Secret Freemasonry and the Pyramid
The rise of Free Masonry as a political and cultural force commenced at the end of the 1900’s. But what is very curious with regard to this episode in history is that it coincided with an acceleration of the imminent explosion of Egytological studies which gained considerable momentum at that time.
While Freemasonry became a highly political movement at the end of the 18th century it was clouded by cranks and obsessives, but nonetheless there are details that are beyond dispute. Much of the impetus of the enlightenment was accentuated by the role of Freemasonry on science, culture and politics.
Most of the ruling elite of Europe were all Masons or at least influenced by Freemasonry. The Masons in general were all initiated into the ancient mysteries of Egypt and laid their claims to the sacred rituals handed down from an unbroken Egyptian priesthood, as well as their documentation from existent Egyptian texts.
The former Egyptian temples were re-established as Masonic lodges and decorated with Egyptian symbols, including the hieroglyphs; Also included were the other phenomena such as the pyramid and the “all seeing eye” of Horus on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and dollar bill.
That Masonic Freemasonry flourished under the imperial rule of Napoleon is a matter of conspiratorial theory and record record, but it remains uncertain that he himself was a Mason. Nonetheless, Napoleon was know to use Masonic - Egyptian emblems in his protocols.
The time was ripe for the theory of Egyptophilia to be carried into practice on a massive scale. And so on May 19, 1798 (a most important date in the modern history of the Great Pyramid) Napoleon sailed from southern France to launch his invasion of Egypt.
