The first sentence makes most people interested in history dismiss the article. It's too bad the media is so obsessed over this fiction novel as this is quite an interesting find.

Thanks for posting this article.
So far, their claims seem a bit outrageous as they offer no validation nor give any explanation as to the 'how' of their ability to so precisely date this find.

The first bodies of the Knights Templar, the mysterious religious order at the heart of The Da Vinci Code, have been found by archaeologistsHow convenient. Just in time for the motion picture release.

Boy is Sony Pictures going to be loving these guys. Heck, they even managed to work in a "Holy Grail" reference into their quote.
One might even think the timing of this was planned?...

I'm amazed at the amount of people who rather believe the DaVinci Code rather than the Bible. Will the DaVinci Code still be a bestseller a thousand years from now?

"British historian Tom Asbridge yesterday hailed the find as the first provable example of actual Knights Templar."
Is someone questioning the actual existence of Knights Templar? I don't "get" this statement at all. The first known instance of my own surname appears in the Templar Inquisition of 1185. I wish I could say I had proved my line, uninterrupted, back to that point, but that doesn't change the earliest record of it.

The remains were found beneath the ruined walls of Jacob's Ford, an overthrown castle dating back to the Crusades, which had been lost for centuriesHow does one misplace a castle for a few centuries? I guess they didn't have Amber Alerts back then.

that they were killed by Saladin, the feared Muslim leader That can't be... I thought Saladin was the wise and peaceful ruler who only wanted muslims, christians, and jews to all get along.
