The Structure of Freemasonry American Freemasonry resembles two sets of stairs that begin and end together, as this chart of Masonic structure shows. A Mason's first step is to become an Entered Ap- prentice. He climbs to the third step where most Masons stay. If he wants to go on in Masonic hierarchy, he enters either the Scottish or York rites. Many authorities say the Scottish Rite was begun by Scots emigrés in France; the York Rite is named after York, England where, by legend, the first Masonic body was organized. In the Scottish Rite a Mason climbs 30 steps, or degrees. The name he takes on at each degree is written on each step in chart.

Some figures a Mason meets in Rite ceremonies stand on the steps (from bottom): King Solomon, King Cyrus, acolyte, George Washington. Sultan. Each degree teaches a moral. To earn degree candidate learns the moral and participates in ceremony dramatizing it. A 32° is the highest degree a Mason can earn. The 33° is awarded by the Supreme Council, ruling body of the Rite. A Mason in York Rite advances 10 degrees, known by name and not by degree number.

At the end it said "Enritt Hinry". I'm there.. what.. looked like the name in the bottom right corner but wasn't as big as this one. Looked around.. turns out the artist name was Everett Henry. I've seen this thing around over the years.
The dude on the right side with the breast plate like in the Raiders of the lost ark priest. What.. he's a "royal arch mason".
Closing windows.. why doesn't this have the top brick, right. It's like the great pyramid and they probably took out the top, for whatever reason. They don't like pyramidions.
