The legend of Hiram Abiff is often put forward as a belief by Freemasons but there are groups that prefer the Regius Manuscript which tells they originated in ancient Egypt
Link. Who knows?
It is also believed that it was written to counter a statute from 1425 which banned assemblies. The specific portion which calls for an annual assembly would counter the ban with some royal authority.
It is probably likely that those that prefer the Egyptian history are more likely to be attached to Mystery Schools and ancient Egyptian alleged magic.
The application of the Masonic Blazing Star as an emblem of the Savior has been made by those writers who give a Christian explanation of our emblems, and to the Christian Freemason, such an application will not be objectionable.
But those who desire to refrain from anything that may tend to impair the tolerance of our system, will be disposed to embrace a more universal explanation, which may be received alike by all the disciples of the Order, whatever may be their peculiar religious views.

So to be perfectly clear here, none of the masons in this thread have any experience in the Sirius star being acclaimed as a celestial body with significant impact on the physics or cultural development of civilization? In a word, it is superstition?

I have heard of E8 and read about it, however most of my insight in numbers has been Phi (Golden Ratio) and the fractal Mandelbrot Set, if you scroll down link below to approx. 6th thread section and then onwards you can see some of my work, you may want to look at next page:-

Can anyone confirm that the above videos make sense before I start watching? Because I did a YouTube search and there are several videos on his channel, each the length of a feature film.

The parts that I watched about Egypt weren't correct. Sirius was neither Isis nor Osiris... it was Sopdet: en.wikipedia.org...
The usage of "dog" is incorrect because "dog days" and "dogging someone/something" is English only and fairly recent usage ... from about 1700 or thereabouts: www.etymonline.com...
I'm sure there are other problems, but the delivery was tiresome and the parts that I saw were demonstrably incorrect that i gave up on it after watching less than half.
