The Great Pyramid and Freemasonry

The explosion of Egyptology entered an accelerated stage at the end of the 18th century, and continued on for some years. But coincidental with the rise of the studies of the pyramid was the emergence of Freemasonry as a political and cultural force

Although the story is clouded by cranks and obsessives, a few details are beyond dispute. Whatever its precise origins, Freemasonry undeniably played an extremely significant role in the eighteenth-century scientific, political, and cultural advances which we now call the Enlightenment.

During this remarkable time in history most major figures in history were either mason or influenced by Freemasonry and all masons were Egyptophiloes. The Masons claimed that they drew their beginnings from Egypt and made these claims by pointing to Egyptian texts and an lineage dating to the Egyptian priesthood.

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.

Even Napoleon was involved in certain Masonic affairs even though it remains uncertain whether he himself was a Mason. Yet, it is a matter of conspiratorial record that some of his imperial emblems were Masonic-Egyptian and that Freemasonry flourished under his rule.

Napoleon determined that the time was ripe to launch the theory of Egyptophila on an unprecedented scale. He made his plans and set sail from the south of France to invade the ancient land of Egypt. This date became one of the most important in the history of the Great Pyramid.
