Yesterday, I'm jumping to conclusion on this blog to introduce Dan Brown's novel "Digital Fortress", which develops over algorithms, but the image of the book is wrong. "The Lost Symbol"(2009). Has been posted. I immediately noticed it and corrected it with the image. So toay I would like to introduce "The Lost Symbol" again.
This novel is an adventure novel about the building of the United States Capitol and the urban structure of the capital Washington, DC. The United States Capitol riots on January 6, last year, are still under investigation in the country. The Capitol, a symbol of America with democracy as the nation's basic philosophy, was attacked by mobs during Congress. The Capitol was actually built with the symbol of Freemasonry. Freemasonry was originally like a masonry union, a professional association formed to maintain the masonry's vested interests in the construction business under the feudal system of the Middle Ages of Europe and to keep traditional techniques secret. Later, celebrities came to join. The enroll- ment ceremony was held in secret wirh a strict oath. It is said that Isaac Newton, the discoverer of universal gravitation, was also a member. It is well known that the first president of the United States, Washing ton was a member of Freemasonry. However, I learned for the first time in this novel that the United States Capitol was built on the basis of Freemasonry's symbolism. It's not just the Capitol. The urban structure of Washing- ton DC is said to be symbolic. Author Dan Brown is skilful at iconography and symbology. They are in full swing. Of course, the whole story is a fictional entertaiment, but the mystery of symbology and ionography is very well done and interesting. An international-scale swashbuckler by a national organization unfold over a mysterious little pyramid object. It seems to be an old-fashioned setting, but it is not. A ridiculous latest scientific problem comes up. "Hey, really!?" HAhahaha. You are looking forward to reading.
