Fortson's Signs, Symbols, and Secret Societies: The Sphinx Society

The Sphinx Society is a secret organization rooted in the late Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, centered around the belief that ancient monuments like the Great Sphinx and pyramids hold hidden knowledge. Originating from mystical and esoteric circles, the society considers the Sphinx a guardian of ancient secrets and the key to a lost "Hall of Records." Its focus is on preserving what they call "Stone Wisdom," emphasizing the enduring mathematical and architectural language encoded in ancient structures.
