The Arcana of Freemasonry (1915) - The Masonic Trowel

exist amongst some of the priests in India and
elsewhere. Capt. Charles Serres, many years ago,
brought me back one of these " sacred Bibles "
from the Burmah priests ; it was written in the old
Zend on flattened pieces of bamboo, about two feet
long and three inches wide. The whole work is a
copy of some parts of the Ritual of Egypt somewhat
perverted. I am of the same opinion as
Mr. Leith, that in future years— at the time of the
next glacial epoch— Egypt will be the centre of
civilization again, and all those lands and people
of the Sumarians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians,
Greeks, and Romans, which nations rose and fell
in the above order, will rise again and a fraternal
bond "
will unite them with their old mother
home." But it will not be until these islands
are covered with glacial ice and snow, when
the whole Northern human race is driven South
again, as far as latitude 56 (as it had been many
times before). Then, after the glacial epoch has
passed away, the remains of the present humans,
and their works, will be rediscovered by a future
generation. What Great Masonic Temple will be
left to the world? The first and greatest of all—
The Great Pyramid of Egypt.
