One of the world's oldest brotherhoods, Freemasons have included kings, presidents, writers, and philosophers. Freemasonry explores the obscure and uncertain origins of Freemasonry and examines the validity of claims surrounding its early association with the Temple of Solomon and the Knights Templar. It also explains the rituals and practices of Freemasonry, which have been viewed as variously obscure, pointless, baffling, and even sinister.
