While masonry companies, as companies go, are a relatively new phenomenon, masons, masonry guilds, and masonry associations have been part of every civilization dating back thousands of years. It was masonry that built the monuments of Egypt, including the pyramids, and many of the great monuments of Ancient Greece and Rome. It was also guilds of Masons who built the great Christian cathedrals of Europe after Rome was converted, and it was guilds of masons who built the early centers of learning and industry that evolved into our modern civilization today. These guilds enjoyed special rights and privileges in every country, and were allowed to cross borders freely regardless of their nationality provided they could do and would do the work required of them.
