Sphinxes On The Roof Of The Manitoba Legislative Secrets

By John Abbot


One of the greatest monuments completed in 1920 was the Manitoba Legislative Building, a remarkable structure with primeval temple designs from the New Eastern World. The building has been designed by Frank Worthington Simon (1863-1933), a man with an in-depth knowledge of architecture as well as aspirations from the philosophical doctrines of Freemasonry. The building was then used as one of the best sites for legislative assembly for committees, staffs, offices of the ministers and other government bodies. However, what is the real purpose why Legislative Manitoba was created?

In 1914, there was an outbreak of the First World War in the location of the building, but fortunately, the staffs have been started to evacuate since 1913. This was the first tragedy that the building has been conquered. Though there was a shortage of materials and funds, the Manitobans still pursued to build and restore the beauty of the building. Luckily, improvements were seen after the end of the war, and ceremonies have been conducted by Sir James Aikins, the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the province. The camaraderie of the Manitobans in maintaining the beauty of the building was one of the most significant reasons why it gained the highest recognition at this point of time.

The next significant symbol was the grand staircase, consisted of 39 steps made from brown-vein Carrara Marble. Georges Gardet of Paris was also the designer of each 2,268-kilogram bison. There were many speculations about the creation of these bison and how the architect designed them, but the Manitoban people considered it as their precious ancient symbol next to the Golden Boy,

A shiny, sacred Golden Boy statue was also considered as one of the MLB trademarks. It has impressive 17 foot bronze cast covered with gold. Historians concluded that this figure was a representation of Hermes Trismigestus, one of the scholars who taught the wisdom of light in 1999, the father of Alchemy and occult philosophy. At a closer look, the Golden boy was holding some crops, minerals and wheat, while a torch on the other hand. Historical evidences concluded that the boy was a representation of Hermes, one of the greatest scholars, a man with an excellent knowledge of alchemy and wisdom of light.

The beauty of the Manitoba Legislative Beauty was worth visiting for. Actually, it was one of the world-winning structures with different ancient symbols such as the statue of Medusa, Bucranium for sacrifices, the figure of bare chested Jesus Christ and Masonic initiate, Egyptian Motifs, statue of agriculture, Blue Curtains and the ark of the Covenant (on top of the Lieutenant-Governor's room). Some historical evidences claimed that there were some things associated with the symbols and the purposes of the architect. Love, sex, fertility and war were included in the lists.
