I have read that the key is a general symbol for the importance to keep the secrets transmitted to every brother, secrets kept for thirty centuries. This symbol points the arrow at least as far back as before Solomon's temple.

I notice that craft lodges already known to exist banded together to form Grand Lodges.
But higher degrees emerged with a Grand Chapter etc already in place.
What do we deduce from this?
Either the higher degrees are fakes or else they were hidden until recently.
So how old might they be?
In Jewish traditions, temple duties are passed down the bloodlines for perhaps 3000 years. Does the same happen in Masonry given the very Jewish toning it has at present?
