No its far more ancient. Although the Templars were Masonic. Its believed it originated with the Pyramid builders and the sacred principles of geometry. They were also thought to have built Solomans Temple. Fasinating history, very mysterious.

cool, I will catch up on my readings about the Mesopotamians
venusenvy: Its loaded with Masonic symbols and the eye atop the pyramid is the all seeing eye. It goes back into ancient Eypyt, where I think the Masonic brotherhood originated. But of course the founding fathers of America were Masons so its no big surprise really
Actually the Masons most likely grew out of the Templar Order!
read the Book,and it makes some interesting reading!
Well, I get the whole "blood line" theory, but I believe they are far far older. Perhaps they were not known as "Masons" in ancient times, I believe they started with the cult of Osirus. and the original stone masons. They have remarkable similar imagery. ( sorry my inner geek is peeking out)

Roslin Chapel is only about 10 miles from me. I've been many times to gaze over it's amazing architecture. The video explains the links with the Masons and Templar Knights.

Really? Roslin chapel has always been something I would love to see or should I say experience
venusenvy: No that was the King of France. And thats exactly what it was, political manipulation to get out of debt. Very similar to the French revolution many years later...I always thought that was karma. They say the Templars created the banking model that modern banking is based on.

Hope you get it up and running properly again soon ....
There is great mystique about this place, not that I am religious in anyway as you know. Allegedly there is a secret chamber below the crypt where the Holy Grail is hidden. The story goes that the Templar Knights hid it here on their flight from Europe before they departed for Newfoundland / Nova Scotia, can't remember which.

The Holy Grail myths are facinating. I also think part of the mystery is in Etheopia.
