As the eighteenth century drew to a close, the imminent explosion of Egyptological studies was gathering momentum. One last, curious episode in this story should be noted before moving on, however, and that is the rise of Freemasonry as a political and cultural force.
While Freemasonry became a highly political movement at the end of the 18th century it was clouded by cranks and obsessives, but nonetheless there are details that are beyond dispute. Much of the impetus of the enlightenment was accentuated by the role of Freemasonry on science, culture and politics.
During this remarkable time in history most major figures in history were either mason or influenced by Freemasonry and all masons were Egyptophiloes. The Masons claimed that they drew their beginnings from Egypt and made these claims by pointing to Egyptian texts and an lineage dating to the Egyptian priesthood.
The former Egyptian temples were re-established as Masonic lodges and decorated with Egyptian symbols, including the hieroglyphs; Also included were the other phenomena such as the pyramid and the "all seeing eye" of Horus on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and dollar bill.
That Masonic Freemasonry flourished under the imperial rule of Napoleon is a matter of conspiratorial theory and record record, but it remains uncertain that he himself was a Mason. Nonetheless, Napoleon was know to use Masonic - Egyptian emblems in his protocols.
On May 19, 1798 the time was ripe for Napoleon to spread the theory of Egyptophila on a massive scale. Napoleon set sail from southern France for Egypt to launch his campaign and thus his invasion of the land of the Pharaoh's. This became one of the most important dates in the history of the Great Pyramid.
