The Freemasons were a fraternal organization formed in the late 16th or early 17th century who were responsible for transporting an Apple of Eden to the New World, carrying it across the sea.[1]
The Freemasons moved around in tunnels beneath Boston and New York City. To unlock their exits, Ratonhnhaké:ton analyzed Freemason documents to find clues to the arrangement of symbols formed by their magic lanterns.
During the American Revolution, some of the most prominent leaders of the revolutionary forces and the Continental Army were Freemasons.[2]
Trivia
- According to the lead writer of Assassin's Creed III, Corey May, the game will have a very accurate depiction of the Freemasons.
- Interestingly enough, the Freemason symbol bears some resemblance to the Assassin Insignia.
