Question
Description acceptable. A leader of this project was buried under a sprig of acacia by Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum after they murdered him for refusing to divulge the “master’s word.” After being stolen from the Lord of the Sea for use in this project, an extremely destructive worm was kept in a lead box filled with barley and wool. Third Degree initiation rites attribute this project to Hiram Abiff. A pair of pillars erected during this project are labeled (*) “B” and “J” on a tarot card of the Rider–Waite deck. The beings working on this project realized they weren’t all-knowing when a termite chewed through their boss’s staff, revealing that he’d been dead for a year. Since he forced Asmodeus to work on this project, the monarch who led it titles a “greater key” grimoire. For 10 points, Freemasons mythologize what religious building project commissioned by a wise king? ■END■
