Can you please explain the Masons involvement with the Denver International Airport
This one is a GREAT conspiracy theory. You’ve stumbled onto a funny one. Apparently some people have claimed that the murals in the airport have something to do with Freemasonry. This is because there is a capstone in the airport (yes I’ve seen it in person) with a Masonic symbol on it.
In March of 1994 a stone was placed as sort of a time capsule in the airport with messages to the people of Colorado to be opened in 100 years. The stone was placed and laid by the Freemasons as a gift, so of course we put our symbol on it. That’s where the connection to the Denver Aiport ends.
In fact, on that page I just gave you a link to, look to the right, and you’ll see other topics that you’ve brough up, such as pyramids, the illuminati, etc.
That site really is a great resource. You should spend some time reading there.
What does the “New World Airport Commission” mean. You have to admit the airport, the artwork, and the statues outside are mysterious and unlike any other airport. Your time capsule and plaque are not helping making it any less mysterious either. I don’t think its something sinister I’m just curious.

Your question makes it obvious you did not READ the page I provided the link to, which would have answered your question. I’m happy to help you, but you can’t ignore my responses.

How many airports have you been to? That statement “unlike any other airport” is rather amusing. Having been to many, many airports, I can tell you first hand that the artwork in ALL airports is unlike any other airport.
Heck, just google “airport artwork” and prepare to have your mind blown. There are entire WEBSITES dedicated exclusively to airport artwork.
the Denver Airport is a Unique Architectural Structure and it was groundbreaking in its design you do agree with that don’t you?
Possibly. As I recall it was designed that way to mimick the mountains that it sits in front of. Still…are you saying that a building being unique makes it an obvious candidate for a Masonic conspiracy?
Have you ever seen an actual Masonic building? They are almost always build with very classical designs, using traditional columns and pilasters, of the ancient orders of architecture Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. Because these types of architecture are specifically mentioned in Masonic ritual, how are you proposing that a building that STRAYS from such types of architecture would be a strong candidate for some weird Masonic conspiracy?
So yes, the Denver airport has a unique design. I’ve been in that building many times….and as a Masons…the only thing that I’ve found even remotely Masonic about it is that one capstone over on the left by the security checkpoint.
I never said it was an “obvious candidate for a Masonic conspiracy”. I never mentioned a conspiracy. I was just wondering what the “New World Airport Commission” was and what the Masons involvement with the airport are. The site you sent me was all about weird conspiracy theories and didn’t really offer a credible answer to my question.

The site I sent you to was a catch all for the origins of the weird conspiracy theories about the airport.
AS for what New World Airport Commission is, we really don’t know, other than that it was a comission created for a few ceremonies around the time of the airport’s construction, and is no longer a functional comission.
I should also add that the whole “New World Order” thing, is also not a Masonic concept at all. It seems coincidental that this comission was named “New World” and that someone has tried to tie that into conspiracy theories.
Do you know what some people referred to America as? THE NEW WORLD! Could it be that this comission was named as a nod to that?
Maybe, but the thing is whoever was the Grand Master of Colorado back in ‘94 or who might have been involved at the time is most likely has retired from their positions, so they wouldn’t be there to answer.
My best guess is that the comittee itself was not composed primarily of Masons. One reader on the masonicinfo site who happened to be involved at the time posted in April of 2010 that “The New World Airport Commission was put together to organize and run the festivities that opened DIA. They ran the Air Show in September and put on the Dedication and Gala in November before the Airport opened. That was their only purpose and all events were a great success. No masonic ties.”
The thing is…I’m assuming you are asking because of the phrase “New World” being on the stone. Here I am, as a Mason, telling you that there is no “New World Order” conspiracy or agenda among Masons. Any Mason will tell you the same thing. If we did have such an agenda, why would we TELL you we didn’t, but then put it on a stone for everyone to see in a busy airport? Is it likely that we are pulling some big prank on you, or more likely that there was simply a comittee formed at the time of the opening of the airport called “New World Aiprort Comission” that asked the Masons to perform the cornerstone and capstone ceremonies, and that’s it?
I’m just trying to apply logic here using my knowledge about Freemasonry. Is the reason you are asking because “New World Airport Comission” has the same first two words as “New World Order” often quoted by conspiracy theorists?
Another thing that I should probably add is that each Grand Lodge is completely autonymous. There is no main Grand Lodge of the United States, or Grand Lodge of the world. So….me being here in Massachusetts in the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts doesn’t give me any exclusive information about the Grand Lodge of Colorado. If I wanted to find out more about that Denver dedication ceremony, I’d have to use the same methods available to you.
You just made a very erroneous assumption. I have never once brought up New World Order conspiracies. I have studied architecture (I was going to originally major in it) and that is what originally sparked my interest in the airport because of its cutting edge building techniques. The more I looked into it’s creation the more interesting it became. A plaque commemorating the laying of the corner stone of the airport that says “New World Airport Commission” and emblazoned with the freemason seal I think is significant and when there is no credible source that acknowledges that such a Commission exists let alone what it does is strange to say the least.
