Sam Biagetti of \u201cHistoriansplaining\u201d comes on the show to discuss Solomon\u2019s Temple \u2013 both the real historical building as it can be reconstructed from ancient texts and archaeology, and the symbol that has been endlessly appropriated to represent humankind\u2019s relationship to the cosmos, from Jewish mysticism, to Christian theology, to early Islam, to medieval magic, to Renaissance humanism, to the rituals of Freemasonry, to modern Jewish and evangelical fundamentalism.\n\nCheck out Sam's lectures on Freemasonry:\nsoundcloud.com/historiansplaining/the-freemasonry-its-origins-its-myths-and-its-rituals\nsoundcloud.com/historiansplaining/freemasonry-its-growth-and-spread-before-1789\n\nVisit our website to ask us questions at xaihowareyou.com and call or Text the Talmud Hotline at 401-484-1619 and leave us a voicemail.
