"The oldest roots of Freemasonry stretch back to the Nile, where priest-architects combined ritual, astronomy, and mysticism into an initiatic science. Egyptian Masonry preserved in its symbols the journey of the soul through death and resurrection—secrets later veiled in the legends of Hiram and the Temple."
— Albert Churchward – The Arcana of Freemasonry
the Great Architect of the Universe, who formed humans as rough stones to be worked into perfect blocks for the cosmic Temple
