For millennia mankind has worshipped sacred things, from Mecca to Megaliths we have held them aloft as sacred objects and gifts from the gods. The worship of sacred stones constitutes the most ancient form of religion. From the origin of ritualized worship in Sumeria and Egypt, to Secret Societies such as the Knights Templar and the Illuminati, ancient stones and artifacts have been idolized and used in secret and magical ceremonies unknown to the outside world. They have been placed at the very center of religious icons, used to take power over the souls of others.
