The Order of the Illuminati

The Illuminati was a historical secret society founded in 1776 in Bavaria, aiming to promote enlightenment and oppose religious and political oppression. Over time, it became the subject of numerous conspiracy theories alleging control over world events and governments. These modern theories suggest that the Illuminati continues to influence global affairs covertly, though there is no verified evidence supporting such claims. Historically, the original organization was short-lived, but the mythos has persisted, often serving as a symbol of hidden power and intrigue in popular culture.
