Full Version: Masonic lodge discovered
Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Unexplained Mysteries > Ancient Mysteries & Alternative History
In Olleria, a village near Valencia, experts have been restoring the old wall paintings. And they are sure to have discovered a unique masonic lodge.
You can "visit" the house here.
The house belonged to the Marau family. They have been investigated, and several members have been discobered to have relationships with known freemasons.

So, just because an old owner had relationships with Freemasons, this makes THIS house a Masonic Temple??
Ummm, try again.
Its like saying that since I am friends with several Baptists, my house is a Baptist Church.
In the links to the left, it does mention some stuff about the Seven Liberal Arts, which have been used by Freemasonry as teaching examples, but to assume that the house was a Temple, you are REALLY reaching.
To me, it looks like the guy may or may not have been involved in Freemasonry or at least was educated in Liberal Arts, and used the iconagraphy for those Arts to decorate his home.
Ummm, try again.

Don't even think I'm an expert on this house-logia thing, I just read it in the newspapers. What I meant was that after the experts who restored the house thought the iconography was freemason themed they investigated the family (to see if they could find anything to back up their theory), and they found some actual connections with people who are known to have been masons.
To me it's just an interpretation line but, still, interesting enoigh.
