Its Not The Big Buffalo That Is The Main Attraction In Manitoba

By James Wolfe


Some of the evidences of ancient living were not recognized until the construction of the Manitoba Legislative Building, one of the best examples that portrayed the existence of the Babylonian people thousands of years ago. It was located in Winnipeg with its 30 acres land territory and different symbols located inside of it. According to Frank Albo, a researcher from the University of the Winnipeg, the measurements and details of the MLB were precisely the same as the old temple of Solomon in the bible; thus, spirituality was seen as one of the best reasons of the MLB creators. The remains of the old temple were carried out by the Babylonian few decades ago. What are the lists of Masonic Symbols and their interpretations?

To start with, we need to know the most important symbol - Manitoba Golden Boy sculpture atop the rotunda of the Manitoba Provincial Legislature. It was the Manitoba's best known structure, which embodied the spirit of eternal youth and enterprise. The boy was located on the dome of the building with his face turned to the North. He held some of the valuable resources such as minerals, fish, forest and hydroelectric power. According to some research, this monument was sculpted by Georges Gardet of Paris and casted at France in 1918 to make it more real. This significant figure has faced many danger circumstances because of the Manitoban war; however, his security was then restored after the reconstruction of the old dome.

The building has one room that portrayed the temple of Solomon hundreds of decades ago. According to one researcher from the University of Winnipeg, Frank Albo (FA), the measurements of the original Solomon's temple and the sacred room of the Manitoba Legislative building were all equal. There might some discrepancies in styles, but the details kept by Babylonians were the best evidences how accurate the comparisons were. The original temple was built during the 10th century BCE while the Babylonians brought the remains in 586 BCE to guide the construction of the building. The hall was then added with two life-sized monuments bulls, because ancient people believed that these animals can ward off the works of the evil spirits.

Aside from the two magic bulls, guests would definitely love the grand staircase, with three flights and thirteen steps towards the Golden Boy, a room with a dome ceiling and tessellated marble border. Another symbol was a figure called as the Pool of the Black Star. It was considered as the symbol of Babylonian goddess Ishtar. Within the area of the Golden Boy, a Rotunda has been one of the most common areas designed for sacrifices. According to Frank's research, ancient Gods, led by Hermes received power via sacrifices of souls.

The Lieutenant- Governor's room was also a symbol with lots of interpretations. This area was then used for different occasions such as when royal families or foreign dignitaries visited the ancient structure. It was composed of hand-carve decorations around the ceiling and four corner pillars, a hand-woven Donegal carpet and a mysterious Prince of Wallas chair designed from Mahogany. Portraits and other symbols such as the statue of Medusa, monument for agriculture, Blue curtains and ark of Covenant, Bucranium and the Jesus Christ's figure were also considered as sacred symbols of Manitoban Legislative Building.
