Abbot Bernard de Fontaines-les-Dijon assured that the Militia of Christ was established as "the Sion Order's visible military branch". While the militia's official goal should be to protect pilgrims en route to and from Jerusalem, this was only a cover to hide the fact that its members actually undertook archaeological excavations in the Temple Mount. They found many valuable artifacts during this nine-year work, while the most important findings consisted of old scrolls that, among other things, show that Jesus' original teaching is entirely different from what Christianity wants us to believe. Therefore, these scrolls were kept in a safe place, so that they should not fall into the Pope's hands and be destroyed; and the choice fell on Scotland, where Hugues de Payens, the Grand Master of the Militia of Christ, during the summer of 1128 brought them from France to Kilwinning, which belonged to the grand master's former brother-in-law, Baron Henri 1 of Roslin, who was a member of the Rex Deus family de Saint-Clair. Marilyn Hopkins, Graham Simmans and Tim Wallace-Murphy believe that the Abbey of Kilwinning, which was completed eleven years later, was built to house the documents that the Militia of Christ had found in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The fact that many noble families had donated land and money to the order was a perfect cover for the treasure that Knights of Christ had found. The Rex Deus families now had control of both the Jerusalem Temple and the treasure, for the first time in over a thousand years.
