Myth/Legend: The Illuminati

Summary/Link: The Illuminati originated in the enlightenment era in Bavaria, Germany. Bavaria is the southern most state in the Germany. The Bavarian Illuminati was created, similar to the free masons, to oppose superstition, religious, and similar influences over state power. The secret organization was created in 1776 and lasted 11 years before an edict by the Duke of Bavaria, Charles Theodore, banned all secret societies. This resulted in the fleeing of the leaders of the Illuminati who had become well publicized as heretics by that time.

Today, the Illuminati are an Urban legend based on the idea that the Illuminati still survives today. According the the legend, the Illuminati is a very powerful underground secret society that is secretly controlling the governments of the world. "Pulling the strings," as it might be called. The Urban legend is represented by the eye of providence, which was the symbol of the Free Mason secret society, a similar society to the Bavarian Illuminati. The original symbol for the Illuminati was in fact the Owl of Minerva, not the eye of providence.

Any organizations claiming to be descended of the Illuminati not only use it as a marketing device instead of keeping it the "secret society" it supposedly is, but also have no factual evidence to prove that they are related to them at all. This leaves the modern day Illuminati nothing, but an Urban legend using the wrong symbol.

Piece of work:

Extra: See those lines coming out of the triangle? those are rays of lights. Whenever I draw rays of light they ALWAYS look weird and messed up to me. Also People: still working on that.

Man, I thought it was just an interesting coincident when I mentioned the theme scoring. This got a lot bigger than I expected. (sadly, this happens to me often)

My apologies to Corrupt_Voidlich for putting him at the center of all this scrutiny, no one likes to be under that kind of pressure.

I do not apologize for saying what I did though. I want to be able to participate in competitions that are conducted fairly, and judging is a major part in that.
