    Deep within the ancient city of Jerusalem, a man named Hiram Abiff stood, overseeing the construction of the Temple of Solomon. His eyes, sharp and discerning, took in every detail of the grand structure.

    Hiram was a master builder, known for his exceptional skills and revered for his sacred knowledge about the art of construction, a secret he held close to his heart.

    But one day, three apprentice masons, envious of Hiram's knowledge, confronted him, demanding to know the sacred secrets he guarded.

    Hiram, true to his principles, refused to divulge his secrets. The confrontation escalated, and in a tragic turn of events, Hiram was murdered.
