One of the greatest monuments completed in 1920 was the Manitoba Legislative Building, a remarkable structure with primeval temple designs from the New Eastern World. The building has been designed by Frank Worthington Simon (1863-1933), a man with an in-depth knowledge of architecture as well as aspirations from the philosophical doctrines of Freemasonry. The building was then used as one of the best sites for legislative assembly for committees, staffs, offices of the ministers and other government bodies. However, what is the real purpose why Legislative Manitoba was created?
One of the popular symbols in the MLB is the Golden Boy statue with a 17 foot bronze covered by real gold. Some people interpreted this as a symbol for alchemy and philosophy; the two areas wherein Hermes have been known for. Hermes was a Masonic scholar who authored the Masonic initiatory rituals and a father of alchemy and wisdom. Nearly half of the MLB symbols were based on his character. The statue was a sign for prosperity and wisdom because he held various crops such as wheat and minerals while a torch on the other hand.
Various figures such as murals of Jesus Christ and His passion, two bison on both sides of the stair case, the sacred temple of Solomon lamps on the Rotunda, an area for sacrifices and dreams are all considered sacred because of their amazing designs and measurements. Researchers concluded that Jesus Christ paintings were considered as Christian beliefs while the involvement of two bison was then from ancient traditions such as protecting the temples through the magic of bulls. The Manitoba Legislative Rooms were created based on Solomon's Holy Room in the bible. According to Frank Albo, a researcher from the University of Winnipeg, the measurements and details of the both rooms were all equal.
The North side of the building, above the six central columns, is the principal area of figures. In the left, the visitors can easily see the Indolent man, with a half-kneeling woman. Another is the European Goddess leading a bull that symbolizes immigration and heritage. The figure of a man, child and woman that represents colonization of the land is located on the right part of the building. The Lady Manitoba is seated in the center with sun rays behind her. Next to the woman is a muscular structure with a team of horses and a plough plowing the soil. Lastly, visitors can easily look at a figure with two entwined female that represents the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.
The beauty of the Manitoba Legislative Beauty was worth visiting for. Actually, it was one of the world-winning structures with different ancient symbols such as the statue of Medusa, Bucranium for sacrifices, the figure of bare chested Jesus Christ and Masonic initiate, Egyptian Motifs, statue of agriculture, Blue Curtains and the ark of the Covenant (on top of the Lieutenant-Governor's room). Some historical evidences claimed that there were some things associated with the symbols and the purposes of the architect. Love, sex, fertility and war were included in the lists.

Yet wait there are a myriad of out of this world not believable scenarios dealing with every aspect of society. The majority of these theories are based on one or more of the following assumptions: That Freemasonry is its own religion, requires belief in a unique Masonic "god", and that belief in this Masonic "god" is contrary to the teachings of various mainstream religions .
