The History of the Masons

There's a lot of competing theories of where the masons came from. But this one holds a little bit of credence for sure because they still part of their rituals involve the story. King Solomon's Temple in 967 BC was built in Jerusalem by stone mason Heerim Abif. The word Mahabon means the grand lodge door opened, and it is the password that they use to enter the third degree of masonry.
