Yeah, that was my thought as well. If they were really serious about finding these artifacts, they'd have arranged to do at least sonar analysis or something to see if there's a chamber there. Instead it's "let's go in, speculate, and happily go home empty-handed".
While some of the interpretation of the symbols seemed pretty good to me, it also seemed like they were trying to associate anything with a cross with the Templars. They didn't have a monopoly on crosses. And a maltese cross vs a rectangular one isn't a strong correlation in my mind.
Granted, I'm no expert.

Crosses are associated with Templars, and given the amount of Templar- or religious-themed books and movies we've seen in the last ten years (Ivanhoe; Passion of the Christ; Le Pacte des Loupes; The DaVinci Code; National Treasure; KoH; Angels and Demons; Arn: Tempelriddaren; The Order (w/Van Damme if you can believe it); Soldier of God; The Last Templar; Templar Legacy; Season of the Witch; Robin Hood; etc, etc, to name a few books and/or movies) it stands to reason that the average consumer at some point may equate crosses with Templars.
Sir James mentioned that Lalibela was covered in this particular episode...there's local rumor that the Templars may have hidden part of their vast treasury somewhere there but as you both have said, if that were the case- it would've either made international news or it would've been covered up if some private company had sponsored a dig and found something until it was advantageous for them to reveal it. Or not.
IF the Templars were as pious as they're purported to be then I can say that I am not surprised that Philip le Bel's hatchetmen never found anything...being a monastic order keeping wealth for themselves should have been out of the question. Should have been. lol
I reserve judgement until they make a device that would allow the likes of you and I to go back and view it for ourselves...have they made a movie about that yet? Forget time travel, how about time vacations? Not some sunny beach or woodsy forest, but a specific date and time and location?
The movie Timeline sorta did it...but it wasn't by choice for those folks; Total Recall had a similar premise but they focused on technologically advanced super macho scenarios for that movie.
Sir Wolf:
MEH, is really all i can say. there was a show on a few years ago that was sorta the same thing but i liked his stuff better than this new guys.
Sir Patrick:
Aww, if I'd known Templars were in it, I would have watched it. I even sat through that horrendous "Templar Code" show on the History Channel. Twice :-[
Sir William:
LOL @ the Red Knight
How about it is in my DVD collection? LOL
Sir Edward:
Well, I watched the second episode of Legend Quest, and they were searching for Excalibur. All I can say is ugh.
The leaps of speculation are quite astonishing, actually. They start the search in a cave, and when they find a lion statue carved into the rock, they conclude that the sword must have been owned by Richard the Lionheart. And since history recorded that he traded a sword for an unusually large amount of military resources, that must have been Excalibur. So they travel to the country where it was supposedly traded to, look around the church there, and find a maltese cross, so obviously the sword must have been taken away by the Templars, in a straight line on the map.
