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?
The Manitoba Legislative Building - riding on the banks of the historic Assiniboine River in the Canadian Province of Manitoba , was designed with lots of figures, monuments and even symbols from the ancient world. One of the sacred symbols is the two great sphinxes with inscriptions related to Ra, an ancient sun God. Multiple pairs of life-sized bison, cattle skulls, lion heads, Medusa portraits and even sacred lamps and lights, statues of some ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses such as Hermes and Aphrodite, monument of Moses with Ten Commandments on hand, sculptures by Piccirilli Brothers, a tree of life painting in the legislative hall, astronomical themes were the secondary features, but the best evidences how sacred the MLB was.
Egyptian symbols were also included to decorate the whole structure. Two great sphinxes were placed on the roof of the central tower, one of which faces the direction where the sun sets, while the other faces the rising sun. The sphinxes have hieroglyphic engravings that translate the name of Thutmosis III. Hieroglyphic references were also made to acknowledge the power of one of the Egyptians God, the Sun God Re. The inscriptions were translated in English as "everlasting manifestation of the Sun God Re, who gives life."
Aside from the Golden Boy and grand staircase, the other symbol was the Rotunda, which has four pairs of Corinthian columns rise from the floor of the doom to the surrounding base. The ground of the Rotunda was built from Tennessee marble bounded with Black Vermont. The designs were created for one purpose - to symbolize the Grecian key or the eternal quest of knowledge and eternity. Aside from the designs, the number 13 was also etched in the several bulbs of Rotunda. Some expert concluded that this number was known to provide good fortune and luck. However, other beliefs were concerned about the freemasons who have been involved in design and construction of the building. The truth behind this symbol was then unrecognized and unsolved at this point of time.

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.
