At 41\u00ba South latitude and 65\u00ba West longitude, in the Province of R\u00edo Negro, within San Mat\u00edas Gulf, around 15 km from San Antonio Oeste<\/a> and near Las Grutas beach resort, there lies the Argentine Fort<\/a><\/strong>, as we call it nowadays. I say \u201cnowadays\u201d because in the past it was known as the Abandoned Fort<\/strong>. The question is, in the past, it may have been one of the Cities of Caesars built by the Templars to safeguard their most precious treasure…<\/p>\n And it might as well have been one thousand years ago, when the sea was supposed Delphos Foundation<\/a>, a multidisciplinary team that studies these matters, supports this by producing maps and ancient documents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But this is only a complement to the Foundation\u2019s central hypothesis<\/strong>. This apparently desolate place hides a great secret<\/strong>:It is an abandoned city of the Templars<\/strong> that in its golden age kept one of the greatest mysteries of Christianity… The Holy Grail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Delphos researchers say that according to many historians the Templars frequently traveled to America in pre-Columbian times<\/strong>, so it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that \u201ccities of Caesars<\/strong>\u201d were established in the continent.<\/p>\n The Foundation states that three cities were established in the present Patagonian region<\/strong>: one on the Pacific near Osorno city, another in the lower slopes of the Andes, and the third on the Atlantic within San Mat\u00edas Gulf, where we find the Fort, which is the subject of their research.<\/p>\n Delphos Foundation decided to make various expeditions to the Fort zone<\/strong>. From December, 1997 to November 2006 more than 8 expeditions were conducted and oral testimonies and some material findings<\/strong> were obtained.<\/p>\n As to material findings<\/strong>, in April 1998 the Foundation\u2019s researchers found a block of dark granite or basalt They also discovered various \u201csmall tiles\u201d or mosaics, triangular in shape and with a smooth side and a striated side, which researchers claim to have been part of the tiling of buildings in the fort.<\/p>\n Other elements found are lithographic findings<\/strong> which raise special interest, namely: a coin with a cross, a circle and a kind of crescent.<\/p>\n This information contributes to the formulation of the hypothesis that the denomination of \u201cFort\u201d is not Delphos Foundation seems to have reached this conclusion after reading several books and ancient manuscripts<\/strong> describing situations that can fit their hypothesis. But there is nothing conclusive that may reveal this \u201csecret\u201d as something real.<\/p>\n It seems that once again everything comes down to the personal decision of believing or not believing, clinging to some kind of faith as a shield or closing your eyes to avoid the radiant sunlight that bathes the Fort\u2019s horizon and get carried away.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Argentine foundation is studying the relationship between the rocky plateau known as the Fort and the Knight Templars\u2019 alleged adventures in the American continent with the secret mission of protecting the Holy Grail.

The Fort is a rock formation that possesses very special characteristics \u2014it is a great coastal plateau that reaches 153 meters above sea level<\/strong>. From a distance, the Fort greatly resembles an island<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nto have been 20 meters higher and the Negro River was supposed to have had a second mouth just south of the Fort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"Atlas](\"\/images\/mapamoussy.jpg\")
Cartographic material<\/strong> is one of the strongest supporting evidence of their hypothesis \u2014in an atlas published in 1865 by Juan Antonio V\u00edctor Mart\u00edn de Moussy<\/strong>, a cartographer hired by Urquiza\u2019s administration, the Fort is referred to as \u201cAncien Fort abandonn\u00e9\u201d. In six other contemporary maps of those times the site is marked as a fort.<\/p>\n![\"Cruz](\"\/images\/islahombresblancos.jpg\")
In one of the maps, which was drawn by the Spaniard Cruz Cano<\/strong> and that seems to confirm the Fort\u2019s past insular condition, there is a reference to white men<\/strong> (\u201cIsland of White Men according to the Nation\u2019s natives, in accordance with Quiroga\u2019s travel maps\u201d). Based on this information, the Foundation interviewed present inhabitants that recalled an ancient secret agreement<\/strong> made by their ancestors and some white men speaking a strange language.<\/p>\n![\"Mosaics](\"\/images\/piedratemplaria.jpg\")
