The "Triptych" (three-in-one) architectural pattern on Mormonism's Salt Lake Temple is a hidden memorial to the "Lost Secret of the Freemasons."
The Triptych symbolizes a prehistoric Universal Religion that conveys mystical, ancient knowledge regarding the secrets of human evolution and the keys to spiritual awakening.
Most Mormons, scholars, and LDS leaders don't realize this. But a brief look into the history of the Triptych—a history not yet discovered by archaeologists—provides us with some initial clues:
#1) In The Beginning: Triptych temples were built by the earliest civilizations, the "pyramid" cultures:
Among some of these pyramid cultures, like the Mayans in Mexico, for example, the buildings of entire cities were emblazoned with Triptych facades—irrefutable evidence that the Triptych held a deeper meaning:
#2) In the Middle Ages: As the pyramid cultures died out—after the rise of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—Triptychs were encoded into the facades of Europe's medieval churches, castles, and Gothic cathedrals.
This work was accomplished by the "operative" Freemasons who built these medieval sacred structures. But why did the Freemasons use Triptychs?
Did these Masons—a so-called "Secret Society" of spiritual / mystical builders—inherit the Triptych and the Universal Religion from the ancient pyramid-building cultures?
Were these Freemasons seeking to preserve the Triptych and the Universal Religion by embedding it into the buildings they created?
#3) Today: Triptych temples grace the facades of Secret Society headquarters, from the "speculative" Freemasons to the Skull & Bones to the Shriners. Even Oddfellow buildings display Triptych architecture in their facades:
THE MORMON CONNECTION TO FREEMASONRY
Shaped like a Triptych, the Salt Lake Temple was conceived in 1847 by Freemason Brigham Young (predecessor of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith):
Salt Lake Temple. 150 stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and artisans worked on the granite-sandstone structure from 1853 to 1893.
It is extremely well-documented that Joseph Smith was a Freemason; so was his brother Hyrum. Many other members of the LDS church, like Brigham Young, were Masons before they joined Mormonism. |
