Product Description
"Riddles In Stone: Secret Architecture of Washington, D.C.", will continue to explore the fascinating history behind the origins and focus of the world's most powerful nation: America. Why was this nation founded? How was the precise location of Washington, D.C., determined? What is the meaning of the seemingly countless occult images in our nation's capitol? Volume II zeroes in on the Masonic & Rosicrucian influence so prevalent amongst our Founding Fathers as they planned, and began to implement, the layout of America's Capitol. For years, extreme controversy has abounded as to the exact meaning of the occult symbols found within the street layout, the buildings, and the monuments of Washington, D.C. Is there really an inverted Pentagram formed by the street layout just north of the White House? We have discovered the esoteric reason why this Pentagram is missing one segment. Was this city laid out to reflect the vision of a Masonic Christ foreseen by Sir Francis Bacon? Is it true that America's capitol was laid out "according to the stars", i.e., in the astrological shapes of certain planets and stars so revered by occultists? Why did our Masonic Founding Fathers perform "Corn, Wine, and Oil" ceremonies at cornerstone layings and at the dedication of the finished structure? Does this occult "wisdom" represent the interests of America, or a hidden agenda? As with Volume I, this "Secret Mysteries" series will continue to explore current -- and possibly future -- events by examining America's past. What can these realities mean for the unfolding destiny of America and the world? Now you will know that, when President Bush said he was fulfilling the "Ancient Hope" of the "New Order of the Ages" (as we show in Volume I), he was merely acting out the plan reflected in the street layout and in the architecture of Washington, D.C. 3 hour video

5.0 out of 5 stars More powerful than Part I, July 3, 2007

By	thechrisaccount (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Most viewers strongly disagree with the idea that "Riddles in Stone" is less impressive than "The New Atlantis." On the contrary, "Riddles" is said to be the best documentary ever produced on Freemasonry and the influence of secret societies in America. This influence is revealed through the architecture of Washington D.C., but this only forms a backdrop for the filmmakers to expose the occult nature of Masonic philosophy. Most impressive are the contrasting interviews with Freemasons and other members of arcane societies alongside those who criticize Masonry for having a hidden agenda.

One can hear from their own mouths what the Masons and esoteric groups really believe -- and their answers will shock you. If you want to learn the difference between "conspiracy theories" and REAL history, see this film. The visual evidence presented in the architecture, street layout, and various monuments in Washington D.C. are undeniable. Also, the film is the only documentary I've ever seen that actually explains why there is an "unfinished" pentagram in the street layout north of the White House. The evidence comes from Masonic sources -- all of which is very well documented.

There is also a very informative section on President Bush, the Skull and Bones Society, and how the Bavarian Illuminati may have influenced the design for Washington D.C. But most insightful is info. on the book, "Fire in the Minds of Men" by Dr. James Billington (the current Librarian of Congress) who documents the influence of the Illuminati on the revolutionary groups of the 18th-20th centuries. A clip of President Bush saying that his administration has lit "a fire in the minds of men" becomes very telling -- once the full context is presented.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars All The Way!, June 23, 2007

By	Timothy Wright - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have you ever wondered about the symbols and architecture in Washington D.C? What do they represent? Did Freemasons have any influence? Riddles in Stone addresses these questions. Experts from both points of view provide detailed information that tells a very compelling story about Americas' capitol. After seeing Riddles in Stone, your view and understanding of Washington D.C. will be changed forever.

While I agree that Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings: The New Atlantis - Volume 1 was done well. I must respectfully disagree that Riddles in Stone is "not up to par". Where are the specifics to that charge? I found Riddles Vol II to be superior in presentation than Vol. I. Watch Riddles in Stone and make up your own mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Informative and Convincing, May 5, 2007

By	Ryan Page (Fort Dix, New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was by far one of the most convincing and detailed documentaries I have seen. By showing both sides along with esteemed experts on both aisles of the debate, the truth shines through the muck in a way that is hard to argue. For anyone who wondered about all the strange symbols on our currency and in Washington D.C.; or wondered what the purpose of the founding of America was all about, this is a MUST-SEE!
