The foundation of the Great White Brotherhood was laid in 1580 B.C. by the
Pharaoh Ahmose I. The connotation in today’s world of ‘The Great White
Brotherhood’ is of, perhaps to some, white supremacy or equating to
something exclusive to the Caucasian. Nothing could be further from the
truth with the exception of the original exclusive nature of the organization.
Let’s go back in history almost 4,000 years to the beginning of the XVIII
Egyptian dynasty.
Egypt was a center of civilization. The arts and the sciences were advancing
at a rate and on par with the much later French Renaissance. The profound
secrets of nature, science and art were not to be entrusted to the masses.
Unfortunately the discoveries made and knowledge obtained was not able to
be well preserved with the means available-papyrus. Classes were formed
of carefully selected individuals, both men and women.
These mystery schools were initially devoted to the matrix of mythology and
esoteric knowledge founded on facts of observation and figments of
imagination. From them evolved the indisputable truths of Cosmic Law.

of the doctrines of the equality of the sexes. Thutmose III organized the still
present physical form of the Brotherhood and outlined many of it’s rules and
regulations during his reign from 1500 B.C. to 1447 B.C.
