Suspected throughout their long history of plotting to overtake the world, accused of fomenting revolution, and reviled as devil worshippers that stole King Solomon’s treasure, the Freemasons claim they’re merely a civic-minded fraternity, bound together by harmless rituals. Our high-energy cocktail of dramatic reenactment, expert interviews, and on-location footage entertains historians Akram Elias, Stephen Bullock, and Brent Morris to retell the Freemasons’ central myth concerning Hiram Abiff, mythical builder of Jerusalem’s Temple of Solomon. During construction, he was killed by three workers who believed his “secret” would impart magical powers–representing the three evils against which Freemasons believe they’re still struggling: ignorance, fanaticism, and tyranny. Today, the world’s 2.5 million Freemasons meet to reenact the ritual of Hiram’s murder as the initiation ceremony for the main rank of Master Mason.
