<h2>The Great Pyramid and Freemasonry</h2> <p> As the eighteenth century drew to a close, the imminent explosion of Egyptological studies was gathering momentum. One last, curious episode in this story should be noted before moving on, however, and that is the rise of Freemasonry as a political and cultural force.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Most of the major figures of the Enlightenment were either masons or influenced by Freemasonry; and the masons were all Egyptophiles, in some cases claiming that they drew their traditions from secret Egyptian texts, in other cases actually asserting an unbroken lineage back to Egyptian priesthoods.<br /><br />The Masons establishing the Egytpian temples as their lodges used the Egyptian symbols as the decorum on their walls; even using the hieroglyphs which were a highly misunderstood language. They also included phenomena such as the pyramid and the "all seeing eye" on the reverse seal of the U.S. dollar bill.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />On May 19, 1798 the time was ripe for Napoleon to spread the theory of Egyptophila on a massive scale. Napoleon set sail from southern France for Egypt to launch his campaign and thus his invasion of the land of the Pharaoh's. This became one of the most important dates in the history of the Great Pyramid. <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top:5pt"> <font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt">Article Source: <a href="http://www.ArticlesMaker.com">ArticlesMaker.com</a></font></p> <h3>About the Author</h3> Author: Ken Klein is a independent film producer and researcher.
