Sure you are. I know because you've said "None of the little play/ritual is in the Bible and neither is Hiram Abiff. " and "A myth with no historical value."
You badly want to hammer this into some sort of literal, historical, Indiana Jonesy truth so you can discover the point of the story, or the secrets of Masonry, or some such. And the point went right past you.
Here is a clue: there really isn't a razor blade, a match, and a .45 round in the ball at the top of the flagpole. There really wasn't a Samaritan who saved a Levite.

I am not concerned about chronological data. The Bible is not history or historically accurate.
Not to mention that I clearl stated that it was a play on Hammurabi and using a famous person of antiquity to enhance Solomon's status.
There never existed a King Solomon anyway so you trying to make it make chronological sense is laughable.
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself."
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbour?"
Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.' Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbour to him who fell among the robbers?"
He said, "He who showed mercy on him."
Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
