This video delves into the history and mythology of secret societies, focusing on the Freemasons, Templars, Rosicrucian Order, and the Illuminati.
Starting with the Freemasons, the video suggests that this society originated from medieval guilds of artisans who were believed to possess advanced construction techniques and knowledge of certain tools. The Freemasons were said to possess a "Coca Cola formula" that they kept secret to maintain their monopoly. The society's name is believed to derive from the French words for "free" and "mason".
The Templars are next discussed, with their origins traced back to the Middle Ages and the Crusades. The Templars were said to have discovered sacred relics and secret knowledge while excavating within Solomon's Temple, which they then integrated into Freemasonry. The Templars are also said to have returned to France as bankers and played a significant role in the construction of Gothic cathedrals.
The Rosicrucian Order is then introduced as an order that allegedly existed in Ancient Egypt and passed down through history, eventually resurfacing in the Middle Ages. The Rosicrucians are said to have discovered a mysterious book, The Book of the World, which contained ancient mystical knowledge.
The video concludes with a discussion on the Illuminati, a secret society often associated with powerful and influential individuals who allegedly manipulate society, economies, and governments. The Illuminati were said to have originated in Bavaria in 1776 and aimed to promote human and scientific progress, morality, and knowledge. Despite being declared a heresy by the Catholic Church in 1783, the Illuminati's reputation continued to grow and evolve over the years.
The video is filled with historical references and myths, and concludes by questioning the reality of these secret societies and their alleged influence on the world.
