Describe the
significance of “Illuminati” as a symbol.
Ancient document
described the Illuminati as an ambigram- ambi meaning both, signifying that it
is legible both ways. All common ambigrams are through symbology like the cross
or the Yin Yang: but for a word to be crafted into an ambigram seemed
impossible. Many symbologists tried to forge the word “Illuminati” into a
perfect symmetrical word but failed miserably.
What does the word
Illuminati mean?
The word Illuminati means the enlightened ones, an ancient
brotherhood that showed scientific proofs. It started with a group of people
fighting against the church who were some of Italy’s enlightening men-
physicists, mathematicians, astronomers. They began to meet secretly to discuss
about the concerns they have about the church belief threaten the academic
world.
Who was the most
revered member of Illuminati?
Galileo was the most revered member of the Illuminati. He
persuades the Illuminati to not create violence against the Church because he
was a pacifist. He proved that the sun was in the center of our solar system
not Earth.
Describe the new
Illuminati. How are the new Illuminati
different from it origins?
Over the years, the Illuminati began to gather more members.
This continued until a much darker Illuminati formed into a deep anti-Christian
Illuminati. They grew very powerful and vowing that someday they will take
revenge of the Catholic Church. They grew so powerful that the Catholic Church
considered them as the single most dangerous anti Christian force on Earth. The
new Illuminati is different than the origins because the at first the Illuminati
was made up of en-lighteners who was proving scientific claims and now because
of what the Catholic Church did to them they became much stronger with their
goal of getting revenge rather than the work of science.
How was modern
Satanism born?
“The rumors of satanic black-magic animal sacrifices and the
pentagram ritual were nothing but lies spread by the church as a smear campaign
against their adversaries” (46). Than as time went on, the opponents of the
church and the people who wanted to emulate the Illuminati began to believe in
the lies and acting the rituals out. That is how the Satanism was born.
Who created the
Illuminati symbol and why?
The Illuminati symbol was created by an anonymous sixteenth
century Illuminati artist. The brotherhood kept the Illuminati symbol a secret
so when they resurface and gain their power, they will carry out their final
goal.
What was the item
stolen from Vetra by his murderer?
Vetra murder stole Vetra eye.
Remarks:
Finding out that Vetra was not only a scientist but a
scientist that uses science to explain religion. If Langdon is wrong about the
Illuminati not existing for more than half a century, then it is possible that
the Illuminati is responsible for the murder of Vetra because of the conflicts between the Church and the Illuminati.. This is an explanation for why Vetra got murdered
in the first place. Clearly the Illuminati aren't joking on killing their
enemies or getting revenge from the past against the Church. What confuses me is why Vetra murder
took his eye. How does his eye relate to anything? I remember in the previous
chapters where the killer tortured Vetra for the object he was looking for and
delivered the object to Janus. So was the object Vetra eye? I think another
possible reason why the killer took Vetra eye so that the killer can cover up
what he really took from Vetra. Everyone that sees a body on the floor with a missing eye,
the attention of the eye being missing will be much greater than the attention
of another missing object. Which also explains why Vetra eye is missing.
