Everyone and their sisters and brothers are waiting for the release of Dan Brown’s next book – December 2006, if we can believe the rumors – but we do know that it’s going to be called The Solomon Key, referring to Kryptos Sculpture at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and that it deals with the Freemasons – or, more formally, the Free and Accepted Masons: a secret society with about five million members, mainly in the U.S. and the English-speaking world. American freemasonry is older than this country, and many of the Founding Fathers, including Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and George Washington were masons – and eager readers are already picturing Robert Langdon racing against the clock again, this time in the streets of our nation’s capital rather than Paris. Quick – anyone know anything about the Masons? Are they really as evil as some people say?
In The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Freemasonry, an expert author reveals the truths and dispels the myths that have surrounded the Freemasons for hundreds of years:
v Were the first masons 14th-century stone masons and cathedral builders, or can Freemasonry really be traced back as far as Egypt, Babylon, and Palestine?
v The Masonic insistence on the belief in a Supreme Being
v The Masons and the Knights Templar
v True or false: the Masons coordinated the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution.
v How are Masons initiated, and exactly what goes on in a Masonic lodge?
v What’s the difference between the York Rite and the Scottish Rite, and are there women and African American Freemasons?
v The Masons in the streets of Washington, DC: a tour
