The Illuminati
Illuminati literally means "one who is illuminated" or "the enlightened ones," describing someone who has received "the light" or some great knowledge." The Order of the Illuminati was founded by Adam Weishaupt (1748-1830) on May 1, 1776.
The Illuminati are widely believed to be a sect or faction of the Freemasons. The Freemason, hence the Illuminati, adopted their beliefs and teachings from the Knights Templar. The Knights Templar was originally a religious and military organization during the crusades. Its members became very rich through gifts of land and money from European rulers. By the 1300s, the Templars deemed themselves the "bankers of Europe," because of their enormous wealth and the breadth of their organization. They were hoping to "become wealthy enough to buy the world." -The Illuminati Fact and fiction by Mark dice.
