Hiram Abiff, the True King of Egypt, 1554BC

Masonic legends say that Seth, Adam and Eve's son was the first human to have 'building skills'. Seth was some how connected to the Egyptian evil God Set. These two are in no way connected but the old terminology stuck. Seth was also called 'the crocodile'. The Crocodile King turns up in the predynastic era of Egypt. These people were also called the SHEMSU HOR.

The KJ Bible relates that men had corrupted themselves and men's thoughts had become evil in Genesis 6:5. Genesis 4:20-23 relates the tools and musical instruments made by Tubal-Cain and Jubal which were made before men became evil. Man couldn't have survived without these skills. We even see that God made 'garments' for Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:7.

The art of 'making' or building something is called a 'craft'. Stone work is one of the oldest crafts and it is mentioned in the Egyptian Book of the Dead as well as the bible. The word 'mason' is used to describe the builders of monuments and statues as well as the huge stone structures found in Egypt. Written language was once a craft as was the art of reading. These learned men were the scribes of the temples or for the king. These skills all refer to the ancient 'craft guilds' of the Masons. There once was a 'Master' who taught these skills to all the 'initiates'. An initiate was one who wished to learn a skill by degrees - a little at a time. One had to initiated into a skill.

But there were deeper mysteries. Mysteries that once connected all the people under a single religion. This religion was combined with all the sciences. Somehow this one religion became many as the beliefs of the people changed. Science was excluded and the truth became even more shrouded in mystery. Men lost touch with God. People became obsessed with material things. Men lost sight of the ultimate goal of all mankind...to return to God.

Freemason's secrets lie in the libraries of ancient and historical books and manuscripts around the world,...and most especially in the Holy Books of all the major religions...the Bible, the Torah, the Veda, the Koran and others.

From the Sumerian texts: "Ka-in’s son's son's son (great grandson), Enoch, who succeeded Ka-in in the fourth generation of Ka-in’s descendants, married two of his own sisters, Adah and Zillah." In the KJ Bible this applies to Lamech, (Lu Mach) Genesis 4:19. One of Adah’s sons, Jubal, begat a line of musicans who played lyre and flute music. Who taught them about 'music'?

The Scribes; Fact: The stories about our beloved bible heroes were copied from earlier texts.

This is what we refer to as esoteric knowledge. That is 'forbidden' or 'secret', only known to the selected kings and 'priests' chosen by the Gods to rule over the people. This knowledge was passed on to every king and priest since the time of Adam. The people who couldn't read or write made their own assumptions while the people who could - wrote history...to suite their own agenda.

Where did the story of Cain and Abel come from?

In the age of Pisces, beginning in 60 BC, the balance of forces was shifted to the god that causes war and hate and sickness. There is another and He isn't Lucifier or anything related to a devil or evil doer. The ancient tales and poems of Enki and Enlil relate who is the 'savior god', the one that warned Noah of the Flood and saved mankind. He taught men the skills necessary to survive in a civilized world. This God is the God of Jesus, the one we have never really known. When the age changes to Aquarius in 2100, we will know him.

Hiram Abiff and the so-called secret word of a Master Mason

The three Grand Masters mentioned often in the rituals concerning the building of the Temple are: Solomon, King of Israel; Hiram, King of Tyre; and Hiram Abiff. In early times, some religions regarded Deity in three aspects. The secrets known only to these Three Grand Masters typify Divine Truth, which was known only to Deity, and was not to be communicated to man until he had completed his own spiritual temple. Once these secrets were attained, a man could reap the rewards of a well-spent life, and travel to the unknown country toward which all of us are traveling. Tyre, by the way, means stone or rock. The legend of Hiram

The King of Egypt (Seqenenre) lived at Thebes/Luxor while the ursurper government of Joseph under a 'pharoah' called Aphophis 1541- 1540BC, lived at Avaris/Memphis. The dates of rule match perfectly with that of Ahmose, the youngest son of Seqenenre Tao. Avaris, by all archaeological accounts became pi Ramses but only after Ramses became a King, but that was 200 years later than the Seqenenre murder. see The Middle Kingdom (bottom of the page) of Egypt by Dr. Kelley Ross. There is alot more evidence to back this theory up including stellas written by Ahmose which cover the 'destruction' and imprisonment of the Hyksos/Hebrews.

So in agreement with Knight and Lomas, in our view the story of Hiram Abiff is copied from the murder of Seqenenre. We also find Moses fits very neatly into this timeline and other archaeologists started to agree with Knight, Lomas and us when in 2006, a Jewish Canadian archeologist named Simcha Jacobovici made a film about the explosion of the Santorini volcano in 1550 BC. The show Exodus Decoded was viewed in the US on the History Channel on August 20th. It repeats periodically.

Jacobovici suggests that the Exodus took place around 1550 BCE during the reign of King Ahmose I, and coincided with the eruption of Santorini that most scholars believe ended the Minoan civilization. In the documentary, the plagues that ravaged Egypt in the Bible are explained as having resulted from that volcanic eruption, and a related limnic eruption in the Nile Delta. While much of Jacobovici's archaeological evidence for the Exodus comes from Egypt, a surprising quantity comes from Mycenae, on mainland Greece. More about the evidence on The 10th plague and others.

After this revelation we uncovered many discrepencies and less than accurate stories by biblical writers whose only goal seemed to be keeping you from finding out what really happened as far as the Hebrews are concerned....Like the REAL story of Nimrod. Chances are the story has been changed at least ten times since it's conception. We are convinced that since the Sumerian texts have been around for more than 100 years (1876), theologians and the clergy have had plenty of time to make corrections but it seems they refuse to do so. Even more disturbing is the fact that they will not acknowledge these texts even exist. What does that tell you?

What does this have to do with the Christian condemnation of Nimrod who is a Masonic hero, an architech, a builder of ancient cities? If you read any of the Atrahasis Epic, You saw a god named Enlil who was making the Igigi work. Everyone including his own subordinates (Igigi-gods) were under his 'slavery'.

The city of Akkad was probably situated on the west bank of the Euphrates, between Sippar and Kish (in present-day Iraq, about 50 km (31 mi) southwest of the center of Baghdad). Despite an extensive search, the precise site has never been found. It reached the height of its power between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC. But it may be much older than that. This was once the biblical 'Eden'.

Akkad is mentioned once in the Tanakh—Book of Genesis 10:10: "And the beginning of his (Nimrod's) kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."

Here is one legend related of a rival king named Sargon who also served Enlil. In neo-Assyrian times it says that, "My mother was a changeling (?), my father I knew not. The brothers of my father loved the hills. My city is Azurpiranu (the wilderness herb fields), which is situated on the banks of the Euphrates. My changeling mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose not over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was gardener Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and (fifty?) ... years I exercised kingship."

How closely this parallels the stories of Romulus, Bacchus, Osiris, and that of Sargon who, preceding Moses by two thousand years, laid the foundations of civilization for the first Semitic empire. Inscribed on fragments of Babylonian tile:
Sargona, the king of Akkad am I.
My mother was a princess, my father I did not know.
My mother, the princess, conceived me, in difficulty she brought me forth.
She placed me in an ark of rushes, with bitumen my exit she sealed up.
She launched me in the river, which did not drown me.
The river carried me, to Akki the water-carrier it brought me. . . .

As a rule the real family corresponds with the humble one, the noble family with the fictitious one. In the case of Moses something seemed to be different. And here the new point of view may perhaps bring some illumination. It is that the first family, the one from which the babe is exposed to danger, is in all comparable cases the fictitious one; the second family, however, by which the hero is adopted and in which he grows up, is his real one. The Jewish people in Egypt were certainly not without some kind of religion, and if Moses, who gave them a new religion, was an Egyptian, then the surmise cannot be rejected that this other new religion was the Egyptian one. see The Moses myth

Water is one of our oldest symbols. The water-wave glyph [illustration] is found in every land, representing the Great Deep, Chaos, Wisdom, and also Universal Mother: Mary, mother of Jesus, Maya, mother of Buddha, etc. see Moses and Those 'Horns'

Exodus 2 gives no name for Moses' mother or father and as you can see, this is a 'copied' or borrowed account of Sargon. With that, what we discovered does not agree with theological dogmatists who say Nimrod committed a great sin by rebeling against God. That tale leaves out the real truth. He did rebel against a God but the story has a different god in mind than the one the scriptures portray as YHWH. Josephus recorded what really happened in his Antiquities of the Jews.
We have the real story on Forbidden Knowledge forward 1

This gets even more confusing when we see several names for God; like Jehovah, El Shaddi, Yehwah, El, Elohim, Lord, YHWH, ect. Why all these names for the 'one' God?

The story of Nimrod does infact suggest another God, a God that was mean and cruel and wanted men to be nothing more than slaves to 'The Gods'.....more than one! If you have read Genesis 1:26 or 3:22 lately you saw the word "US" or 'WE' or 'OUR'. In particular in the story about the tower of Babel, we see it again in Genesis 11-7; "Let US go down and confuse their language..."Who is "US"?

Jesus said: Matthew 13:35, "I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

Up until the book, no one would have ever considered that Joseph, a biblical hero might be on the wrong side of a story. But when it was discovered that Set(h), the evil brother of Osiris was the God at Avaris where Joseph lived - questions arose that we still can't answer. And to even imagine that the Hebrew Holy book that became our bible hides a secret - was shocking to say the least. But it's all there. Archaeological evidence backs our discovery up 100% plus a journey through several other noncannonized books and the sources provided below.

(The Hyksos) Their god is said to have been Seth..."
- Siegfried Morenz, Egyptian Religion

"[The Hyksos king] Apophis took to him Sutekh [Seth] for lord and served not any god that was in the whole land save only Sutekh [Seth]." He started a war with Seqenenre Tao II whose God was Horus.
- Sallier Papyrus , I, I, 2-3

After the Hyksos were driven from power, many remaining in Egypt were enslaved. "This would place Joseph's rise to power under the Hyksos and make Ahmosis the Pharaoh who 'know not Joseph'."
- David Daiches, Moses - Man in the Wilderness

We know that the Hyksos worshipped the god Seth, the evil brother of Osiris. The term "children of Seth" signifies worshippers of Seth, or Hyksos. Therefore the references to the Amalekites and to the children of Seth by Balaam reveal the identity of these two designations telling us that the Hyksos were the Amalekites. [See D. Woolley in KMT Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 4, Winter 1999-2000, p. 6]

In disagreement with the statement of Alan Gardiner on the priests at On, and according to the opinion of Dr. Courville that 'the last 50 years of the 5th Dynasty overlap with the 12th Dynasty, who say, "We ought to recognize that there were priests at Heliopolis/On during that time. On that basis then it could very well be that the ancient city of `On' was a place of activities during 12th Dynasty times. Therefore, the biblical assertian that the father-in-law of Joseph was a `priest of On' should exclude the possibility that Joseph lived during Hyksos times (since they only worshipped Seth)". .....But it doesn't.

At this point we must understand that those people we call today the Hyksos were not called that by the Egyptians themselves. In the records of Ahmose we simply read:
"One besieged the city of Avaris, I showed valor on foot before his majesty..." "Now after his majesty had slain the Asiatics..." [Breasted, `Records', Vol. II, Sec. 8, 14]

A part of their population was allowed to depart. Josephus said the `Shepherd-kings' were the Israelites, and he was right in placing their history into the time of Thurmosis, a name not far removed Thutmosis. "...But Josephus says this is a woman. see Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews... upon his dispair of taking the place by that siege, they came to a composition with them, that they should leave Egypt ..." Josephus, `Against Apion', Bk. I, Sec. 14. But the battle was not yet over and won by the besiegers afterwards.

At the time the book came out many Masons had a problem with this theory because biblical scholers placed the Exodus in the 13th century and no one could imagine that Joseph would be aligned with the Hyksos pharoahs.. However recent archaeological evidence has been broadcast in a three hour event called "Exodus Decoded." This evidence has since been reviewed by several other scholers and they all agree, the Exodus took place in the 17th dynasty of Egypt, 15th century, when Seqenenre Tao's son Ahmose ruled.

Proving Jacob or Joseph had something to do with the murder of Seqenenre was a bit more challanging but here's where it starts in the KJ bible at least.
In Genesis 49: 6., Simeon and Levi, Joseph's brothers are cursed by Jacob for their cruelty and the fact that they killed a man... omiting his name. Jacob tells the other brothers to stay away from them and he wants no part of their " wicked plans"..."Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly..,"
This is never explained and that seemed a little odd to us.
