introduced by his predecessor Akenhaten <strong>and</strong> that his tomb, uniquely, in the Valley of the<br />
Kings was discovered almost completely intact -- the most complete ancient Egyptian tomb<br />
ever found. As Tutankhamun began his reign at such an early age, his vizier <strong>and</strong> eventual<br />
successor Ay was probably making most of the important political decisions during<br />
Tutankhamun's reign."<br />

108 ..."Brothers of the Snake"...<br />
"It cannot be overemphasized that the serpent or snake plays no role in the teachings or<br />
ritual of regular Freemasonry. Its introduction as a fastener for masonic aprons is easily seen<br />
as the work of regalia manufacturers. That said, the symbolic usages of the snake are of<br />
interest to students of religion, esoterica, <strong>and</strong> of history.<br />
On the other h<strong>and</strong>, George Oliver writes that the serpent is a "significant symbol in<br />
Freemasonry : Moses' rod changed into a serpent, "<strong>The</strong> serpentine emblem of Masonry... is<br />
a bright symbol of Hope; for the promised Deliverer will open the gates of Heaven to his<br />
faithful followers by bruising its head, <strong>and</strong> they shall enter triumphantly, trampling on its<br />
prostrate body." "A striking emblem of Christianity triumphant; <strong>and</strong> bearing an undoubted<br />
reference to the promise made to Adam after his unhappy fall." In mainstream Christian<br />
beliefs, the snake represents temptation <strong>and</strong> evil: the snake is the servant of Satan. But it<br />
has also had its more positive significance.<br />
In ancient Egyptian mythology the world was created by four powers, one of which was the<br />
sun god Amun-Ra who took the form of a snake <strong>and</strong> emerged from the water to<br />
inseminated the cosmic egg, the kneph, which was created by the other gods. In another<br />
story, a god named Hathor transformed himself into a poisonous snake called Agep <strong>and</strong><br />
killed Seth. He also guarded the wheat fields where the spirit of Horus was said to live,<br />
bringing the sheaf of wheat to be regarded as the symbol of rebirth. W. Bro. H. Meij suggests<br />
that this is the root of the masonic usage of an ear of corn in the Fellowcraft degree.<br />
In Greek mythology Zeus freed two eagles which met at the centre of the world, sometimes<br />
called the navel of the earth, which is guarded by a snake called Pytho. <strong>The</strong> symbol Serpens<br />
C<strong>and</strong>ivorens, a snake biting its tail, represents the unending cycle of nature between<br />
destruction, <strong>and</strong> new creation, life <strong>and</strong> death. <strong>The</strong> Greeks called this figure Ouroboros.<br />
Chinese mythology maintained that the world was surrounded by two entwined snakes,<br />
which symbolized the power <strong>and</strong> wisdom of the creator. In another legend the Buddha was<br />
attacked by a snake which bound itself seven times around his waist. Due to the inner<br />
strength of the Buddha, the snake could not kill him but instead became his follower.<br />
Astrologers, or those interested in the historical development of astrology, will point out that<br />
some systems include a thirteenth sign of the zodiac known as Ophiuchus Serpentarius, the<br />
Serpent Holder. This constellation lies between Sagittarius <strong>and</strong> Libra, somewhat over<br />
Scorpio. In the sixteenth <strong>and</strong> seventeenth centuries this constellation was called Alpheichius.<br />
Known as the "God of Invocation", this house was named after the legendary healer,<br />
Ophiuchus (Asclepius). <strong>The</strong> two serpents in his h<strong>and</strong>s later replaced the twin ribbons around<br />
the caduceus which became a symbol for physicians."<br />
