Icke konspiratoriska förklaringar till symbolspråk?

Varför har Usa en pyramid med ett öga på sina sedlar?

Hur förklaras sådana här traditionella "conspiracy nut" grejer av historiker?

Hur ser man på frimurare?
Igen: varför har man pyramider på sedlarna borta i amerika?

Över tjugo minuter och inga svar.
Ynkedom.

Det kan väl inte vara så svårt att googla själv? I referenserna till wikipedias "United States one-dollar bill" hittar man den här länken där man kan läsa:
The Eye of God is an equilateral triangle with a single eye inside it and almost always with rays emanating from it.

It symbolizes the omnipresence and omniscience of God, who watches over all things. It is also associated with the Trinity (which the triangle symbolizes in itself).

Pyramiden sägs av många vara en frimurarorder-symbol, som tydligen hade ett någorlunda stark fäste hos "the founding fathers". På dollarsedlen symboliserar den också ett "undertaking", wikipedia:
At the top of the seal stands a Latin phrase, "ANNUIT COEPTIS," meaning "He (God) favors our undertaking."

Den här länken pratar om just pyramiden:

Tex:
The official interpretation is that the pyramid represents strength and durability. It's incomplete because so is the work of building the nation. The eye in the triangle is the all-seeing eye of providence.

och:

Due to incomplete records, nobody knows exactly how many of the founding fathers were Masons. But there were quite a few, including George Washington, Ben Franklin, and possibly Thomas Jefferson. Franklin and Jefferson were on the committee assigned to design the great seal.

That's not what the internet says!
