   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  J_Harshaw | Feb 27, 2022 |   I also have a soft spot for this book as I was reading it in conjunction with Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, which is not only an extremely concise and informative text on the Abrahamic cults, sects and religious orders since time immemorial but also the greatest piss-take thereof. So yes, I would recommend Hiram Key, but do yourself a favour, and if you have the patience, and read Foucault's Pendulum. (  ) sebdup | Dec 11, 2021 | Therefore, I found this book to be an interesting and plausible account of the history and origins of Freemasonry. However, there is very little in the way of serious scholarship here -- no citing of sources, no bibliography, and some of the leaps they take and the connections they make are giant steps indeed. So, the book is entertaining, plausible as far as it goes, but unless some further discovery is made, still extremely speculative. ( ) TheGalaxyGirl | Aug 6, 2021 | There's some entertainment to be had in "Hiram Key" but to be honest Knight didn't sway my beliefs around the Freemasons. (  ) MiaCulpa | Oct 29, 2019 | An interesting study of the history of Freemasonry, but they allow their speculations to get more than a bit wild. Nice pictures of the inside of the chapel though.

Otkriće da je najvažnija inkantacija slobodnog zidarstva, govoreno još u starom Egiptu, bila je tačka preokreta šestogodišnjeg traganja za korenima izgubljenog Poretka. Kris Najt i Robert Lomas, obojica slobodni zidari, po njihovim rečima, upustili su se u istraživanja porekla masonstva. U središtu njihovog istraživanja je zagonetna ličnost, Hiram Abif zidar Solomonovog hrama, čija je smrt opisana u istoriji masonstva, mada se ne pominje u Starom zavetu. Istražujući ritual postavljanja kralja, praktikovan u Starom Egiptu četiri hiljade godina, i niza događaja od Tebe do Jerusalima, kao i otkriće jednog ubistva iz 1670., pored otkrića da Hiram nije nikakva mistifikacija, već stvarna ličnost, istraživači su došli do novog viđenja istorije Zapada. Zapadni svet se, po uvidima autora, razvio na staroj filozofiji sadržanoj na tajnom sistemu, koji je isplivao na površinu u tri ključna momenta u poslednje tri hiljade godina.

Was Jesus a Freemason? The discovery of evidence of the most secret rites of Freemasonry in an ancient Egyptian tomb led authors Chris Knight and Bob Lomas into and extraordinary investigation of 4, 000 years of history. This astonishing bestseller raises questions that have challenged some of Western civilisation's most cherished beliefs- Were scrolls bearing the secret teachings of Jesus buried beneath Herod's Temple shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman's? Did the Knights Templar, the forerunners of modern Freemasonry, excavate these scrolls in the twelfth century? And were these scrolls subsequently buried underneath a reconstruction of Herod's Temple, Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland - where they are now awaiting excavation? The authors' discoveries shed a new light on Masonic ceremony and overturn out understanding of history. No library descriptions found. |

I need to revisit this book. There was a lot to like about it, though as I recall, there were also some points that were hard to accept. (
