The knights who guard the crown of thorns!

Hello you, welcome back to Hot History! Today's ep looks at the secret Parisian order of monastic knights who guard what some believe to be Jesus's crown of thorns!
We will look at:
1. Origin of this order
2. Origin of this crown from Jerusalem to Paris
3. Role of the order today & the Notre Dame fire
4. Authenticating the crown
PLUS we look at the difference between normal archaeological artifacts and religious relics, and how to authenticate them in the modern day (or not)!
