In Part 12 of Mystery Babylon Revisited, we continue our breakdown of Bill Cooper’s Mystery Babylon series, diving deeper into the history of the Assassins, also known as the Hashashim, their legendary leader Hassan-i Sabbah, and their alleged connections to the Knights Templar.
Operating from mountain fortresses throughout Persia and Syria, the medieval Nizari Ismailis became feared for their targeted political assassinations, secrecy, and unwavering loyalty to their leadership. Their reputation would grow into one of history’s most enduring legends, eventually giving rise to the popular association between the Assassins and the modern word assassin.
But how much of their reputation was historical reality, and how much was shaped by their enemies?
We examine Hassan-i Sabbah, the fortress of Alamut, the Old Man of the Mountain, and the legendary Garden of Paradise, exploring the stories of initiation, indoctrination, religious devotion, and psychological manipulation that became associated with the Hashashim.From there, we follow Bill Cooper’s interpretation of the relationship between the Assassins and the Knights Templar, two organizations that operated in the Middle East during the Crusades and became central figures in later esoteric and conspiracy literature.
Did the Templars encounter the Assassins and their teachings? Were there exchanges of knowledge, political alliances, or religious ideas between these groups? And how did later writers transform their historical encounters into theories about secret initiations, hidden doctrines, and the transmission of occult knowledge into Western Europe?
We explore the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, their immense political and financial influence, accusations of heresy, and the controversial legends surrounding their alleged secret teachings.
As we continue unraveling Mystery Babylon, we investigate Cooper’s broader thesis that ancient mystery traditions survived through religious orders, secret societies, and initiatory organizations, influencing the development of Western esotericism.Were the Assassins and Templars simply two powerful medieval organizations shaped by the politics and religious conflicts of their time, or does their intertwined mythology reveal something deeper about the history of secret societies?
