• The lantern.
• Dad...

1524 01:48:37,595 --> 01:48:39,884 The status quo has changed, son.

1525 01:48:39,972 --> 01:48:41,597 Don't.

1526 01:48:44,602 --> 01:48:48,434 It's part of freemason teachings.

1527 01:48:48,523 --> 01:48:51,939 In King Solomon's temple there was a winding staircase.

1528 01:48:52,026 --> 01:48:54,570 It signified the journey that had to be made

1529 01:48:54,571 --> 01:48:56,840 to find the light of truth.

1530 01:48:58,074 --> 01:49:01,906

• The lantern is the clue.
• And what does it mean?

1532 01:49:04,580 --> 01:49:06,240 The Old North Church in Boston,

1533 01:49:06,332 --> 01:49:09,861 where Thomas Newton hung a lantern in the steeple,

1534 01:49:09,955 --> 01:49:12,730 to signal Paul Revere that the British were coming.

1535 01:49:12,731 --> 01:49:14,031 One if by land, two if by sea.

1536 01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:15,055 One lantern.

1537 01:49:15,056 --> 01:49:17,656 Under the winding staircase of the steeple,

1538 01:49:17,657 --> 01:49:19,057

You can see the stairs in the entrance hall but you can also see them from the start here if you look right. I was there.. that's not winding like in this Washington art pic.

If you look up masonic staircase stuff, sometimes they go up straight for a bit then curve. Yeah like look up masonic winding staircase in google images.
