La Orden del Temple y sus caballeros, su historia y su mitología siguen constituyendo a día de hoy uno de los grandes episodios de nuestra historia.

Era necesario analizar las razones y los métodos empleados (entre otros, la doble vara de medir) para construir la leyenda negra más agresiva y duradera de la historia. Hacía falta estudiar cómo y por qué la propaganda antiespañola «externa» se instaló en el imaginario colectivo patrio e influyó en nuestra decadencia a partir del siglo XVI, hasta llegar a asumir que éramos inquisitoriales, grotescos, ignorantes y fanáticos. Era necesario examinar cómo este mito «intramuros» derivó en un «harakiri histórico-cultural», único en el mundo, gracias a una ingenuidad contumaz.

On February 12, 1994, just as the Winter Olympics opened in Lillehammer, Norway’s most famous artwork—Edvard Munch’s The Scream—was stolen in under 60 seconds from the National Gallery in Oslo. The culprits? A group of masked men with alleged ties to a modern-day Templar revivalist movement, combining ideology, symbolism, and street-level criminal precision.

Geoffrey of Monmouth's infamous 'History of the Kings of Britain' is one of the most daringly daft gems in the annals of British history. Although largely made up by a Welsh-Breton-Norman cleric as propaganda for the Norman nobility, it put flesh on the bones of King Arthur and exasperated generations of historians – so is well worth a fresh read in the 21st century, if just to remind us that there's nothing new about fake news…

In 476 CE, the Western Roman Empire collapsed into ruins. Yet in the East, the empire didn't just survive—it thrived for another thousand years. This is the remarkable story of Byzantium, the civilization that preserved classical learning through the Dark Ages, created artistic masterpieces that still inspire awe, and built a Christian empire that shaped the modern world.

Leonardo takes you inside the brain of a man who painted the most famous face on Earth, sketched helicopters in the 1400s, dissected corpses to understand beauty, and wrote in mirrored code while inventing robots no one would build for centuries. He didn’t separate art and science. He didn’t follow disciplines. He followed truth. And he left behind a world forever warped by the intensity of his attention.
