🔺 Сицилия, Палермо | Сейчас

Итак, о чем нам говорит символ танцующего южного Льва? Это символ криминальной традиции Юга Италии. На штандарте написано: «Живи как Бог». По сути, это и есть Гюль-Голь.

​​👩‍🦰 About the female line of chivalric orders

🛡 No, you are not mistaken. Yes, women in chivalric orders. Many people associate only a male figure with the concept of a "knight." But, based on the study of the Expeditionary Corps, female lines in some of the knightly orders existed as well.

⬇️ The figure you see below in the photo is very rare; you won't be able to meet this kind of statute in every cathedral or temple. The figure represents the female line of the Templar's Order; the symbol embodies — "Humility is your Blessing, and your Shield is Truth."

🇩🇪 🇫🇷 Before field research in France, our group has seen this figure in Germany. It is considered that it appears nowhere else but in Germany (20%) and France (80%). We encountered this finding belonging to the female line of the Templar Order in the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Délivrande (France 2022). It is one of Europe's mysteries.

At the Templar Convent, female members of the Order run the cooks and open the dining room free of charge daily at 2PM. Any conversations with the cooks or the women of the Templar Order are forbidden by vow. 99% of male knights of the Order communicate with the outside world, but only 1% of female knights.

🇨🇭 There is also a female line of the Knights Hospitaller (Geschichte des Johanniterordens) in Zurich. In simple words, Hospitallers are medical practitioners. Unlike the Templar Order, women are very much welcomed. In Switzerland, it is prevalent for young girls to join the Hospitaller Society. Usually, no vows are required of them, except for volunteer work related to gathering donations, organizing charity events, etc. A young lady involved in a Hospitaller Brotherhood is regarded as a respectable woman.

🇳🇱 Our second Expedition to the Netherlands presents us with an exceptionally challenging endeavor. In previous scientific work here, it took us a week to formulate the breakthrough task for the research. We studied the way the Netherlands is organized, including its easily navigable canals that allow to travel between different parts of the city in a mere 20 minutes. The country also has impressive cathedrals, some larger than Germany's Frauenkirche, located in small towns. The infrastructure system operates seamlessly, akin to the precision of a clockwork mechanism. At the same time, the Netherlands stands out as one of the wealthiest and most nonreligious nations. But the question is, who is behind the creation and control of the Netherlands' smoothly functioning infrastructure and meticulously organized system? Indeed, the Netherlands can be likened to a vast Venice built upon water, implying that whoever controls the water controls the entire state. Through our observations, terrain analysis, and hypotheses, we have unraveled the mysterious organization of the Water Board in the Netherlands.

🛡 Our first expedition to the Netherlands provided compelling evidence that the Water Board holds the authority to control the comprehensive infrastructure of the country, with its establishment dating back to at least the 15th century, and possibly even earlier. The key to understanding the Netherlands lies in the organizational structure of the Water Board.

During our second expedition to the Netherlands, our primary goal is to unravel the mystery surrounding this organization and gain insight into how it have not only existed but also exercised its dominion over these lands for centuries. During this expedition, it is planned to uncover the mechanisms that allow them to create infrastructure, control it and generate revenue from it.
