It holds the remains of Gen Albert Pike, who fought for the breakaway Confederacy in the American Civil War. He also wrote Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, published in 1871. The temple has 250,000 books, one of the world's largest Masonic literature collections.
Completed in 1915, the building is a copy of the Mausoleum of the Mausolos, based in present-day Turkey and one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
THE SOLOMON KEY
When Dan Brown announced this new book in 2006, he initially called it The Solomon Key.
Legend has it that the Key of Solomon is a book of magic and witchcraft containing invocations and curses.
It was said to be hidden beneath the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.
According to Brown, the book was so powerful the Church would stop at nothing to get hold of it.
As a result a group of nine knights, known as The Order of Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon - or the Knights Templar - were created to retrieve and guard the documents.
HAND OF THE MYSTERIES
It Was said anyone who could decipher the meaning of the symbols on the hand - a key, sun, star, lantern and crown - would gain divine power.
The hand was an invitation to join the rare few in charge of guarding the secret wisdom for all the ages. Others believe it is the key to transformation from being a man to a god.
NOETIC SCIENCE
The Institute of Noetic Science was created in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and industrialist Paul Temple.
It features several times in The Lost Symbol and Dr Katherine Solomon is described as a "noetic scientist".
Noetic means "inner knowing" and the IoNS aims to combine science with holistic programmes.
Or, as they put it: "Noetic sciences explore the 'inner cosmos' of the mind (consciousness, soul, spirit) and how it relates to the 'outer cosmos' of the physical world."
The Institute, based in California, also researches meditation, psychic abilities and the survival of consciousness after death.
KRYPTOS SCULPTURE
Located at the CIA headquarters in Virginia, Jim Sanborn's sculpture, which was unveiled in 1990, is covered in codes - only partially cracked.
The S-shaped copper screen contains four messages. It took nine years for the first one to be decoded: "BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION." Even now controversy rages over its meaning
