Product Description
The discovery of a “New World” beyond the Atlantic launched a frenzy of dreaming in Europe during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Soon, everyone from Shakespeare to the philosopher on the street corner had a theory about the meaning of America. Among the most farsighted (and dedicated) of these visionaries were the Freemasons, a secret society which cherished the hope of building a “New Atlantis” in the Western Hemisphere. Secret Mysteries of America: The Untold Story presents a startling alternative to the textbook history you got in school, examining the behind-the-scenes role played by organizations like the Masons and the Illuminati in developing the structure and the iconography of the United States. Along the way, you’ll learn everything you never knew you needed to know about that one-eyed pyramid on the dollar bill, the Druidic foundations of Washington D.C. and a host of other peculiar “coincidences”! Packed with meticulous research and interviews with respected commentators from all sides of the question, this series provides all of the information you’ll need to decide whose “American Dream” you’re living in!
