Off topic remark,
PN Oak was not too off the mark on the Taj Mahal. There have been a few posts by member Ishwa on this on IF.
Basically, the "Mughal" or "Islamic" architecture was "taken" from the pagan palace architecture of the time. Period Rajput architecture incorporating cupolas was very similar apparently.
Tavernier's (?) remark about the scaffolding costing more than the building of the structure apparently only fits into a scenario where Islamist redecoration work was solely carried out.
I was always agnostic about the Taj Mahal controversy and also thought it not too important.......
Back to topic, Illuminati genre is part of Christian fantasy about the bloodline of Christ.
The pattern seems to be that creative literary revivals by obscure fiction authors gets overtaken by authors with Church affiliations (CS Lewis types) who are attempting literary inculturation and appropriation; this then gets further picked up by Agency types to run geopolitical case scenarios, test public reactions, ambiguate any genuine exposure by the few Sandhya Jains and FW Engdahls (i.e., the CT allegation for genuine anti-colonial work), and also allows them to publicly gloat about still classified misdeeds.
