The oldest known work of this type, The Halliwell Manuscript, also known as Regius Poem, dates from between 1390 and 1425. This document has a brief history in its introduction, stating that the "craft of masonry" began with Euclid in Egypt, and came to England in the reign of King Athelstan (924–939).[1] Shortly afterwards, the Matthew Cooke Manuscript traces masonry to Jabal, son of Lamech (Genesis 4: 20–22), and tells how this knowledge came to Euclid, from him to the Children of Israel (while they were in Egypt), and so on through an elaborate path to Athelsta
I am afraid this is lore. They are trying to fill in the gaps and make them more important than they are. It is the same as the Black Athena theory, namely Goddess Athena being from Africa and not Greek (ROFL), or the modern $cience that has shown that we all originate from Africa; how to emotionally compensate the African people they shat on for hundred of years).
Modern Freemasonry is just a dinner club.
Power lies elsewhere.
