My husband is a Mason. He says they go back at least as far as a trade guild for the men who built the cathedrals in the medieval era. They figured out how to build cathedrals really tall and big without falling down, and kept their secrets so they could make a decent living. This is one reason the Catholic Church got pissed off against them, being independent and holding out for higher wages unstead of doing it "for the glory of God."

There are claims that the guild goes all the way back to Solomon's Temple but there's no evidence that I am aware of.

Not that anybody would tell me. They don't allow women to join the Masons.
