The Hiram key : pharaohs, Freemasons and the discovery of the secret scrolls of Jesus

Was Jesus a Freemason? The discovery of evidence of the most secret rites of Freemasonry in an ancient Egyptian tomb led authors Chris Knight and Bob Lomas into an extraordinary investigation of 4, 000 years of history.

This astonishing bestseller raises questions that have challenged some of Western civilisation's most cherished beliefs: Were scrolls bearing the secret teachings of Jesus buried beneath Herod's Temple shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans?

Did the Knights Templar, the forerunners of modern Freemasonry, excavate these scrolls in the twelfth century? And, were these scrolls subsequently buried underneath a reconstruction of Herod's Temple, Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland - where they are now awaiting excavation?

The authors' discoveries shed a new light on Masonic ceremony and overturn our understanding of history.
