A long, illustrated study tracing the symbolic continuity between Egyptian temple initiation and the symbols, rituals, and degrees of modern Masonry. The rough and the perfect stone, the apron and the sacred garment, the lost word and the unutterable Name, the resurrection of Hiram and the resurrection of Osiris, the orientation of the temple to the cardinal points, the three pillars of the Lodge and the three regions of the Egyptian afterlife. Hall argues that the Lodge is the lineal heir of the Egyptian mysteries.
