sam you should know better than to make unexplained deletions now why is it you think this information is pov it is certainly true that many american's believe that pyramid and eyeoprov are on the one dollar bill as a result of the influence of freemasonry on the founding fathers so the only real question is whether these are in fact masonic symbols we have two references from masonic web sites which say they are not to counter the argument we would need to find a credible reference that says they are i'm not an expert on the iconography of the freemasons but i have taken the time to look into it and to be honest the explanation on the rosslyn templar's site rings true the unfinished pyramid or even a completed pyramid doesn't appear to be a symbol used by the masons the triangle pentagram and the obelisk are but the pyramid isn't on the whole masons use a semi circular glory usually with extended rays from the base you can find examples of full glories as in the sun face above but i haven't seen any full glories surrounding the eyeoprov nor an eyeoprov enclosed in a triangle although these were christian symbols there is a chance that william barton on drawing the great seal was trying to please benjamin franklin and if you are into conspiracy theories no doubt other behind the scenes masons but if so it appears he got his symbols mixed up and it would be surprising that controlling masons didn't set him right alternatively i might suggest that the masons were still busy inventing their traditions and symbols at the same time that the great seal was being created both drew on symbols and ideas that were popular at the time and that's about it there is good evidence for masonic involvement in the erection of the washington monument but then that's an obelisk jun utc
