Many of America’s founding fathers were Masons.#3 The Order of the Eastern Star uses a star similar to the one used by the Freemasons, but with a pentagon in the center and five lines of equal length, creating five isosceles triangles connected to the center. The Masons see this as a visual representation of the mathematical concept of the Golden Ratio.#4 The Statue of Liberty, created by French engineer Gustave Eiffel and sculptor Bartholdi, is the most recognizable symbol of the United States. It was a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Masons of the United States in 1884.
