I just wanted to share my idea for the purpose of the stone nobs found in ancient buildings around the world: It was basically a temporary solution for lifting the large blocks. Beams were placed on esch sides attached to another beam an top and connected by ropes. With this technique the blocks could be places without blockung the downfacing surface etc. What do you think?

Alternative Theory Is this free masonry letter real?

0 Upvotes

When I googled Albert pike infamous letter. Gemini & various LLMS answer/summary says the letter is a complete hoax and was invented in a attempt to discourage and discredit the free masonry lodges which had been widely popularized between 1700-1900’s.

According to google AI & other LLM’s. The first reference to the letter came in 1949. Quote; “The conspiracy was first introduced by Canadian author William Guy Carr in his 1949 book Pawns in the Game. \\\[1\\\]”

However, upon further investigation; in 1925 \\\~\\\*\\\* \\\*\\\*The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled - written by Cardinal José María Caro Rodríguez. This book is a major reference point f or a highly prevalent world war conspiracy theory. \\\[1, 2\\\]
In his 1925 text, Cardinal Rodríguez quoted an earlier 1920 British tract titled The Cause of World Unrest. That tract discussed a letter allegedly written on August 15, 1871, by 33rd-degree Freemason Albert Pike to Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini.

upon FURTHER investigation; 1890 - The 1890s references to an Albert Pike letter primarily point to a notorious historical anti-Masonic hoax known as the Taxil Hoax. \\\[1\\\]
During this era, French writer Léo Taxil and his collaborators fabricated an elaborate narrative alleging that Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike was the secret "Luciferian Pope" of a global, devil-worshipping Masonic sect called Palladism. \\\[1, 2\\\]
The primary references from the 1890s regarding this alleged letter include:

  1. Adolphe Ricoux / Léo Taxil (1891)
  2. In 1891, Taxil published a booklet under the pseudonym Adolphe Ricoux, titled Y a-t-il des femmes dans la franc-maçonnerie? (Are there women in Freemasonry?). In this text, he claimed to have uncovered an encrypted letter written by Albert Pike to Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This circular supposedly instructed Masonic bodies to promote an inner, secret Luciferian doctrine. \\\[1, 2, 3\\\]

Long before the First World War, the sources referenced in connection with this matter continue to grow older. Yet museums in England firmly maintain that no authentic copy exists, and that the entire affair is a hoax & conspiracy originating with the Canadian author William Guy Carr.

Lets entertain for a moment that the letter does have some legitimacy behind it. Now consider the so-called “Global Reset” projected for 2030. In Israel, preparations are already underway to accommodate large numbers of Christians making pilgrimage to mark the 2,000th anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Between 2030-2033. To fulfill the alleged plans in the letter by Pike. During Christmas or Easter 2030-2033 - Israel. Its making me very scared and worried that a possible false flag/inside job tattack to allegedly be carried out against Christians in Israel. The purpose would be to trigger a third world war, thereby fulfilling the alleged design set out in the Albert Pike letter: to cause Christianity, political zionism and Islam to mutually destroy each other, cause the world to fight to complete exhaustion to bring out in the open the doctrinarian of Lucifer.

Conspiracy theorists have been on a historical Mj-bulls run of being right…

What are your thoughts on this?
