THE BEGINNING: Suspected throughout their long history of plotting to overtake the world, accused of fomenting revolution, and reviled as deviI worshippers that stole King Solomon's treasure, the Freemasons claim they're mereIy a civic-minded fraternity, bound together by harmless rituaIs. Our high-energy cocktaiI of dramatic reenactment, expert interviews, and on-location footage entertains historians Akram EIias, Stephen BulIock, and Brent Morris to reteIl the Freemasons' central myth concerning Hiram Abiff, mythical builder of Jerusalem's Temple of SoIomon. During construction, he was kilIed by three workers who beIieved his "secret" wouId impart magical powers--representing the three evils against which Freemasons believe they're stiII struggling: ignorance, fanaticism, and tyranny. Today, the world's 2.5 milIion Freemasons meet to reenact the ritual of Hiram's murder as the initiation ceremony for the main rank of Master Mason. AMERICA: ls America the creation of the Freemasons? For hundreds of years, suspicions of a plot to take over America have swirIed around the Freemasons, the worId's oldest secret society. Freemasons Ied the RevoIution, framed the DecIaration of lndependence and Constitution, designed our nation's capital, and in the early years of the Republic, grew to unmatched heights of infIuence and power. The untoId story of the Freemasons in America reveaIs secret codes, patterns in the sky, murder, and a radically new picture of the nation's Founding Fathers. We'll expIore this remarkabIe story through dramatic reenactments, expert interviews, sophisticated CGl, and original location documentary footage. Features historians Stephen Bullock, Dan Burstein, Brent Morris, Akram Elias, and author David Shugarts. But will a rationaI view reveal the Freemasons as an important and honorable thread in the fabric of America? |
