00:00The Bavarian Illuminati is a German secret society founded in 1776 and modeled on the philosophy of the Enlightenment.
00:07Adam Weichopt had the idea of creating an order where knowledge would be shared and esoteric knowledge could be passed on to members of the highest ranks.
00:15The aim of this society was to encourage the improvement of humanity according to the principles of liberty and equality,
00:21a bit like Freemasonry in the end since we're on the same model, guys who love to hear each other talk and who get together for that.
00:27The organization was dissolved in 1785, less than 10 years after its creation, but the most famous conspiracy theory still survives today.
00:34wants the Illuminati, also called the Illuminati, to have never dissolved and to have continued in hiding
00:40in order to pursue a secret plan of world domination, by infiltrating governments, big business and other powerful structures such as government agencies.
00:49Conspiracy theorists rely on various symbols to support their thesis, such as the dollar bill, for example.
00:55with its pyramid and its eye of providence at the top, which according to them represent the enlightenment of the elites who see everything and control everything.
01:02While this symbol existed well before the creation of the Bavarian Illuminati, since it is a representation of God dating from the Renaissance.
01:08And ultimately, this whole story has fueled cinema, even though there aren't many films that actually deal with the Illuminati.
01:15The German film 23, released in 1999, which follows a young hacker who is convinced that the Illuminati conspiracy is real,
01:22to the point of maintaining an obsession that will lead him to madness.
01:25Lara Croft confronts the Illuminati, so that they do not get their hands on a very powerful artifact that could allow them to control the world.
01:31In Ron Howard's Da Vinci Code trilogy, Tom Hanks will attempt to thwart the Illuminati's plans more than once,
01:37especially when they want to take revenge on the Catholic Church and its representatives for having hunted them down.
01:41And in this broad conspiracy theory, we also find the Yale student fraternity, the Skool and Bones,
01:46which some people believe were corrupted by the Illuminati who later joined the government.
