The explosion of Egyptology entered an accelerated stage at the end of the 18th century, and continued on for some years. But coincidental with the rise of the studies of the pyramid was the emergence of Freemasonry as a political and cultural force
The precise origen of Freemasonry and its entrance and import into the world, although highly shrouded by cranks and obsessives, was influential and played an extremely significant role in affecting not only the political world, but also the scientific, and caused remarkable changes in the cultural world as well.
Most of the ruling elite of Europe were all Masons or at least influenced by Freemasonry. The Masons in general were all initiated into the ancient mysteries of Egypt and laid their claims to the sacred rituals handed down from an unbroken Egyptian priesthood, as well as their documentation from existent Egyptian texts.
The Masons establishing the Egytpian temples as their lodges used the Egyptian symbols as the decorum on their walls; even using the hieroglyphs which were a highly misunderstood language. They also included phenomena such as the pyramid and the "all seeing eye" on the reverse seal of the U.S. 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.
The time was ripe for the theory of Egyptophilia to be carried into practice on a massive scale. And so on May 19, 1798 (a most important date in the modern history of the Great Pyramid) Napoleon sailed from southern France to launch his invasion of Egypt.
