Guys (as I believe they say in Canada) you're being duped. Your tour guide is as inaccurate as the tourists are gullible. There are no masonic signs hidden in this building. A curious mix of Greek and Roman architecture, but the symbols are about as meaningful as the position of decorations on Christmas trees. The masonic symbol is the star. First of all it is never black, and it is certainly never on the floor. Why? Because it represents God and it is always on the ceiling (Oh dear, I can feel another interpretation coming on here).
As a sociologist and a freemason I have a different perspective. Why do people want to believe what is patently absurd? I think we all find secrets compelling. Being excluded from something just because one is not a member is a subtle form of exclusion, rebuttal and (taken to extremes) an insult. Becoming privy to something that is supposed to be exclusive knowledge is redress this exclusion and take revenge. Unfortunately the truth is far more mundane than this report suggests. "It's easier to slay a dragon than kill a myth".
