IT BEGAN as a curious glance at two sphinxes on the Manitoba Legislature and resulted in the remarkable discovery of one of the greatest cover-ups in Canadian history. After years of painstaking research, specialist of ancient religions and secret societies, Frank Albo, uncovers a spine-tingling trail of occult clues concealed in the buildingÕs architecture, including hidden hieroglyphic inscriptions, numerological codes, and Freemasonic symbols so intelligently masked it has escaped historians and visitors for nearly a hundred years! As Albo pieces together the complex jig-saw puzzle an astonishing pattern emerges - a web of concealment in the original blueprints and in the buildingÕs iconography pointing to a secret plot. He reveals the building to be a library of coded messages and secret teachings inscribed in a Masonic language. Is it possible that CanadaÕs historic centerpiece is really a conduit of magical power? Is the buildingÕs location in the centre of North America a site for numinous earth energies?
