I am reminded of a discussion about 'lore spinning/stealing' and 'stealing fire from another thread. There are those who suggest Moses to have been a "Freemason" but was he? I'm not so sure that Moses' religion was technically "Judaism" either--to knowledge he was not a descendant of Judah--he was a Hebrew (think: 'Eber'/'Abraham'), and both of his parents of the tribe of Levi. He was adopted into an Egyptian royal family. Seems to be foreshadowing of a kind of "royal priesthood".
This tracks to Mnason of the Bible. Here is a 'mason' in my opinion. The knowledge of building in stone of course was an art that would be in demand - to the "City Builders". Look at the jurisdiction of the Levites -
