Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus FROM OUR EDITORS
When the authors embarked on a private research project into the origins of Freemasonry, little did they know they were beginning an historical odyssey that would lead them to the true teachings of Jesus and the Jerusalem Church. Comparing ancient Egyptian, early Christian, and Masonic texts, Knight and Lomas have uncovered startling similarities among the rituals of these cultures. Painstakingly, they have reconstructed the lost story of Jesus and his brother James, examining their ties to Freemasonry and to a radical Messianic sect; the development of the Church into a political entity with little connection to the historical Jesus; and the role of the Knights Templar in preserving Jesus's true teachings. Finally, following clues from Masonic ritual, they have located the secret scrolls of the Jerusalem Church, hidden in a reconstruction of Herod's temple built by the first modern Masons more than 500 years ago in Scotland. Black-and-white illustrations.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Hiram Key is a book that will shake the Christian world to its very roots. When Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, both Masons, set out to find the origins of Freemasonry they had no idea that they would find themselves unraveling the true story of Jesus and the original Jerusalem Church. As a radically new picture of Jesus started to emerge, the authors came to the startling conclusion that the key rituals of modern Freemasonry were practiced by the early followers of Jesus as a means of initiation into their community.
