Why could this man be the founder of Freemasonry?
Tiberius Claudius Babillus... A name lost in the shadows of the Roman era. Official history portrays him only as an astrologer and scientist.
Under his leadership, a secret brotherhood was born: the Mithraic Brotherhood.
Rituals performed in underground temples, 7-stage initiations, symbols, secrets, vows of silence...
Sound familiar?
Did modern Freemasonry really begin in London in 1717?
Or were its foundations laid in the Mithraeums of Rome under the leadership of Babillus?
The same G symbol, the same sun cult, the same narrative of cosmic journeysโฆ
And remember: Babillus's family was connected to the Serapis cult in Egypt. The secret structure that emerged when Hellenistic wisdom, Persian mysticism, and Roman discipline merged traced its path for a thousand years.
Until... modern Freemasonry.
Now ask again:
Was this man merely an astrologer?
