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.

The building has one room that portrayed the temple of Solomon hundreds of decades ago. According to one researcher from the University of Winnipeg, Frank Albo (FA), the measurements of the original Solomon's temple and the sacred room of the Manitoba Legislative building were all equal. There might some discrepancies in styles, but the details kept by Babylonians were the best evidences how accurate the comparisons were. The original temple was built during the 10th century BCE while the Babylonians brought the remains in 586 BCE to guide the construction of the building. The hall was then added with two life-sized monuments bulls, because ancient people believed that these animals can ward off the works of the evil spirits.

Aside from the two magic bulls, guests would definitely love the grand staircase, with three flights and thirteen steps towards the Golden Boy, a room with a dome ceiling and tessellated marble border. Another symbol was a figure called as the Pool of the Black Star. It was considered as the symbol of Babylonian goddess Ishtar. Within the area of the Golden Boy, a Rotunda has been one of the most common areas designed for sacrifices. According to Frank's research, ancient Gods, led by Hermes received power via sacrifices of souls.

The Lieutenant- Governor's room was also a symbol with lots of interpretations. This area was then used for different occasions such as when royal families or foreign dignitaries visited the ancient structure. It was composed of hand-carve decorations around the ceiling and four corner pillars, a hand-woven Donegal carpet and a mysterious Prince of Wallas chair designed from Mahogany. Portraits and other symbols such as the statue of Medusa, monument for agriculture, Blue curtains and ark of Covenant, Bucranium and the Jesus Christ's figure were also considered as sacred symbols of Manitoban Legislative Building.
