  • Not sure about the pyramid, but the eyes sounds like the eye of horus... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_horus
  • the pyramid with the eye is a symbol associated with the "Illuminati". The Illuminati is a secret organization that is believed to have it's roots with the "Freemasons" also known as the "Masons" All of our founding fathers were Masons and many presidents throughout our country's history were Masons. In fact even now there is a Mason in the White House. You may have heard the phrase "New World Order" being used by the president and past presidents. This is a reference to an ideology,or doctrine of the Masons and Illuminati. I believe the highest leaders of the Masonic brotherhood are whom the Illuminati are comprised of. The Masons are believed to have their origins from an ancient order called "The Knights Templar" this order is reputed to have been the guardians of the 'Holy Grail' the chalice Jesus drank from at the "Last Supper" But in recent years a new definition of what the 'holy grail' translates to has gained popularity due to the book and movie called "The DaVinci Code". But that is another subject, related but not relevent here. I could go into greater detail but I would have to research the subject again to make sure that it was accurate.
  • To the left is the reverse of the seal which portrays an unfinished pyramid. The separated cap of the pyramid, portraying the all-seeing eye, symbolizes that the United States is still far from finished. The shadow cast by the pyramid from the rising sun represents the undiscovered lands to the west. The sun, which is rising, represents that a new nation has begun. The Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis is located above the pyramid. Taken from the Latin words annuere ("to nod, approve") and coepere ("to begin, undertake"), it literally means "he/it favors the things having been begun." However, the official translation given by the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Mint, and the U.S. Treasury is "He (God) has favored our undertakings."[attribution needed] Novus Ordo Seclorum is shown on a ribbon below the pyramid and is a phrase taken from the fourth Ecologue of Virgil. In English, the Latin seclorum is the genitive plural form of the word saeculum, meaning "generation, century, or age." Thus the motto can be translated as "a new order of the ages". Written at the base of the pyramid in Roman Numerals is MDCCLXXVI or 1776, the year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The eye above the pyramid is popular among conspiracy theorists, and alleged to have connections with the Illuminati secret society. The history of the dollar bill was featured on The History Channel's "Decoding The Past" program.[3] In Rich Hall's books of sniglets, the pyramid is known as a "pyramonster" and described as "that thing with one big eye on the back of a dollar bill." To the right is the obverse of the Great Seal portraying a heraldic Bald Eagle. In front of the eagle is an unsupported shield which symbolizes the fledgling country's ability to stand on its own, unified by congress; this is symbolized by the blue bar on top of the shield. Above the eagle's head is a glory with 13 stars. Clutched in the eagle's beak is a ribbon which reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" ("From many, one"). It also holds an olive branch (which the head always points towards) and arrows in its claws, symbolizing the desire of peace, but the readiness to fight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_one-dollar_bill#Reverse_of_current_.241_bill
