Format:Paperback
This is one of the great key-stone books of the popular history/religion genre.
The Hiram Key combines an interesting review of the history with some compelling theories, fascinating new ideas, and informed speculation.
The book is essentially a review of the mysterious history of freemasonry in the light of information from ancient Egypt and Christian scripture. A revised version of historical events is proposed, and some intriguing solutions offered to some unanswered questions.
The authors argue their points so confidently that the less sceptical reader might be convinced by everything they read. The purpose of this text is to present a new theory, rather than consider the opposing arguments. The reader should explore other sources for additional evidence to balance the author's arguments.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in secret societies, history, or religion - especially freemasonry, ancient Egypt, Christianity, or the knights templar.
You'll enjoy reading this fascinating book and perhaps learn a little bit of history too.

Format:Paperback
This is the first of a series of 4 books co-authored by Lomas and Knight. As with all their books it is very well written and extremely well researched. It is also controversial to say the least but with their arguements so well made and backed up with so much evidence you will end up being convinced of their theories.
Although this book started out as a look into the history of Freemasonary it actually turns into a close look at the bible and makes you totally re-evauluate your views on Christianity. Jesus may not be who we think he is.
One word of warning though, you need to be open minded! If you are a staunch Christian you may find it a difficult read. On the other hand if you enjoy it you will want to read their other books which continue their research.

Format:Paperback
Other reviews convey the sense of astonishment I felt when I first read this book. It really is shattering and can change the whole way you look at life, history and Christianity. However, to me the book has a fatal flaw. Each step in their argument (from modern freemasonry back to the king-making ceremonies of Ancient Egypt) seems reasonable in itself, but there is a lack of hard evidence to link the whole series of suppositions into a convincing theory. What is stated as a possible or even likely supposition on one page becomes an undisputed fact on the next, and stages of the argument are built up in this way. This is not good scholarship, even if it makes a very readable and exciting book. All the way through reading it, I wanted to shout "how do you know that?" or "prove it!" I think there is a lot of truth in what the authors say, and I think they have stumbled on a very interesting line of enquiry, but I am not yet 100% convinced. Having said all that, it's still a fantastic book that will change your life, and I recommend it to every thinking person. Freemasons especially will find the book of interest, as Grand Lodge seems to discourage this kind of research for people genuinely interested in the history of the Craft.

excellent read
This is an excellent read, but sometimes very deep. It helps if you have a basic understanding of the content of the book too.

Where is the Bibliography?
I find this book very good! It uses a lot of knowledge, and makes some new conclusions, that probably should have been made years ago. Read more
