The scene changes to scenes of continuous warfare between the different ancient races interposed with people holding treasure. The grandfather narrates how the treasure accumulated in value as the new victors add to the treasure they won from the conquered races. The Crusaders find the treasure in a hidden vault where they decide its value was greater than one man, even their king, should posses. The Crusaders evolve into the knights templar and then became freemasons, in honor of the ancient temple builders. It was the freemasons who brought the treasure into America where they met the Revolutionary War. Hiding it from the British was a paramount mission for the freemasons, which then included prominent names such as General Washington and Ben Franklin. The treasure was secured and the secrets to its location known only to the freemasons.
