Conspiracy theories captivate people because they are mysterious and offer explanations for events that might be a little too strange to be true. Conspiracy theories either scare people or make them curious, wanting to know more about an event. Conspiracy theories thrive due to the mysteries behind them and the idea that hidden forces are controlling the world. One such theory that simply refuses to fade away is the Illuminati conspiracy. People have believed that a secret group of powerful elites secretly controls global affairs. Even though there is no evidence of this, the theory persists and gains prominence through books, movies, and the media. The mix of power, global control, and secrecy is what continues to keep it alive in people’s minds till date. While other theories come and go, the Illuminati conspiracy theory is one of the most long-lasting conspiracies. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into it. Arby’s Pyramid Eye Viral Video: Fast-Food Giant’s Cryptic Post Starring the Eye of Providence Sparks Reactions Online, but What Does the Illuminati All-Seeing Eye Really Mean?

What Is the Illuminati?

The Illuminati is a secret group that people believe controls events in the world and governments. According to the theory, powerful corrupt elites are secretly running the world and pulling the strings behind the scenes. It all started in 1776, when a group called the Bavarian Illuminati was established in Germany. The group lasted for about a decade, from 1776 to 1785. The main aim of the group was to challenge religious control and encourage reason. However, the government shut down the group just a few years later. Even though the group no longer exists, people still believe that the group exists, even though there is no concrete evidence.

Is It Real?

As there is no solid evidence to prove that secret society exists, it is hard to say for sure if it is real or not. While many believe in its power, there is no proof of a secret group controlling global affairs. If the Illuminati do actually exist, they are very good at staying hidden and concealing their activities.

The Eye of Providence

The Eye of Providence is a symbol of an eye inside a pyramid, and it represents the idea that a higher power or God is watching over us. It is considered the symbol of the Illuminati. It was seen as a symbol of divine guidance and protection. The symbol has been used in many cultures, and it has been argued that it was also used in Christianity. The symbol was adopted on the US Great Seal. The Eye of Providence can be found on the facades of many churches and Masonic buildings around the world. Its roots are intertwined with Freemasonry and secret societies. While many have linked the symbol to these groups, there is no evidence suggesting that there are any hidden meanings behind the symbol.
