Hello to all
Unfortunately I have no information on the numerous codes and symbols just some info on the Templars and hospitals in Syria and Turkey
The Templar castles in Syria:
KRAK: In Plain Bouqua?a is Alawite mountains. The krak, Citadel flagship of Frankish Syria, is shaped like an aircraft carrier in stone. We're almost midway between Aleppo and Damascus. The geographical position of krak, control and locks the coastline and the road to Jerusalem.
In the chapter room where there sat the Knights, an inscription in Latin: "That wealth, wisdom and beauty you are given, but beware of the pride which contaminates everything else."
Marqab (Margat), or Tartus Tortosa, Castle Sa?ne (Sahyun, Citadel of Salah ad-Din), known since 1957 Saladin Castle, Chastel Blanc (Safitha), Arima (Areim?), Chastel Red (Qal'at Yahmur).
The Templar fortresses in Turkey:
In the province of Hatay, about 75 km north of Hatay (Antioch).
Built on a rock isolated castle Trapesac defended the pass north of Belen, while Gaston was controlling the south.
Pass Trapesac also allow direct access from Antioch to Aleppo, avoiding around the lake 'QMA.
The Castle of St. Peter will be erected from 1402 to the location of Ottoman fortress, itself built on the acropolis of the Carian city of Halicarnassus. The builders, who work for more than a century, will use the large green stones of the mausoleum of Halicarnassus destroyed by an earthquake. Several tours will be added during this period.
The Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes was elected in 1521, Philippe Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, to send M?sy (Bodrum) the commander of the Tourette to restore the fortifications. Suleiman the Magnificent besieged Rhodes in 1522, at the head of 200,000 men. The city capitulated five months later, after a heroic resistance. The Sultan will give the defenders survived. The Grand Master and 160 Knights survivors leave Rhodes on 1 January 1523. Bodrum fall into the hands of Soliman few months later. The Order found refuge in Civitavecchia and Viterbo, and then to Nice. Charles V, which will sell the two strategic locations in Malta and Tripoli, they give control of the Mediterranean. The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem will become the Knights of Malta. The Grand Master Jean Parisot de La Valette will build the capital which bears his name in 1565. Surrounded by 592 knights, 2 500 soldiers and sailors, 5 800 militiamen, he will stand for five months for a seat of the Turkish fleet consisted of 180 galleys and more than 40 000 men and 50 guns.
Currently, this castle is to visit. It contains not less than one hundred of Arms carved in stone the majority and "original Templar.
For info, Turkey has eliminated the presence of the Templars on their land, just a small chapter in its history mentions the invasion of the sect of the Knights of Rhodes.
