Based on the scholarship of Egyptologist and cultural historian Anthony Browder, This study tour will familiarize you with the architecture, symbolism, philosophy, and mythology of the ancient Nile Valley (Egypt/Nubia), and show you where elements of these disciplines can be found throughout the District.

We will decode symbols, discuss the influence of Masonry, and show you America’s secret acknowledgment of ancient Africa’s contributions to civilization, as well as how one of its most powerful organizations has used this knowledge to empower themselves and become successful.

Ancient Egypt culture and civilization influenced the entire world and its presence is easily detected today as well. Both Classic Greece and Roman civilizations, which are given credit as being the parents of Western Civilization's intellectual and Scientific knowledge, learned all they knew from the Ancient Egyptian Schools.
