Beyond the rumors, into the manuscripts few have ever seen.
The pyramid on the dollar bill. The plots of Dan Brown novels. Everyone has encountered Freemasonry somewhere, and nearly everyone has questions. This tour moves past speculation and into the primary sources themselves.
The BPH Collection holds an extraordinary collection of Freemasonic manuscripts and printed works, many of which have never been digitized. Your guide will walk you through the most striking and significant of these, tracing Freemasonry from its historical origins through its transformations across centuries. The Knights Templar connection. The Illuminati question. The rituals, the symbols, the so-called secrets. What emerges is a portrait of one of the most misunderstood and enduring 'mystery schools' in the Western world.
