He was an awful man.
Yeah.
And, you know, did he know about, you know, North and South America?
Absolutely, he did.
How did he know about it?
Well, he pulled a nun out of a nunnery who was the daughter of a drummond who inherited Earl Henry Sinclair, the guy I told you about that brought the treasures over,
mapped all of North and South America.
Well, he mapped North America, but this Drummond was a sea captain and he inherited all these maps.
And then she got the maps.
So Columbus pulled her out of this nunnery and married her so he could get access to the maps.
He was not a Templar.
He was not part of the tradition.
Like I said, he was a real asshole and he was brutal to the natives.
And like I said, he never set foot on North America until his fourth trip.
He came over four times.
And he was flying the Templar cross on his sails, not because he was a Templar, but because he knew that the indigenous people who had already interacted with the Templars and had good relations with them, he knew that they would be received positively.
But as I said, things did not go very well for the natives.
He was greedy.
He was brutal.
And he had just enough knowledge to pull off the caper that he did.
