| Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the Tower of Babel. |
It is here that in the language of the ritual "language was confounded and Masonry lost".
According to this latest form of the Legend
the Tower of Babel is degraded from the prominent place
which was given to it in the older forms as the birth-place of Masonry
and becomes simply the symbol of the darkness and ignorance
of the profane world
as contradistinguished from the light and knowledge
to be derived from an initiation
into the system of Speculative Masonry.
