Castles Align: Unearth a Hospitaller navigation artifact

What you’re about to discover is essentially a lost crusader artifact left behind by the Knights Hospitaller. I found it hidden in the hills of Kos many years ago and only now have I been able to simplify the observation enough to condense it into an article. Kos is a Greek island mentioned in Homer’s Iliad when a unit of “Koans” fought on the side of the Greeks in the Trojan War. But this discovery is not a weapon, priceless treasure or lost relic, but all three.

Kos mythology and archeology
In classical Greek mythology, Merops was the founder king of Kos, the Greek island of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, off the Anatolian coast of Turkey. This is why “Meropian Kos” is listed in the 7th-century Homeric hymn to Delian Apollo; “The island was visited by Heracles.” ( Iliad ii.676)

Archaeologists know the ancient market of Kos as one of the largest in the ancient world, and mythologists consider it the legendary birthplace of the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, marked by a the tree next to the Asclepeion in Kos.

Castle on the island
Because of Kos’s strategic location, a network of four medieval castles was predictably built on the island: Nerantzia (Neratzia), Antimachia, Old Pyli and Kefalos, the largest being Nerantzia, Castle of the Knights of the Order of St. John in Kos.

Nerantzia Castle, along with Saint Peter’s Castle on the coast opposite ancient Alicarnasus (modern Bodrum Castle), controlled the sea route towards the Holy Land during the period of the Crusades.

Nerantzia means ‘castle of the sour orange tree’ and is the most important part of the fortifications built on the island by the Hospitallers in 1315. Located on a headland that was once an island during the occupation of Venetians, the castle took about 130 years to build.

This huge rectangular castle has four tall corner towers and is protected by two solid curtain walls. A wide moat (ditch) separates two curtain walls connected only by a single incline on the east side of the castle. Various architectural elements from the ancient city of Kos and the Asclepeion were used in the construction of the castle. Many of these can still be seen today mounted on the castle walls.

The oldest remaining part of the castle is the circular tower to the left of the drawbridge, and it bears the coats of arms of the two Grand Masters of the Order of Knights of Saint John’s Hospital of Jerusalem, also known as the Order of Saint John. , Order of Hospitallers, Knights Hospitaller: De Lastic (1437 – 1454) and De Milly (1454 – 1461). The outer area lies behind the inner, construction begun in 1495 by Grand Master D’Aubusson, continued by D’Amboise and completed by Del Carretto in 1514.

The largest stronghold on the island is Antimachia Castle, also built in the 14th century by the Knights Hospitaller and central to the island’s network of four castles – including castles at Kos, Pyli and Kefalos. Located in the center of the island of Kos, southeast of the village of Antimachia, it controlled the extremely important maritime routes and trade routes between the islands of Kos and Nisyros. We will return to this function later.

The castle survived the 1928 earthquake and during the Ottoman siege in 1457 “15 knights and 200 locals” fought bravely against “16,000 Turkish troops, resisting attacks work for more than 20 days.

Again, on a tracery above the second door of the double doors is the coat of arms of the Grand Master d’Aurbusson and the date 1494. Just a year later, in 1495, the Grand Master became inclined to Freemasonry He recently began construction on Nerantzia Castle further north in Kos. This is definitely a man with plans that we will reveal soon.

Palio Pyli is an abandoned village in the Dikeos municipality, and this striking hilltop castle was originally a Byzantine structure built during the Macedonian dynasty (9th – 11th centuries). AD) inside a large walled city.

Located 3-4 km (1.86-2.49 mi) from the modern village of Pyli and about 17 km (10.56 mi) from the city of Kos, the castle ruins are in an extremely strategic position on the northern slope of the chain of island mountains – overlooking Marmari, Tingaki, Alykes salt lake, and overlooking the nearby islands of Pserimos and Kalymnos and towards the coast of Asia Minor. Historians record that when the knights of Saint John occupied the island in the 14th century, they “built fortifications on the castle to strengthen the island’s defenses.”

What we have discovered so far is that between 1494-5, Grand Master D’Aubusson rebuilt and fortified three castles. This in itself is a rather unremarkable statement. However, I will now present to you a very provocative cartographic observation, and I will not give the reason for this remarkable event until you have seen the image.

For some, ancient aliens certainly had a hand in this, while others will argue that it is intricately linked to Earth’s powerful energies and that the Covenant The castle builder has some kind of control over these arrangements. All three castles are perfectly aligned with an accuracy of 200 meters (656.17 ft.) above ground.

What we have here is the Grandmaster of the Knights Hospitaller trying to fortify the entire island. Signalmen stationed at each of the three castles and hilltops in the Kefalou Ko wildlife reserve guarded the seas to the south, which could have sounded the alarm if pirates appeared. appears on the horizon – and within minutes, fire and mirrors can cause major damage. causing the knights to race from the villages to their three castles and the island may have been blockaded.

I will present the motivation for this observation in more detail in an extended article on the Ancient Origins premium website in May, and I will leave it to you and your own interpretations. about this connection.

You can see it very clearly when you open Google Maps and extend this Hospitaller castle connection to the northeast and southwest…it seems like Grand Master D’ Aubusson may have spiritualized this connection, but that’s it. really another story for another day.
