5 The World's Most Ancient Secret societies (Photo)
(9 years ago)There is something about secret societies that prevent us from believing and being amazed at the same time. Even if we don't have the interest to be part of such a society, we can't help reducing our curiosity to know as much as we can about them. We see [...]
We view them as a faceless bloom hiding in the shadows, detecting the ways of the world and quietly enslaves most of human society through their cunning schemes and careful plots.
This negative view of secret societies has come mainly based on our natural care of everything covered with mystery and perpetuated by dozens of conspiracy theories for these organisations that have been born over the years, reports the “BeonndSciencev”, Contact Periscope.
1. ILOMINATION
Perhaps the most popular and notorious secret society on this list is considered to be the Illuminati, historically known as the bavarez Illuminati, a secret society of free thinkers formed during the time of Enlightenment in the late 18th century. It was founded by Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776, and its objectives were to reduce the influence of superstition and religion on public affairs, and to stand against those who abuse state power.
2. TH E FREEMASONRY
Frankmasoneria is a secret society whose presence is still widespread worldwide since it was founded in London in 1717. They refer to God as “The Grand Archocytic of the Universe”, and they are known to use different architectural symbols. They strictly respect a ritualized style in holding their meetings and are said to be taught secret signs and handshakes that will help them identify other Masons.
3. TH E ROSCRUCIAN ORDER
The Rosicrucian Order was founded by Christian Rosencreus at the beginning of the 15th century. This secret society is considered one of the oldest. The official symbol of this mystery society is a rose on the cross.
4. TH E KASH
Also known as Ismailis Nizari, Hasashi was an enigmatic order consisting of Muslim killers operating during the medieval period in the Middle East. This secret organisation was formed by Shiite Muslims who separated themselves from a larger sect and decided to form a coalition at the end of the 11th century in hopes of building a Ottoman Shiite state. Nizar did not have a large army so the group had to use different tactics as psychological warfare and orchestrating murders to fulfill their intentions to defeat their enemies.
5. TH E BETHREN OF PURYTY
The oldest and most mysterious society on this list is the “The Brethren of Purity”, which was formed around the 8th or 10th century by Muslim philosophers in Barsa, which is located in modern Iraq. There is little known about the structure of this organization as well as the identities of its members in the past. In any case, they may have been followers of Shiism a branch of Islam that maintains the belief that the prophet Muhammad had chosen Ali ibin Talib to replace his position./Periscopi/
