The magic flute

The influence of ancient Egypt on European music and arts There is a question raised about the classification of this opera: What is the true nature of "The Magic Flute"? Peter von Mat described it as the third greatest work filled with mysteries in "our European culture," alongside Shakespeare's Hamlet and Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Mozart, who was a member of the Masonic lodges in Vienna, transferred the events of the opera to Egypt as envisioned by Masonic thought. In this book, we delve with Jan Asman, the famous Egyptologist, into the world of Freemasons and their different lodges, where they sought for themselves "roots" in history, and they found them in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians developed three institutions for secret purposes, which they were forced to create in anticipation of the fluctuations of time. These institutions are: the art they built underground, the hieroglyphic writing that only those knowledgeable of secrets can read, in addition to a secret sect whose mission was to preserve and transmit the truth of "Isis's mysteries." A book that takes us between ancient Egypt and European arts in the eighteenth century before decoding hieroglyphic symbols.
