What if clandestine FreeMasons deliberately altered Rosslyn Chappel to imply a Freemasonry Connection?

Robert L.D. Cooper, Curater of the Grand Lodge of Scotland Museam and Library, asks the reader just this question in his upcomming book, The Rosslyn Hoax, scheduled to be released later this year.

What if such alteration was a deliberate attempt to make a mythic-past a reality in the mind of both non-Masons and "Brothers" alike?

What if such alterations were merely meant as an "inside joke"?

Does this "shoot-down" any notion that Freemasonry has connections to The Knights Templar?

Ultimately, Mr. Cooper has stated that he does not force any answers upon readers, rather he allows each person to come to their own conclusion and form their own opinion after reading his research.

Interestingly, Mr. Cooper has clearly stated that the imagery and symbolism in Rosslyn Chappel is definitively that of Scottish Rite.
