The drama of Noah was used prior to that of Hiram? Explain when and why and why the change
The Noah narrative appears in early eighteenth-century Masonic records, notably preserved in the Graham Manuscript of 1726, prior to the widespread emergence of the Hiramic legend in published exposures and rituals around 1730, as a paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge records. In this early legend, Noah's three sons attempt to disinter or raise his body to retrieve a lost secret, sharing the core theme of attempting to recover a secret from a deceased body that later characterized the Hiramic narrative, as a paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge explains.
