why are there so many conspiracy theories about freemasons? anyone can look up and read REAL history and learn.

as far as i know the freemasons of today came from free stone masons who were around before the time of the crusades. they were expert builders.

from there many of the Christian crusaders became a part of a society linked to the free stone masons. as far as i know they started the first usable currency system in the world. though many were executed, after the crusades, many also left europe for different parts of the world. however they still maintained allegience to the brotherhood they had formed.

thats extremely brief...but a little of what i understand and not a bit of conspiracy. i would love to find out more history from someone who is more knowledgeable than i am.

i am a complete history buff and this has always fascinated me!
