George Washington, Paul Revere and Ben Franklin were all members. So were Mozart and Duke Ellington. The Freemasons are the world's most famous secret society, a nearly 400-year-old organization whose influence is the subject of intense debate and a favorite subject of conspiracy theorists worldwide. Forever claiming they?re merely a civic-minded fraternity bound together by harmless rituals, the Freemasons have long been reviled as devil worshippers, accused of provoking revolution, and suspected of plotting to take over the world. In MYSTERIES OF THE FREEMASONS, dramatic reenactments, expert interviews, sophisticated CGI, and original location documentary footage transport viewers back to the time when Freemasons led th e Revolution, framed the Declaration of Independence, designed our nation?s capital and, in the early years of the Republic, grew to unmatched heights of influence and power.
In this program, renowned historians Stephen Bullock, Dan Burstein, Brent Morris, Akram Elias, and author David Shugarts (?Secrets of the Widow?s Son?) retell the Freemasons? central myth concerning Hiram Abiff, mythical builder of Jerusalem 's Temple of Solomon . During construction, Abiff was slain by three workers who believed his ?secret? would impart magical powers representing the t hree evils against which Freemasons believe they?re still struggling: ignorance, fanaticism, and tyranny. And, today, the world?s 2.5 million Freemasons meet to reenact the ritual of Hiram's murder as the initiation ceremony for the main rank of Master Mason.
