Hiram Abiff, the True King of Egypt, 1554BC

"Death has no terror equal to that of the stain of falsehood and dishonor. Of this grand truth, the annals of Freemasonry afford a glorious example of the unshaken fidelity and untimely death of our Grand Master, Hiram Abif, who lost his life just before the completion of King Solomon’s Temple, at the construction of which he was the principle architect."

Who is Hiram Abiff?

Because Hiram, King of Tyre provided the labor and the cedar, some have connected the two, but there is no possible link apart from the fact that they share a name. Hiram meant ‘noble’ or ‘kingly’ in Hebrew, while Abif has been identified as old French for ‘lost one’, giving a literal description of ‘the king that was lost.’

Hiram Abiff is, in part, a composite of three biblical figures; Betzalel, Adoniram and Hiram Abi. Thus the figure of Hiram Abiff combines the wisdom of Betzalel and the supervising skills of Adoniram with the metal working skills of Hiram Abi, and adds those of a Master Mason. The question remains, who is he really? He is a symbolic character whose meaning we must discover if we are to understand the Legend.

"In Plato's Timaeus, there appears the earliest known equation of the Creator with the 'Architect of the Universe'. The Creator, in the Timaeus, is called 'tekton', meaning 'craftsman' or 'builder'. 'Arche-tekton' thus denoted 'master craftsman' or 'master builder'. For Plato, the 'arche-tekton' crafted the cosmos by means of geometry."
- Baigent & Leigh, The Temple and the Lodge

"Although Freemasonry require each of its Candidates to confirm his belief in God, it does not expand on the subject but leaves religion and its practice to the individual Mason. As a result, men of all religious persuasions have been able to join in the study of Freemasonry's moral and philosophical principles."
- W. Kirk MacNulty, Freemasonry - A Journey through Ritual and Symbol

Tracing the ritual back to Egypt 3500 years ago and actually finding the real 'King that was Lost' amazingly fit our Hiram Abiff perfectly.

After Horus is concieved, Osiris becomes 'the King of The Dead' and is transported to the 'afterlife'. The afterlife (also referred to as life after death, the hereafter, or the great unknown) is the belief that the consciousness and/or mind of a being continues after biological death occurs. The term reincarnation refers to an afterlife in which only the "essence" or ego of the being is preserved, and the "afterlife" is another life on Earth or possibly within the standard universe. Freed from all material attachments, he or she may dwell there eternally as a matured human spirit.

Horus was himself a boy who grew to manhood and fought the evil Set(h) in a mighty battle in whichHorus lost an eye and Set(h) lost his testicles.

People viewed the battle and the gods; Isis, Horus, Set(h) and Osiris to be mythical but physical evidence started turning up all over Egypt that proves these gods were in fact real. Mummies, Tombs, ect. all point to these mythical gods as being real people. see Osiris Found

The reason for the murder of our 'lost' King is tied to the split in the 'two lands' of Egypt and the two brothers Set(h) and Osiris.

It has also been said that Nimrod had tried to place himself in front of the people instead of the ETERNAL (God) Gen. 10:8-9..... Hiram Index 4 reveals the excluded true story (Again from Josephus).

The religions claim the Tower of Jupiter was dedicated to a false God. With the evidence to back it up, we contend the God was Enki, the God that rescued Noah from the flood.

The truth is that Shem killed Nimrod because he worshipped a 'different god'. But we also find that Shem, Jacob and Joseph are not the 'good guys' so expressed by the Hebrews and the bible, keeping in mind that this is Hebrew history and their opinions and practices we are dealing with which are origionally from the Torah and Moses. Moses wasn't wrong either but this is difficult to explain unless we consider that there were two opposing forces at work. Possibly two gods.

God makes man twice in Genesis; see 1:26 and 2:7. 1:26 says, "Let US make man in OUR own image." 1:27 indicates "male and female" were created as equals. 2:21 Indicates woman came from man (his rib) so he could rule over her. 2:7, Indicates One God who breathed into his nostrils 'the breath of life'.

God calls for a flood to destroy mankind vs. God saves Noah and his family.
Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill." Leviticus 24:17 "And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death." vs. Exodus 32:27 "Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, . . . and slay every man his brother, . . . companion, . . . neighbor." I Samuel 6:19 " . . . and the people lamented because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter."

Exodus 20:16 "Thou shalt not bear false witness."
Proverbs 12:22 "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord." vs. I Kings 22:23 "The Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee." II Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
These last 2 verses are key to understanding that there might be two gods - One would help mankind and one would not - even to the point of total destruction or making them believe a lie.

Why does God give Abraham lands that already belong to Ham and his sons? Did he forget that he gave Egypt to Ham? Again, there are two opposing forces at work here and this event centers on Canaan's curse. Shem is given Canaan's land, then Abraham brings his family directly into Egypt and another unknown story is exposed.

Nimrod was also in Egypt after the entire families of Ham and his sons left Babylonia. This will all tie to Set(h) and Osiris. You will see this map many more times as we explain what the bible doesn't.

In this time and place our story begins when Set(h), Isis and Osiris are still alive and considered to be Gods in Egypt.

How could a foreigner style himself Horus without the secret initiation process known only to the real kings of Egypt and their inner sanctum? The Hyksos spoke Egyptian with an amusing accent, wore beards (Egyptians shaved daily unless in mourning), they had a strange dress sense and they transported themselves in wheeled machines they called chariots which were pulled by horses instead of donkeys.

Around the thirty-fourth year of Apophis’s rule, he instructed the king of Thebes to provide him with the secrets of becoming 'Osiris' so that he could achieve the eternal life which was his due as “rightful” king of the Two Lands. The Theban King Sequenenre Tao II was not interested in parting with his birthright to a bearded Asiatic named after the ’serpent of darkness.” King Apophis started to use his power against Seqenenre. A particularly significant example of this conflict was an order sent by Apophis over the four hundred miles from Avaris to Thebes complaining to Sequenenre about noise:

The main character is Moses. The book details how he was raised by an Egyptian princess, went to school in Egypt and was taught many mysterious things not fully understood by the Hebrews he ended up helping. It turns out that his step brother wasn't Ramses, but Ahmose and Kamose, the sons of the King - Sequenenre Tao II, 17th dynasty.

After Joseph became visor, it would appear that one of the things Joseph had his errant brothers do, apart from the silver goblet incident involving Benjamin recorded in the Bible, was to get two of his brothers, probably Simeon and Levi, as we shall see later, to make contact with an ambitious priest (whom we shall call Jubelo) at the temple of Amen-Ra in Thebes who was willing to aid Apophis in obtaining the royal secrets from its custodians, probably only the two highest ranking priests and Sequenenre Tao himself.

Levi indeed was given a 'priesthood', only to be taken away from him later and the Tribe bannished forever, which again the bible doesn't explain. This 'priesthood' was given to him by the Hyksos ruler Apophis. Because of their sinfull deeds, the Levites were no longer allowed to be priests. Jacob withdrew Simeon and Levi's inheritance of land. From that time forward, only Aaron and his sons were allowed to undertake the priesthood duties. This again ties Moses and Aaron to the real Egyptians.

The Book of Overthrowing Apophis was a secret book containing magical words and instructions on how to make wax figures of the serpent Set(h) which could be trodden into a shapeless mess, destroyed by fire or dismembered with knives. Sequenenre Tao had this book in his possession and read prayers and incantations from it every day.

The trio, Simeon and Levi and the young priest probably wound up murdering the two head Egyptian priests in the end, after they refused to divulge the secrets, and the last desperate chance for success they had at that point was to attack the king himself. They took the King just as he emerged from the temple of Amen-Ra where they told him to give up the secrets under pain of death. Of course, King Sequenenre refused and blows were struck, and so he lay dead on the ground.

They failed spectacularly... Not only were the royal secrets lost forever, but the murder of the king would incite his sons Ahmose and Kamose (both literally "the Widow's sons") to wage a war that would eventually drive the Hyksos out of Egypt for good and inaugurate the New Kingdom. It was a harsh blow for Ahmose and Kamose as well; neither of them could become a true king now that the secrets were forever lost. No Egyptian ruler had ever dared call himself king ever after, instead using the title Pharoah, which means "Great House", implying that the Pharoah's council of ministers was what gave him the authority to rule.

Simeon and Levi somehow eventually escaped the wrath of the Thebans and made their way back to the Hyksos capital of Avaris. Of them, Jacob had this to say in Genesis 49:6:
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self will they digged down a wall.

This strange Biblical verse has no real convincing explanation to date, except when viewed in the context of the above narration.

1980 BC - - - - Abraham enters Egypt for the first time (age 30).

Jasher 29:11. "And Joseph was king of Egypt for forty-eight years.

In the Book of Genesis, nowhere do the authors mention the Asiatic conquest of the Egyptians that is known to have happened in the period somewhere between Abraham and Moses. However Josephus recorded the Thebian Queen insisting that Moses be put in charge of the Egyptian army. We found several books left out of the bible which reveal more of the hidden history and Manetho completes the connections with what really happened.

Hiram Legend contd: So what became of Jubelum? There is actual, physical evidence that suggests that he was eventually captured by the Thebans, and taken before Seqenenre Tao's son Kamose, where he was tortured by bathing him in rancid milk and leaving him under the harsh Egyptian sun for a few days, making him smell evil, and easily recognizable to the forces of darkness which he served. He was then castrated and mummified alive. He was then wrapped in sheeps cloth and put in a plain white painted wooden coffin, the sign of a priest. This seems to be borne out because Seqenenre Tao's mummy was, surprisingly, included in a cache of royal mummies found by the Egyptologist Emil Brugsch in 1881 at Deir el Bahri, exhibiting very strange wounds that attest that he had suffered a violent death, probably from a heavy blow to his forehead that cracked his skull and broke his neck; this being the only royal mummy ever found to show marks of violence.... more on Widow's Son 3 and Abraham 2.

Egyptian "priests" were not permitted to wear wool, since wool came from animals, and animals obviously were unclean. They wore only fine linen, stored in special rooms of the temples and cared for by other priests whose function it was to assure their cleanliness."
- Bob Brier, Ancient Egyptian Magic

The forensic view by Brugsch: Alongside Sequenenre Tao's mummy was an unidentified mummy whose genitals were missing, and which, apparently, had not undergone a proper mummification as the internal organs and other parts normally removed in the process were still present. It also was covered with a cheese-like residue of rancid milk. (not white paint as a recent televised documentary suggests) The mummy also did not have the serene features and posture of most proper mummies, but on the contrary seems to be hunched backwards with the mouth open as if emitting a silent scream; all the signs that the person was actually mummified alive.

This odd corpse had been dated to the end of the Second Intermediate Period, just as with the body of Sequenenre Tao, but had not attracted much interest among Egyptologists, who tend to concentrate on the mummies of the famous. But to Knight and Lomas, this corpse would probably be that of Jubelo, one of the conspirators who murdered Seqenenre Tao and brought about the loss of the Egyptian royal secrets. If that is so, the curse on Jubelo seems to have persisted to this very day: he is still doomed to be linked to the man he murdered, for in the Cairo Museum, Sequenenre Tao is Catalogue No. 61051 while Jubelo is Catalogue No. 61023...

The Screaming Mummy. This site has great pictures but fails to relate that the mummy was in a white unmarked cedar coffin suggesting he was a priest. Leaving the coffin unmarked (no name) prohibited the soul from reaching the 'afterlife' and was the ultimate punishment for betrayal. This report also suggests he is Rameses III's son, which we disagree with due to the timing of the Exodus which has been moved to 1550 BC., 400 years before Ramses III which was 1186–1155 BC., and the mummy was wrapped exactly as Sequenenre and his wife suggesting the same person did the work.

Why does the bible not mention the death of Hiram?

It is a fact that the scriptures mention nothing about Hiram's death but the Masonic Degrees say Hiram died before Solomons temple was completed. As we read the scriptures we realised that the story wasn't really true but had an allegorical lesson in it.

Several Masons even wrote us and said the story wasn't really true!
"Among the traditions of the Order there is a legend referring to the tablets used by Hiram Abiff as a Trestle-Board on which to lay down his designs. This legend, of course, can lay no claim to authenticity, but is intended simply as a symbol inculcating the duty of every man to work in the daily labor of life after a design that will construct in his body a spiritual temple."

This doesn't explain the 'death' at all! But the murder of Sequenenre does. Even more evidence comes from the 22nd and 23rd Masonic degrees, which takes place in the Sinai, in Egypt, which you will see on Hiram Forward. We actually find Moses and Aaron in attendence at a funeral.

Eventually, this tradition about the murder of the king filtered down in garbled form into the secret traditions of the Jews, who had originated from Egypt proper and eventually assimilated much Egyptian cultural tradition. The secret tradition had been passed down over thousands of years to the Essenes in Qumran, who had left some of their most important and sacred writings in secret passages beneath the Temple of Jerusalem, shortly before the sack of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD.

The secret words used in the Third Degree ceremony which is the Master Mason raising ceremony are spoken in a whisper and are never spoken out loud.

’Ma’at-neb-men-aa, Ma’at-ba-aa’ (This is not correct)

These words are pure ancient Egyptian meaning:

’Great is the established Master of Freemasonry, Great is the spirit of Freemasonry’.

This site translated ‘Ma’at’ as ‘Freemasonry’ and they say because there is no other modern single word that comes close to the original complex concept that conveyed a whole bundle of ideas around ‘truth, justice, fairness, harmony and moral rectitude as symbolized by the regular purity of the perfectly upright and square foundations of a temple’. Ma’at was an attitude to life that blended the three most important values that mankind possesses, namely the knowledge of science, the beauty of art and the spirituality of theology. That is the craft of Masonry.

These few words have survived intact over such a vast period of time. They have been viewed as the ‘magic words’, the incantation which made the resurrection of the new candidate something more than symbolic. more..Our Friend Fireplug's site.

Kamose was raised as the first candidate following the murder of his father, but he only lived 3 more years at which time Moses took over as the young Ahmose was not ready to lead an army.

Some say that in the 12th century, the Knights Templar dug up sacred scrolls and substantial quantities of treasure in secret passages under Herod's Temple, and began to practice the rites mentioned in the ancient scrolls, which they believed to be the purest form of Christianity before it was contaminated by Roman mystery religions. Among these was the tale of Hiram Abiff, which would be a garbled echo of the story of Seqenenre Tao. After the Templars were suppressed in the early 14th century, their traditions spread in secret in proto-Masonic societies that are the forebears of modern Freemasonry.

The theory goes that the true Egyptian kings like Sequenenre Tao and his predecessors possessed knowledge of a secret ritual that was supposed to create a king by allowing the king-to-be to commune with the gods and gain from them his right to rule. Apophis and the previous Hyksos pharoahs never had knowledge of this king-making rite, and as Apophis could feel his authority slipping, he wanted it desperately. So he enlisted his new Grand Vizier to come up with a plan that would allow him to obtain these secrets. He turns to Joseph, who was vizier around 1600 - 1598 B.C.E.

Sometime before the completion of Solomon's temple, the legend has Hiram being brutally attacked and struck three times with 3 different objects by 3 ruffians who's names are Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum, who demand that Hiram reveal to them the secret 'Master's Word'. Confronted at each of the Temple's exits, each time he refuses. The last blow to his head with a heavy stone maul killed him. The moral of the story is that Hiram would rather die than break his oath to his fellow Masters not to reveal 'the word'.

The newly revised ritual says the wounds Hiram receives--to the head, throat, and heart--are said to represent the spiritual death imposed on humanity by the forces of tyranny and superstition: the head wound represents the death of thought, the throat wound signifies the suppression of free speech, and the wound to the heart implies that human feelings disappear when they are denied free thought and free speech.
Widow's Son 2 has the origional ritual.

As the legend continues; The body laid unattended to for several days. Men from Soloman's Temple found it and symbolically 'raised' the 'Master' from the dead. This ritual is thousands of years old and goes back to Horus, son of Osiris being born of a widow after Osiris was murdered. The 'Masters Word' at that time was used by Isis to revive Osiris....In this instance, and according to The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas,.... after Sequenenre was murdered the 'Word' was lost. Only 3 people had it, the two High Priests and the King. The two priests are murdered after they also refuse to divulge the 'word'.

In the final degree or third degree Hiram is 'raised' from his grave by the Master in a special way. This does not represent the resurrection of Jesus in any way shape or form. This is a 'spiritual awakening', a realization, if you will, of the reality of Life After Death. We know the Egyptians used magical incantations and ritual in much the same way to insure their King reached the 'Afterlife'. These rituals were never written down, but were passed on by word of mouth only and the initiate or candidate took an oath never to reveal what he was taught, least he die a terrible death.

It just so happens that the mummy of Sequenenre Tao II, 17th dynasty of Egypt, has three different and very distinctive wounds to it's skull. Florensic science has not only identified the objects that killed him but the position he was in when he was killed and it was not on the battle field. The wounds on Sequenenre's head match exactly those described in the legend of Hiram Abiff. The mummy, the florensic evidence and an overview of the Royal line of Egyptians are on Widow's Son 2 and 3.

Hiram Legend; "After the death of Hiram Abiff, the two kings resolved not to visit the Vault, nor communicate the ineffable Name, until they found a successor. But Adoniram, Joabert, and Stolkin had discovered Enoch's cube of agate, so these three Masters were initiated into this sublime degree in the Sacred Vault, and taught the true pronunciation of the Word.
see The Three Grand Masters.

THE THREE RUFFIANS
There are many symbolic explanations for the appearance of these three ruffians in the ritualistic work. Their attempt to obtain the secrets not rightfully theirs, and the dire consequences of their actions, are symbolic of many things. Trying to obtain knowledge of Divine Truth by some means other than a reward for faithfulness, makes the culprit both a thief and a murderer. Each of us is reminded that rewards must be earned, rather than obtained by violence or devious means. The Ruffians are also symbolic of the enemies we have within us: our own ignorance, passions and attitudes, which we have “come here to control and subdue”.

While there probably are some actual stone-workers who are Masons, Masonry does not teach it's membership the literal techniques of stonework. Rather, it takes the actual 'operative' work of Medieval Masons and uses it as an allegory for moral development. Thus, the symbols of Masonry are the common tools that were used by medieval stonemasons: the gavel, the rule, the compass, the square, the level, etc. Each of these has a symbolic meaning in Masonry. For example, Masons are said to meet 'on the level', meaning that all Masons are brothers, regardless of social status, personal wealth, or office within the Lodge or in the world at large. Similar symbolism exists for other tools."
- Andrew Fabbro, Freemasonry FAQ Version 1.2

The Secret Word

...The Masonic Word was first instituted to serve a strictly "operative" aim. That was to distinguish masons who were members of their trade organization, and to enable them to claim, at need, benefits in the way of employment and relief.

The Masonic Word served to protect trained masons (and their families) against claims and competition from untrained stoneworkers, or "cowans," and from entered apprentices, who had not yet completed their training. In modern times, the secret work of the Masonic lodge is less important as a literal safeguard, but the symbolic protection remains.

The mysterious Ineffable Name of the divinity which is invoked seems to be the center of moat of the ancient and even modern Magic. By knowing that Name, which is assumed to be the name by means of which the world was created, the man or exorciser in Egypt pretended to constrain the god to obey his wishes and to give effect to his invocation if called by his true name; whilst in Chaldea the mysterious Name was considered a real and divine being, who had a personal existence, and therefore exclusive power over the other gods of a less elevated rank, over nature, and the world of spirits.

The legend has it that Hiram Abi 'initiated' Solomon into the 'secret knowledge' (the word) after 3 workers found a golden stone in the lower deeps of the foundation of the temple. This stone had the name of the true God engraved on it. Of cource that name was 'secret' and was at the time only known by the men who discovered it besides King Hiram, Hiram Abiff, and Solomon. The other men were Adoniram, Joabert, and Stolkin.

In Egyptian magic, even if the exercisers did not understand the language from which the Name was borrowed, they considered it necessary to retain it in its primitive form, as another word would not have the same virtue. The author of the treatise on the Egyptian mysteries attributed to Jamblichus maintains that the barbarous names taken from the dialects of Egypt and Assyria have a mysterious and ineffable virtue on account of the great antiquity of these languages. The use of such unintelligible words can be traced in Egypt to a very great antiquity. Around the world, the Creator's name is spelled and pronounced differently. Freemasonry is non-sectarian.

"The Second or 'Fellowcraft' Degree of Freemasonry gives very little knowledge to the candidate but it does introduce the idea of 'hidden mysteries of nature and science' and makes a clear reference to what is called the 'Galilean Heresy'."
- Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

York Rite Masonic Ritual: A. "That it was the book of the law in which it was written, I am the Lord, I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and Jacob by the name of God Almighty, but by my great and sacred name was I not know unto them."

Today in the Masonic Ritual, this word is still lost so a substitute word was formed to be used until the real one could be rediscovered. From The Hiram Key; The words of Kamose reflect the invention of this substitute word after his father Sequenenre Tao II was murdered in 1554 BC.
"The elders prepared new substituted 'secret words and rituals'. Then Kamose stuck a finger in the air at Aphophis by changing his name to 'Wadj-kheper-re', meaning, 'Flourishing is the Manifestation of Re', meaning "you Failed".
Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas,The Hiram Key, page 141.

"And the Spirit came to him in haste when it raised him. Having given its hand to the one lying prone on the ground, it placed him firmly on his feet, for he had not yet stood up. He gave them the means of knowing the knowledge of the Father and the revelation of his son. For when they saw it and listened to it, he permitted them to take a taste of and to smell and to grasp the beloved son". Sound familiar?..
from The Gospel of Truth in the Nag Hammidi scrolls.

On Hiram Index 1, from the Book of Jasher we have a story about Moses and The magical Sapphire rod of Elohim. So the 'staff' of Aaron was even more powerful than the bible admits. And this proves that magic was used by Elohim (God).

Again, at this stage we go back 6000 years to 'the source', Egypt.

On our "Initiaite" page we find similarities that make Osiris the murder victim in the origional ritual. "In the middle of the chamber in the Great Pyramid was a sarcophagus, the coffin of Osiris, bearing traces of blood. He (the candidate) was told that Osiris had recently been assassinated and was questioned as to wheather or not he had any part in the murder."

Secrets of the Pyramid of Gaza

Various Arab legends state that the Pyramid was built by (Enoch) Hermes before the Flood to preserve knowledge of the secret sciences. There was even a 'secret door' to get inside the pyramid. The door swivels and is attuned to a tone or sound which opens it. Not many people know about this secret door but someone has been inside and revealed marvelous things.

The secrets are connected to Science

As regards the Great Pyramids at Giza, the first things that must be abandoned are that the assumptions that we have inherited from previous generations are factual. The linchpin of all existing theories regarding the Great Pyramids at Giza is that they were built by Pharaohs as tombs. If they were built as tombs for Pharaohs, they are the only ones completely devoid of interior decoration of any kind. That a proud Pharaoh would expend the resources to construct such an edifice without leaving any inscription, statuary, frescos, artifacts, or other documentation of their lifetime behind in their eternal monument is ludicrous. Common sence... see This! The Open Cheops Challenge
(His comment) Idiocy is being defined by those who continue, at this late date, to identify these great structures as tombs for Pharaohs.

It is reported that when the pyramid was first broken into that the swivel door, weighing some 20 tons, was so well balanced that it could be opened by pushing out from the inside with only minimal force, but when closed, was so perfect a fit that it could scarcely be detected and there was not enough crack or crevice around the edges to gain a grasp from the outside.

In his bookThe Sign and the Seal, Graham Hancock revealed that a 'tone' would open the door to the pyramid. This Site also reveals the secret rooms.

Symbolism: Inside the octagon we see George Washington, a Freemason, presiding over the Capital Cornerstone laying ceremony. The wooden tripod in this ceremony, the Freemasons call a Lewis. Researcher Ralph Ellis believes that this device is descended from a similar one that would open and shut the Great Pyramid of Giza. This cuboid stone, used in the corner laying ceremony and suspended by a lewis, is thus a representation of the plug of a door of a pyramid. The idea of the cornerstone implies that Christ is a part of the foundation, but its most important, visible part, the part which binds the walls.

The original pyramid entrance was located on the north face, about 49 feet above the base and 24 feet east of the central axis of the north face. see Pyramid Stats. The Pyramids mirror the Orion Constellation. The pyramid positions on the ground are a reflection of the positions of the stars in the constellation Orion circa 10,400 B.C. We find a connection between Enoch and Orion.. Explained in Graham Hancock's Book The Message of the Sphinx. Co-author Robert Bauval researched this theory.
also see Intro page 3 - Enochs 'Keys of Knowledge'.

Lets take this one step at a time, beginning with ACOUSTIC LEVITY as an actual PHYSICAL PHENOMENON rather than a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment. The lewis used in freemasonry is a visible material force which lifts the White Cube up off the ground. Symbolically this is interpreted as exerting its Dominance over the (C)ube, an identical phenomenon to that which happens in music theory where the Dominant G major chord creates tension surrounding the Tonic of the Key of C.

Most people can only get inside the Pyramid through a 'blasted out opening' which doesn't lead to the secret chamber inside. On some of the walls and ceilings of the four kings chambers crude hieroglyphs were found, daubed in red paint, which are thought to have been added by the work-crews. The inscriptions included two cartouches (royal names enclosed in an oval) -- 'Khufu' and 'Khnum-Khufu' -- and Egyptologists saw this as confirmation of the tradition that the Pyramid was built for the pharaoh Khufu. The above date and information refutes this theory. An 'Inventory Stella' made by Khufu and hidden from public view in the Cairo Museum also refutes the story. You will see this on Hiram Intro Continued.

The authenticity of these masons' markings has also been challenged by Zecharia Sitchin, who argues that they were forged by Howard Vyse and his assistants in the hope of gaining fame and fortune. He claims that the hieroglyphs are ungrammatical and misspelt (with the sign for 'ra', the supreme god of Egypt, being written instead of 'kh'), that the cursive script in which they were written dates from a later era, and that they were copied (complete with mistakes) from standard contemporary works on hieroglyphics. This argument has been repeated by several other writers. However if one holds to this theory it disallows admittance or research on any Egyption site as it disagrees with standard Egyption archeology. Head archeologist Hawass and American egyptologist Michael Lehner claim the pyramid was built by Khufu. No other view is exceptable.

In the Bodleian Library at Oxford there is a manuscript in which the Coptic author Mas-Udi asserts that the Egyptian King Surid had the Great Pyramid built. Oddly enough, this Surid ruled in Egypt before the flood. And this King Surid ordered his priests to write down the sum total of their wisdom and conceal the writings inside the pyramid. So, according to the Coptic tradition, the pyramid was built before the Flood.

Herodotus confirms such a supposition in Book II of his History. The priests of Thebes had shown him 341 colossal statues, each of which stood for a high-priesty generation over a period of 11,340 years. Now we know that every high priest had his statue made during his own lifetime; and Herodotus also tells us that during his stay in Thebes one priest after another showed him his statue as proof that the son had always followed the father. The priests assured Herodorus that their statements were very accurate because they had written everything down for many generations, and they explained that every one of these 341 statues represented a generation. Before these 341 generations the gods had lived among men, and since then no god had visited them again in human form. Is King Surid actually Enoch?

The historical period of Egypt is usually estimated at about 5,500 years. Then why did the priests lie so shamelessly to the traveler Herodotus about their 11,340 years? And why by did they so expressly emphasize that no gods had dwelt among their for 341 generations. These precise details would have been completely pointless if “gods” had not really lived among men in the remote past!

We know next to nothing about the how, why, and when of the building of the pyramid. An artificial mountain, some 490 feet high and weighing 6,500,000 tons, stands there as evidence it an incredible achievement, and this monument is supposed to be nothing more than the burial place of an extravagant king! Anyone who can believe that explanation is welcome to explain it...

The truth is - Real people lived at the time of the Pyramids, ie. 10,400 BC. and they were far advanced in knowledge. One was Enoch - also called Thoth. (according to Sumerian texts) Rule over Egypt given to Thoth (Sumerian Ningishzida, son of Enki/Ptah), followed by Maat and ten other divine rulers.

"Here he was divested of his mortuary garments and received instruction on death and resurrection. He was then given the sign of the degree, a form of embrace, and the password. The knowledge associated with this degree was artistic, concerning drawing and painting. He was also taught the hierogrammatical alphabet, the history and geography of Egypt, the fundamentals of astronomy and the art of rhetoric."

"The candidates who aquired a satisfactory knowledge of the lesser mysteries, and practiced the rites of the third degree satisfactorily for a minium of eighteen months, could then be selected for admission to the first of the greater, spiritual mysteries. This was the fourth degree, which was regarded as the Alpha and the Omega of the pathway to Truth and the Will of God. This opening up of the higher self, or transmutation, was celebrated with great solemnity and ritual at the dual centers of Hermopolis and Akhenaton."

All this led to the now revised initiation of a new Mason. With this we see there is certainly more to learn and it sounds like Egypt is where we need to start.

When we began our quest, we were already interested in Egyptian culture and we had already read Graham Hancock's book Fingerprints of the Gods, which left us wanting more information. So we read his The Sign and the Seal. Then we read Message of the Sphinx. After that everything began to make sence. Masons of the 16th and 17th century had the same idea and they already knew what we were about to find out. Egypt has everything to do with Masonic secrets, the "Initiates" and the "Mystery Schools" of ancient societies.

The Masonic so-called secrets are not only complicated and cover a wide range of subjects but also contain facts that are revealed in ancient texts that were written up to 5000 years before any bible or Koran appeared on the scene. Church fathers will say these stories are myth but with all the new information available to us, we can now say they are actually history lessons.

Myth once replaced truth because the truth for the church is too dangerous. The texts contain dates and places and the same people as verified by scripture only they are written in cuneiform, hieroglyphs or the language of the country in which they were found..

When we get to the Knights Templar Page we find a messenger and three other people were killed when he tried to smuggle a secret book called Le Serpent rouge from the castle at Rennes-le-Chateau out of France to Germany. The three people were Fakhar ul Islam, Louis Saint-Maxent and Piere Feugere. All found dead between February 20 and March 7, 1967. The book in question contained poems. But it also contained references to the Blanchefort family, to the decorations in the church at Rennes-le-Chateau, to some of Sauniere's inscriptions there, to Nicolas Poussin and the painting of Les Bergers d'Arcadie, and to a motto on a tomb, " Et in Arcadia Ego".

Masonic tradition: Our version

Since the dawning of time men have searched for immortality. Why, because at one time the gods bestowed this as a gift on certain 'chosen' mortals. There are only five in the Christian faith that we know of who were given this gift. But what we forget is, these men were NOT Christians, Muslims or Jews in that time and place. One was Seth, Adam's third son, Enoch then Noah - Moses and finally Jesus. However the christian 'faith' doesn't mention this proclaiming Jesus to be the only one admitted. There are more.

The raising of Hiram symbolizes how a man can be raised to a perfection and understanding of one's self that is only available in this life. This comes from an ancient Egyptian ritual wherein a dead king was raised to an area beyond the Earthbound plane of consciousness and into a life of immortality. It is a spiritual awakening. This has nothing to do with Jesus' resurrection as some have been misled to believe.

"They have told us for wrong, that we are not gods. Every being is part of god, because of this, spiritual things have no location and no time; god is not an idea, it is a consciousness, not grasped by the mind."

If you can accept that the God we refer to as the true God is the God of all people, then you will be able to find the answers to many questions here. Some of those questions pertain to the contridictions we find in many religious writings.

That is what makes Masonry unique. Since Masonry is not a religion, as individuals we can look in many places to seek answers. As individuals, (And since this is a private non lodge connected site) we have tried to show no prejudice against anyone for what they believe. Religious Tolerance is the key to finding and understanding many hidden secrets.

So, to be blunt: The archaeological evidence does not agree with KJ biblical text in several instances. So you have to ask yourself; Are you willing to read religious history from a different viewpoint - An archaeological viewpoint that is literally 'written in stone'? These are backed up by offsite links connected to the text or the unbiased scholerly review of the finds.

You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in. — Arlo Guthrie And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. — John 1:5 We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. — Plato

We are not all scientists but at the same time we do not listen to dogmas that restrict our natural curiosity or our search for knowledge. On this web site, we are using the King James Bible and other books, scrolls and tablets to look for more facts that support the story but go into much more detail - like, where did Cain and Abel's wives come from? And who was the Pharoah of the Exodus?
Details about the Nephilim.

Be advised that this web site is not like any other Masonic web site on the net. We present Esoteric knowledge. Esoteric knowledge is that which is specialised or advanced in nature, available only to a narrow circle of "enlightened", "initiated", or highly educated people. The term esoteric first appeared in English in the 1701 History of Philosophy by Thomas Stanley, in his description of the "Auditors of Pythagoras." The Pythagoreans were divided into "exoteric," which were under review, and "esoteric," which had performed well enough to be admitted into the "inner" circle. The Essenes studied Pythagoras. The Essenes have everything to do with Jesus.

A variety of past traditions could be classified as forms of "esotericism" due to their similar "inner" focus as well as their "selective" and "secretive" nature.

Please keep in mind that most of the esoteric information we present here is not found in lodge work, except for the curious words found in the 'focus' of the degrees. But why the words are there in the first place leaves many unanswered questions. We present the 'Focus' of the Degrees on a seperate page. The publishing of these degrees was first committed to being open to the public in 1955 at the Library of the University of Deleware, permitted by the Supreme Council, 33' ( Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, USA ) These are from a Manual for Officers of Subordinate Bodies of the A.A.S.R.F.

We are taught from childhood that Faith is a positive trait, but it is not. Faith inherently assumes that we should accept something that may or may not be true. Then, it will become "true" through Faith. It will not. We may be lucky (or make a fortuitous guess) but Verification, not Faith, is what deserves our trust.

With this in mind, we woundered how the God of the Jews and the God of Abraham who is also important in Islam, could also be the (Christians) God. Under the 'FEAR and OBEY' tags he is indeed the Jews, Muslims and the Christians god. That means there is indeed a secret that Jesus wished to be revealed to mankind in an Age of Reason and Understanding that wasn't present in the 30's AD..

This is the Age of REASON, Understanding and Logic. What we discovered makes perfect sence and it distinguishes the difference between the TWO GODS we found in Genesis.

The Gospel of Thomas; 1. And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."
2. Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]"
5. "There is nothing buried that will not be raised up!"

"For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose."

If we are to understand why God wanted to destroy mankind, and why there are many different religions, we must investigate this material more thoroughly. Man's knowledge began with building skills and the art of metallurgy. The early church used this to condemn science and force man into the 'dark ages'. However the Books of Enoch indicate God wanted men to know the skills and He instructed Enoch to pass them on to his sons so that only righteous men would know them. This is the origin of 'the Craft'....This is how Masonry began.

The Initiation into the 'Light' continues on the next page.

This picture holds the Key. The rituals have been changed and the story behind them is somewhat different, but the Word, the real Word and the WAY to the 'Light' has not. God's rays of LIGHT are available to everyone who will seek them.

Now enter by Way of the 'Light' (click on it) and go back in time to 1554 BC.

Matthew 13:35, "I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

To the first time viewer: We apologize for the length of some of the pages. We have cut several of them down recently. Occasionally we change URLs' when unauthorized parties link. Following our pages in the order they are presented is necessary to form a complete picture of the ancient past, include commentary of other writers, quote ancient sources and connect the history of one era to the next.

This site is written in story form and may be easier to follow if viewed in that manner. For those unfamiliar with the tradition we present, we offer our 'Forbidden knowledge' pages. These lay the background for the rest of the work. We encourage reading the 'Forbidden' pages and the first three of the 'Passage forward' pages before going on to other pages. You will not gain an understanding of the real Hiram until you read the "Light" page which follows Passage page 3. And there are three 'hidden pages'. For this reason there is no 'next' or 'previous' and no side bar navagation menu to these pages.

Our other reason for not including all the page links here is; A Mason must ASK to be admitted to the Lodge, he must ASK to be admitted to the higher degrees. So you also must ask for further light by continuing with the many pages in this site. There is a Site Map and other links after the first two introduction pages of each series which include forbidden 1 and 2, The Widows Son 1 and 2, and Passage Forward 1 and 2.
