EP 92 Patriarch Theory Part 3: Ancient Fitness, Noah, Giants, and Freemasonry

Did Freemasonry come from the Patriarchs? In this episode of Masonic Muscle, we continue Part 3 of the Patriarch Theory in the 12 origin theories of Freemasonry. I also begin exploring the history of physical fitness by reading from “The History of Physical Fitness” by Erwan Le Corre, published through The Art of Manliness. Where did physical fitness come from? How did our ancient ancestors stay strong? Were hunter-gatherers physically superior to modern men in some ways? And why are more Brothers not training their bodies to become strong pillars of their families, lodges, and society? This episode solves one Masonic Muscle problem: How can Masons explore ancient origin theories and ancient physical culture without losing sight of the duty to become stronger men today? We discuss: the Patriarch Theory of Freemasonry the 12 origin theories of Freemasonry ancient physical fitness hunter-gatherers and natural movement Erwan Le Corre and the history of physical fitness Göbekli Tepe and ancient sacred structures Noah, the Flood, and the Noachides Genesis 6 giants, Nephilim, and ancient myth traditions Gary Wayne’s The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Sasquatch Chronicles biblical prophecy, mythology, and ancient epics the Bible, Gnostic texts, Qur’an, Bhagavad Gita, Gilgamesh, and other ancient sources astronomy, geometry, and the Seven Liberal Arts why origin research belongs to all serious Masons, not only scholars This episode is not about pretending every ancient claim is proven. It is about learning how to explore. A Mason should be able to ask hard questions without losing his mind. He should be able to examine Genesis, Noah, giants, ancient temples, secret society claims, sacred texts, and Masonic origin theories without becoming gullible or dismissive. That is the work. And while we examine the ancient world, we cannot forget the body. Our ancestors moved, hunted, lifted, carried, climbed, ran, fought, built, and survived. Modern men sit, scroll, complain, and get weak. That is not acceptable. If Freemasonry is about making good men better, then better should include the body, the mind, the character, and the spirit. If you have heard of another theory about the origins of Freemasonry, send it to me and I will share it with the listeners. This research does not belong only to scholars and professors. It belongs to all of us. Write to me at: [email protected] Follow Masonic Muscle on Instagram: @masonicmuscle Follow Masonic Muscle on Facebook.
