Well, it depends upon what you mean by antiquity and what you mean by Modern 
Freemasonry.  There is no credible proof of the Masonic order back to either 
Egypt or Solomon's Temple or the Essenes.  OTH, Scottish lodges of accepted 
masons, i.e., not operative masons, go back to the 17th century with minutes 
of their meetings.  UGLE was a late comer.
