Yes, I have jumped on the bandwagon. With the rest of the world I too am reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. In fact I had my book in my “hot little hand” by 8:10 am on Tuesday ( I did get the store opened before I made my purchase) and then went straight home after work and started reading. So far so good.
Robert Langdon is again caught up in some diabolical plan that could change the world as we know it!!! He has been “tricked” into coming to Washington DC under the guise of giving a lecture at the US Capitol Building but his night soon takes a turn when an ‘object’ decorated with 5 symbols shows up in the rotunda. Langdon realizes the object as an invitation “into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom”. Peter Solomon, Langdon’s mentor, has been kidnapped and Langdon knows the only way to save his friend, who is also a prominent Mason, is to accept the invitation and delve into the secret world of the Masons, mysterious history and hidden locations in our nation’s capitol, Washington DC. This is the only way to find the truth.
I’m sure when I finish The Lost Symbol I will have many questions regarding the Masons and our Founding Fathers(who were all Masons) and the Freemasonic roots of the United States of America. So I have a list of books that I think will help me and you (if interested) with further research to unanswered questions.
Freemasonry: Symbols, Secrets, Significance by W. Kirk MacNulty
American Gospel by Jon Meacham
Occult America: The Secret History of how Mysticism Shaped our Nation by Mitch Horowitz
