Graduate members are called “patriarchs,” while those undergoing initiation are called “knights.” Outsiders of the group are “barbarians.” There have been rumors that Skull and Bones is a branch of the Illuminati, having been founded by German university alumni following the order’s suppression in Bavaria by Karl Theodor. Members are supposed to take an oath of secrecy. No one knows what happens behind the closed doors of The Tomb, the windowless meeting space where Bonesmen gather twice a week. Their names are published in Yale Rumpus.
Every year, 15 seniors at Yale are selected to be a part of Skull and Bones. The prominent list of Bonesman, as the members are called, includes several presidents and power brokers. It is also known as The Order, Order 322 or The Brotherhood of Death. Skull and Bonesįounded by William Huntington Russell at Yale University in 1832, this secret society was inspired by an occult society he had visited in Germany. The Cross of Lorraine was used as a symbol of the order and Second World War, it was also used as a symbol of French resistance to Nazi Rule. The Temple Mount of Jerusalem, Gastria and Kolossi Castle in Cyprus, Temple Church in Bristol are some of the many templar sites. With far reaching military missions and extensive financial resources at their disposal, the Knights Templar funded a large number of building projects around Europe and the Holy Land, many of which continue to stand till date. Movies such as National Treasure, The Last Templar, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are also based on the secret order. Dan Brown, in his book “The Da Vinci Code”, has kept the mystery revolving around the Knights Templar alive, who apparently continue to guard ancient artifacts like the Holy Grail and the Shroud of Turin. It’s said that King Philip IV of France was deeply in debt to the order and unable to pay back the debt and, on being denied further loans, caused the extermination of the Knights Templar in 1312. In the early 14 th century, Pope Clement V, under pressure from the French crown, formally dissolved the order and redistributed its wealth. However, with the end of the crusades, they withdrew to Paris and focused on banking. Their riches were flourishing and they were even lending to the kings. It was also decreed that they would be answerable to none other than the Pope himself. In 1139, Pope Innocent II issued a Papa Bull Omne datum optimum, exempting them from paying taxes. Apart from their military prowess and moral lifestyles, they became famous as the first international banking institution in the world as pilgrims would deposit money in their home country and could withdraw into the holy land. Also known as the Order of Solomon’s Temple or Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ, the temple pledged to live a life of celibacy, obedience and destitution, desisting from wagering, liquor and even cursing. associated with them.Ī Catholic military order founded in 1119, with its headquarters on the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, was committed to the task of protecting pilgrims during the crusades. Secret societies have continued to emerge, with different agendas, motives, and target groups, across the world and have names like Leonardo da Vinci, Issac Newton, Galileo, Ashoka, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, etc.
For ages, these societies have been rumored to coexist with the ordinary parallel world and, ever since the start, they have been shrouded in mystery and distrust. For others, the image of weirdly clothed men and women performing eccentric ceremonies comes to the mind.
To some, the name invokes the visual of a shady yet elite encrypted meeting behind closed chambers, discussing world domination strategies.
