1. They have a tomb replica...
The mummy king returns! Oh wait, that's Danny.
Where's the mummy?2. It's like little Cairo
3. The Museum was founded and is run by the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis.
What is the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis you might ask? Well it's all very interesting.
*AMORC was founded by Harvey Spencer Lewis in 1915 to re-establish the Rosicrucian Order to the Americas. The term Rosicrucian describes a secret society of mystics, allegedly formed in late medieval Germany, holding a doctrine "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm." The association traces its origin to Ancient Egyptian mystery schools that they claim studied a wide variety of mystical subjects. The oral accounts they provide holds that these schools were founded during the reign of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tuthmosis III and included among their most esteemed pupils Pharaoh Akhenaten.
Throughout history Rosicrucianism claims...
*To have come to the Americas in the 1690's but died out due to persecution (perhaps witch hunts??)
*Been known as the illuminati
*To have been key players in the French Revolution...Napoleon Bonaparte was a believer
*To have Ron L Hubbard (Scientology founder), Walt Disney, and Corporate America as advocates.
* On June 22, 1916 Lewis turned zinc into gold through "transmutation" in front of an audience. Although, "while the necessary materials weren't hard to obtain, transmutation wasn't cost-effective; buying elemental gold was more sensible."
The museum was founded after Lewis' tour of Egypt where he collected various artifacts with mystical symbolism. It now has the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the western US.
Where do I sign up??
After our day of learning we went back to the hotel to hang by the pool. Yes...we had to vacate our apartment due to the construction. Might as well take advantage of the mini vaca.
