“There are authors who attribute the origin of modern Free Masonry to the followers of Pythagoras, because some of the speculations of that Philosopher concerning the meaning of the numbers are to be found in the esoteric doctrines taught in the masonic lodges. Others, on account of the Christian symbols that have been incorporated in the decoration of things pertaining to Masonry, following the Swedish system, say that the Essenes and first Christians founded it. Others, again, make it originate in the building of Solomon's temple, many Jewish names, emblems and legends, taken from the Bible, having found their way into the rites of initiation to several degrees. Others, still, make it go back to Adam. Ask them why—they do not know. While not a few, and I among them, earnestly believe that Masonry existed before Adam was created.” This part 2 of 5, Free Masonry, From Sacred Mysteries Among The Mayas And The Quiches, By Augustus Le Plongeon Sacred Mysteries Among The Mayas And The Quiches, By Augustus Le Plongeon https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrDURG8i62ObFy0l8c2OWnTcmPRRc2KjJ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/warsoftheroses We have joined Patreon.
