Is it a coincidence that the Templar
assets
from France that went to Scotland and Portugal
provided
the liquidity for firstly the Prince Henry
Sinclairs voyage to
North America, and then subsequently the liquidity
for the Portuguese
explorers in opening up Brazil, and the Cape route
to the East Indies,
Goa, and Portuguese East Africa. Certainly many of
the early Portuguese
navigators were Templar followers of the Portuguese
order.
In this case French ( or French domiciled)
capital helped two other nations,
firstly the Scots and later the Portuguese, to open up trade routes
to the East and the West.
Laura Zola is indeed following in ancient footsteps
of the Templars
who managed to flee from France.
