templar through the invention of lighter than air travel. This story will involve magnets, the physics of nature, dirigibles, a phoenix flying through the skies over 315 years ago, and the only surviving record of it coming from the archives of the Order of Christ. This is a fraternal, often secretive organization, itself a surviving offshoot of the Knights Templar, who were persecuted, disbanded, and stripped of their lands on Friday October 13th, 1307. Could the radical airship of 1709, with information rediscovered in 1786, be a remnant of an even earlier advanced civilization, one which could have been well known by the crusaders of the Knights Templar, and may have been one of the nefarious reasons for their downfall?
