What was different back then?
What was different back then?
I may be mistaken, but I was taught that the original members of what became the Masonic Lodge were actual stone masons in England. Men who built churches with brick and stone.
I believe that is just a cover story friend. It is true that many have learned construction secrets through freemasonry, and that many construction companies are led by freemasons, however I see that as a correlation not a causation. The mystical side of the order extends beyond typical stone masonry. In ancient egypt you can see the same parallel where secret knowledge helped build the pyramids, but the construction is only a part of the mystery.
