Last stand: The coins were buried by Christian soldiers of the order
of the Knights Hospitalier as the Crusaders faced an unstoppable attack by a huge Muslim army
A pot of gold from the Crusades worth up to $500,000 has been found buried in an ancient Roman fortress in Israel.
The coins were buried by Christian soldiers of the order of the Knights Hospitalier as the Crusaders faced an unstoppable attack by a huge
Muslim army.
The knights were annihilated in April 1265.
The coins - worth a fortune even in 1265 when they were thought to have been buried - were
deliberately hidden inside a broken jug to prevent them being discovered.
The fortress was destroyed in April 1265 by forces of Mamluks who overwhelmed the Crusaders
- and the treasure only survived due to the quick thinking of one of the defenders.
'It was in a small juglet, and it was partly broken,' Oren Tal of the University
of Tel Aviv told Fox News.
'The idea was to put something broken in the ground and fill it with sand, in order to hide the
gold coins within. If by chance somebody were to find the juglet, he won't
excavate it, he won't look inside it to find the gold coins.
Once we started to sift it, the gold came out.'
The Roman fortress in Apollonia National Park has
yielded a huge number of archaeological treasures - but
scientists excavating layer from the thirteenth century were stunned to unearth a literal pot of gold.
The clay container had more than 100 gold
dinals from the time when the Crusaders occupied the fortress, originally
built by the Romans.

The coins discovered in the fort date to the Fatimid empire in northern Africa, and are 200-300 years older than the ruined
fortress they found in.
The coins were minted in Tripoli and Alexandria - and
are extremely valuable.

AN ORDER THAT HELPED THE POOR
The Knights Hospitaller - also known as the Knights of St John - arose
as a group of individuals associated with the work of an Amalfitan hospital in the Muristan district of
Jerusalem
The hospital was founded around 1023 by Blessed Gerard to provide care pilgrims to the
Holy Land.
However the order was soon extended into providing an armed escort
to pilgrims.
After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a
religious and military order under its own charter, and was charged with
the care and defence of the Holy Land.
By the mid-12th century, the order was divided into military brothers and those who worked with
the sick.
'Fatimid coins are very difficult to study,' says Oren Tal, 'The letters
are sometimes very difficult to decipher.'
The coins can sell for up to $5,000 apiece, according to Israel's Haaretz newspaper.
The excavations are offering a unique insight into Crusader fortifications in the Middle East.
The layer of Crusader artifacts has lain nearly undisturbed since 1265.
Muslim Arsuf was conquered by the Crusaders in 1101 and re-conquered by
the Mamluks in 1265.
The presence of the Crusaders left its mark on the town.
Large parts of it were re-planned, while extensive fortifications, private and public buildings,
as well as a castle were erected.
The town's abandonment after its Mamluk destruction led to a unique archaeological setting in which the Crusader layers were
left largely undisturbed by later settlement activities.

CENTURIES OF BLOODY WAR IN THE HOLY LANDS
The Crusades were a series of religious wars with
the stated goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places
in and near Jerusalem - a sacred city for Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Events leading up to the Crusades began in 1071 when the Seljuk Turks
defeated the Byzantine army.
The Byzantine emperor then called on fellow Christian leaders and the Pope to come to the aid of Constantinople and free Jerusalem from 372 years of Muslim rule.
Many answered the call, angered by the destruction of many Christian sacred sites and the persecution of Christians under the Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim.
Under Al-Hakim in the early 11th century, thousands of churches were destroyed throughout the ancient Christian heartland of the Middle East, and when the Seljuk Turks
captured Jerusalem in 1077, just 22 years before it fell to the Crusaders, they too massacred some
three thousand inhabitants.
All these Islamic attacks on the West occurred
before the First Crusade.
Some scholars even argue that the very idea of 'holy war' was
learned from the example of Islam on the
march.
All these events led to the main series of Crusades, primarily against
Muslims in the Levant, occurred between 1095 and 1291, producing some of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
Raymond of Agiles described the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders in 1099
thus:
'Some of our men cut off the heads of their enemies; others
shot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into the flames.
Piles of heads, hands and feet were to be seen in the streets of
the city.
It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and
horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the temple
of Solomon, a place where religious services ware ordinarily
chanted.
What happened there?
If I tell the truth, it will exceed your powers of belief.
So let it suffice to say this much at least, that in the temple
and portico of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins.'
The First Crusade (1095-1101)
Crusader armies defeated two substantial Turkish forces at Dorylaeum and at Antioch, reaching
Jerusalem with only a fraction of their original forces.
In 1099, they took Jerusalem by assault and created small crusader states, which became the ‘Kingdom of Jerusalem'.
The Second Crusade (1147-49)
After a period of relative peace in which Christians and Muslims co-existed in the Holy Land,
Muslims conquered the town of Edessa.
A new crusade was called for by various preachers. French and German armies marched to Jerusalem in 1147
but failed to accomplish any major successes.
The Third Crusade (1187-92)
in 1187, Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt captured Jerusalem.
Pope Gregory VIII called for a crusade which
was undertaken by King Richard I of England (Richard the
Lionheart), Holy Roman Emporer Frederick I, and
King Philip II of France. They defeated the Muslims near Arsuf but
failed to take of Jerusalem. Richard left the following year after establishing a truce with Saladin.
The Fourth Crusade (1202-04)
The Fourth Crusade was initiated in 1202 by Pope
Innocent III, with the intention of invading the Holy
Land through Egypt.
Because they subsequently lacked provisions and time on their vessel lease the
leaders decided to go to Constantinople, where they attempted to place a Byzantine exile on the
throne, before sacking the city .
The Fifth Crusade (1217-21)
The Fourth Council of the Lateran (1215) formulated a plan for the recovery of the Holy Land.
A crusading force from Hungary and Austria took back.
In the second phase, crusader forces attacked Cairo.
Flooding in the Nile forced them to choose between surrender and defeat.
The Sixth Crusade (1228-29, 1239)
Through diplomacy by Emperor Frederick II Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem were delivered
to the Crusaders for a period of ten years.
This was the first Crusade that had no Papal involvement.
The Seventh Crusade (1249-52)
Fought in Egypt, the crusaders lost a decisive battle at La Forbie in Gaza.
This battle is considered by many historians
to have been the death knell to the Christian States.
The Eighth Crusade (1270)
Organised by Louis IX in 1270 to come to the aid of the remnants of the Crusader states in Syria.
However, the Crusade was diverted to Tunis, where Louis
spent only two months before dying. The crusade achieved
a partial success in that Christian religious were allowed to live peacefully in the region.
